However, the babies who stayed in the units for four months or more, showed a slight and gradual decline in locomotor and cognitive scores. |
|
When locomotor function problems decrease our mobility, orthopedic aids are there to help. |
|
For these characteristics is also indicated for liver diseases and chronic diseases of the locomotor and respiratory system. |
|
The walking simulator will allow patients to safely re-acquire locomotor skills lost as a consequence of stroke. |
|
Furthermore, long, narrow enclosures should be avoided since they may restrict locomotor activity and social behaviour such as feeding frenzies. |
|
Muller et al. 1990: Impaired negative geotaxis, impaired performance in suspension and locomotor coordination tests. |
|
This second transition appears more profound than the first in that the distance traveled was greater and the full spectrum of semiaquatic locomotor morphologies was crossed. |
|
Most studies of the locomotor performance of reptiles have focused on lizards, with chelonians, especially hatchlings and juveniles, being largely overlooked. |
|
It also includes locomotor moves such as rolling, jumping, cartwheels, handsprings, and spins. |
|
A typical vertebrate's locomotor muscle needs at least 100 milliseconds to contract. |
|
Driving licences shall not be issued to or renewed for applicants or drivers suffering from complaints or abnormalities of the locomotor system which make it dangerous to drive a power-driven vehicle. |
|
In his study of muscular atrophy, Charcot described the symptoms of locomotor ataxia, a degeneration of the dorsal columns of the spinal cord and of the sensory nerve trunks. |
|
Such larvae have well-developed locomotor structures. |
|
Changes in cortically related intermuscular coherence accompanying improvements in locomotor skills in incomplete spinal cord injury. |
|
We found that the locomotor function was drastically reduced in the first day after SCI and gradually recovered with time, whereas the resumptive levels were distinct between the simvastatin and vehicle groups. |
|
In the late 1970s, the monoski was invented for Paralympic skiers, which enabled athletes with locomotor apparatus injuries to take part in alpine skiing. |
|
Investigated the changes in electrical properties of motoneurons in the infra-injury locomotor networks, in a model of transected spinal cord in the salamander. |
|
|
Isolation-induced locomotor hyperactivity and hypoalgesia in rats are prevented by handling and reversed by resocialization. |
|
Small doses of benserazide markedly enhance the increase in locomotor activity resulting from administration of levodopa, possibly as a result of greater dopaminergic transmission in the basal ganglia. |
|
In many of these species the foot is divided longitudinally into three parts, with locomotor activity being confined to the central section, which glides on a mucous track. |
|
The locomotor re-education deals with treatments for patients with pathologies affecting mainly the lower and upper limbs with specific care dedicated to affections of the hand. |
|
Behavioural restrictions caused by high stocking densities can result in an inability to perform locomotor and litter directed activities and thus can negatively affect the welfare of chickens. |
|
The Ministry of Education was trying to accommodate in normal classes as many children with special needs as possible, including children with locomotor or mental problems and street children. |
|
So-called high-energy injuries, which are often the main cause of paraplegia, also frequently result in additional injuries of the locomotor system. |
|
The many repetitions of unornamented locomotor movement describing great diagonals do eventually wear. |
|
When electrodes stimulated a part of the brain stem called the mesencephalic locomotor region, the rats began walking almost normally. |
|
Electrotherapy and electromagnetism have recently been reintroduced into medicine, principally in the field of locomotor systems. |
|
Specific diagnoses that cause distress in common daily life include anginal pain, urinary incontinence, locomotor problems, visual impairment, and mental disorders. |
|
Combining Schwann cell bridges and olfactory-ensheathing glia grafts with chondroitinase promotes locomotor recovery after complete transection of the spinal cord. |
|
Furthermore, our findings suggest that adenosine is the primary, if not sole, gliotransmitter responsible for the modulation of mouse spinal locomotor networks. |
|
Viala and Freton and Viala observed that direct central interactions do exist between the respiratory and the locomotor rhythms in decorticate rabbits. |
|
Those low dose effects tend to increase over time and this increase in activity in response to repeated alcohol exposure is called locomotor sensitization. |
