PURPOSE: The purpose of this article is to compare the predictive power of two models trained with computed tomography (CT)-based radiological features and both CT-based radiological and clinical features for pathologic femoral fractures in patients ...
BACKGROUND: Repetitive, active movement-based training promotes brain plasticity and motor recovery after stroke. Robotic therapy provides highly repetitive therapy that reduces motor impairment. However, the effect of assist-as-needed algorithms on ...
BACKGROUND: Muscle co-contraction is a strategy of increasing movement accuracy and stability employed in dealing with force perturbation of movement. It is often seen in neuropathological populations. The direction of movement influences the pattern...
The objective of the present study was to elaborate the program for differential diagnostics of acute pharyngeal diseases based on the 'ENT-Neuro' artificial neuronal network. The study group was formed by means of sampling patients with acute pharyn...

Osteoblastoma is a rare benign primary bone tumor, which occurs in any part of the skeleton. Extraskeletal osteoblastoma is rather rare. We presented an extremely rare case of extraskeletal osteoblastoma located in the breast. The tumor recurred 7 mo...
BACKGROUND: Robotic driven treatment plans targeting isolated joints of the upper limb have improved the sensorimotor condition of patients with stroke. Similar intensive efforts to allay lower limb gait impairment have not been so successful. In pat...
BACKGROUND: Recovering hand function has important implications for improving independence of patients with tetraplegia after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulation techniqu...
