Progress in the clinical application of constraint-induced therapy following stroke since 2014

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Stroke is a group of cerebrovascular diseases with high prevalence and mortality rate. Stroke can induce many impairments, including motor and cognitive dysfunction, aphasia/dysarthria, dysphagia, and mood disorders, which may reduce the quality of life ...

Entrepreneurial Strategies in Transitional Industries from a Resource Perspective: A Case Study Analysis of the Business Models of German Soccer Clubs [PDF]

New England Journal of Entrepreneurship, 2002
How do soccer clubs seize entrepreneurial opportunities under the constraint of prior joint value (bilateral) creation but unilateral value exploitation? New propositions are developed that complement the resource-based perspective.

Motor Experience Reprograms Development of a Genetically-Altered Bilateral Corticospinal Motor Circuit. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Evidence suggests that motor experience plays a role in shaping development of the corticospinal system and voluntary motor control, which is a key motor function of the system.

Development and Feasibility of a Kinect-Based Constraint-Induced Therapy Program in the Home Setting for Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021
Introduction: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the leading cause of childhood-onset physical disability. Children with CP often have impaired upper limb (UL) function. Constraint-induced therapy (CIT) is one of the most effective UL interventions for children with

Unified primal-dual active set method for dynamic frictional contact problems

Fixed Point Theory and Algorithms for Sciences and Engineering, 2022
In this paper, we propose a semi-smooth Newton method and a primal-dual active set strategy to solve dynamical contact problems with friction. The conditions of contact with Coulomb’s friction can be formulated in the form of a fixed point problem ...

A Multivalued Variational Inequality with Unilateral Constraints [PDF]

, 2016
The present paper represents a continuation of [3]. There, we studied a new class of variational inequalities involving a pseudomonotone univalued operator and a multivalued operator, for which we obtained an existence result, among others. In the current paper we prove that this result remains valid under significantly weaker assumption on the ...

Nonlinear periodic system with unilateral constraints

Topological Methods in Nonlinear Analysis, 2019
In this paper, the following periodic system is studied: \[ a(u'(t))' \in A(u(t)) + f(t,u(t),u'(t)) \quad \text{a.e.}\;\, t \in [0,b],\qquad u(0)=u(b), \ u'(0)=u'(b), \] where \(a : \mathbb{R}^N \to \mathbb{R}^N\) is continuous and strictly monotone, \(A\) is a maximal monotone operator with \(D(A) \subset \mathbb{R}^N\), and the map \(f\) is a ...
