MUSCLE WEAKNESS AND LACK OF REFLEX GAIN ADAPTATION PREDOMINATE DURING POST-STROKE POSTURE CONTROL OF THE WRIST

Muscle weakness and lack of reflex gain adaptation predominate during post-stroke posture control of the wrist

Abstract Background Instead of hyper-reflexia as sole paradigm, post-stroke movement disorders are currently considered the result of a complex interplay between neuronal and muscular properties, modified by level of activity.We used a closed loop system identification technique to quantify individual contributors to wrist joint stiffness during an

Effects of Variable Eruption Source Parameters on Volcanic Plume Transport: Example of the 23 November 2013 Paroxysm of Etna

The purpose of the present paper is to investigate the effects of variable eruption source parameters on volcanic plume transport in the Mediterranean basin after the paroxysm of Mount Etna on 23 November 2013.This paroxysm was characterized by a north-east transport of ash and gas, caused by a low-pressure system in northern Italy.It is evaluated
