Precision medicine is the application of genotypic and Omics biomarkers to determine the most appropriate, outcome-driven therapy for individual patients. To determine the best choice of therapy, institutions use significant information technology-en...
INTRODUCTION: Interventions using robot-assisted therapy may be beneficial for the social skills development of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are lacking. The present research aims to asses...

Ventilation treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) requires the application of positive airway pressure at the end of expiration (PEEP) to avoid lung collapse. However, the total pressure exerted on the alveolar walls (PEEP) is the sum of PEEP and intr...
BACKGROUND: In the development of efficacious driven gait orthoses (DGO), it is an added value to consider patients' and therapists' perspectives concerning robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). A better understanding of these issues may improve the p...
