The layers of loose connective tissue within deep fasciae were studied with particular emphasis
on the histochemical distribution of hyaluronan (HA). Samples of deep fascia together …

The successful motor rehabilitation of stroke patients requires early intensive and task-specific
therapy. A recent Cochrane Review, although based on a limited number of randomized …

Self‐assembly plays an important role in the formation of many chiral biological structures
and in the preparation of chiral functional materials. Therefore the control of chirality in …

Introduction. The role of robotics in poststroke patients’ rehabilitation has been investigated
intensively. This paper presents the state-of-the-art and the possible future role of robotics in …

When a chiral dopant is dissolved in an achiral liquid crystal medium, the whole sample
organizes into a helical structure with a characteristic length-scale of the order of microns. The …

Aim: To investigate the annual (2005) prevalence of nonspecific low back pain (LBP), defined
as lumbago not attributed to recognizable, known specific pathology, in a population of …
