OBJECTIVE: To compare response to upper-limb treatment using robotics plus motor learning (ML) versus functional electrical stimulation (FES) plus ML versus ML alone, according to a measure of complex functional everyday tasks for chronic, severely i...
BACKGROUND: National guidelines (GLs) for surgical cytoreduction (CRS) and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy (HIPEC) in the management of peritoneal malignancies (PMs) vary across countries, scientific societies, and government agencies. This...
BACKGROUND: The therapeutic effect and mechanism of robot-assisted upper limb training (RT) combined with intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) for stroke patients are unclear.
