โœฆ Synopsis

Stroke is the leading cause of disability in the adult worldwide. The most common neurological impairment following stroke is weakness or loss of sensibility of the extremities contralateral to the side of the brain lesion. Loss of sensory and/or motor function of the hand affects up to 60% of stroke survivors and constitutes a major problem for these individuals. Within recent years, progress in technology has provided several useful objective measures to quantify the impairments of both the kinetics and kinematics of grasping following stroke. This review summarizes current knowledge on the cortical correlates of grasping and gives an overview on the application of motion analysis to quantify the degree of disability, monitor recovery and evaluate modern treatment strategies to improve impaired hand function after stroke.

## Abstract We describe a technique for measuring dynamic motion at the low back along with the major lower limb joints during the toe touching maneuver. This type of motion analysis was carried out on eight normal volunteers. Flexion during the toe touching maneuver involves not only low back and

The relative effects of nanoparticle motion mechanisms of dilute suspensions, i.e., Brownian motion, thermophoresis and osmo-phoresis, including size dependence, on the thermal conductivity were theoretically investigated. The Brownian motion effect was found to be more significant by factors of O 1
