Kinematic Analysis of Tendon-Driven Robotic Mechanisms Using Graph Theory [PDF]
Journal of Mechanisms, Transmissions, and Automation in Design, 1989 The kinematic structure of tendon-driven robotic mechanisms has been investigated with the aid of graph theory. The correspondence between the graph representation of the kinematic structure and the mechanism has been established. We have shown that the kinematic structure of tendon-driven kinematic chains is similar to that of epicyclic gear trains ...

Reciprocal Inhibition Post-stroke is Related to Reflex Excitability and Movement Ability [PDF]
, 2012 Objective Decreased reciprocal inhibition (RI) of motor neurons may contribute to spasticity after stroke. However, decreased RI is not a uniform observation among stroke survivors, suggesting that this spinal circuit may be influenced by other stroke ...

Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathy due to Biallelic Pathogenic Variants in PIGM
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective PIGM encodes a critical enzyme in the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)‐anchor biosynthesis pathway. While promoter‐region mutations in PIGM have been associated with a relatively mild phenotype characterized by portal vein thrombosis and absence seizures, recent evidence suggests that coding‐region mutations result in a more severe
