The Current State of Knowledge on the Clinical and Methodological Aspects of Extracorporeal Shock Waves Therapy in the Management of Post-Stroke Spas…
2021
In many patients after stroke, spasticity develops over time, resulting in a decrease in the patient’s independence, pain, worsening mood, and, consequently, lower quality of life. In the last ten years, a rich arsenal of physical agents to reduce muscle tone such as extracorporeal shock therapy (ESWT) wave has come through. The aim of this narrative review article is to present the current state of knowledge on the use of ESWT as a supplement to the comprehensive rehabilitation of people after stroke suffering from spasticity. The PubMed and PEDro databases were searched for papers published in English from January 2000 to December 2020, 22 of which met inclusion criteria for clinical stud…
Effectiveness of Shock Wave Therapy as a Treatment for Spasticity: A Systematic Review
2021
Background: The purpose of this study was to collect and analyse the available scientific evidence on the effectiveness of shock wave therapy as a treatment for spasticity. Methods: the search was performed in the following databases: PubMed, PEDro, Cochrane, Embase, and the Virtual Health Library. All publications from November 2009 to November 2019 were selected that included a sample of patients with spasticity and prior suspension of botulinum toxin, to whom shock wave therapy was applied. The methodological quality of the articles was evaluated using the Jadad scale and the pyramid of quality of scientific evidence. Results: 25 studies involving 866 participants with spasticity were se…
Cognitive representations of predicates and the use of past tenses in French: a developmental approach
1997
Two experiments examine how French 10-year-old children and adults relate past tenses to the semantic properties of predicate types in writing. Experiment 1 involved two tasks: graphically coding two predicate dimensions (durativity and resultativity), a task designed to assess cognitive representations of these predicates; and selecting past tenses in sentences which included previously evaluated verbs. Results show that (a) 10-year-olds and adults have comparable representations of durativity, but different ones for resultativity, (b) the adults associate process charac teristics and past tenses, but 10-year-olds do not. In Experiment 2, subjects only had to code graphically two dimensio…
Organic residue analysis shows sub-regional patterns in the use of pottery by Northern European hunter–gatherers
2020
The introduction of pottery vessels to Europe has long been seen as closely linked with the spread of agriculture and pastoralism from the Near East. The adoption of pottery technology by hunter–gatherers in Northern and Eastern Europe does not fit this paradigm, and its role within these communities is so far unresolved. To investigate the motivations for hunter–gatherer pottery use, here, we present the systematic analysis of the contents of 528 early vessels from the Baltic Sea region, mostly dating to the late 6th–5th millennium cal BC, using molecular and isotopic characterization techniques. The results demonstrate clear sub-regional trends in the use of ceramics by hunter–gatherers; …
Nutrient Additions Affecting Matter Turnover in Forest and Pasture Ecosystems
2013
Nutrient inputs into ecosystems of the tropical mountain rainforest region are projected to further increase in the next decades. To investigate whether important ecosystem services such as nutrient cycling and matter turnover in native forests and pasture ecosystems show different patterns of response, two nutrient addition experiments have been established: NUMEX in the forest and FERPAST at the pasture. Both ecosystems already responded 1.5 years after the start of nutrient application (N, P, NP, Ca). Interestingly, most nutrients remained in the respective systems. While the pasture grass was co-limited by N and P, most tree species responded to P addition. Soil microbial biomass in the…
Trīsgadīgu bērnu vārdu krājuma pilnveides iespējas dabas vērojumu procesā
2018
Bakalaura darba temats: Trīsgadīgu bērnu vārdu krājuma pilnveides iespējas dabas vērojuma procesā. Bakalaura darba autors: Kristīne Greļa Pētījuma mērķis: Teorētiski analizēt un pētīt 3 gadīgu bērnu vārdu krājuma pilnveides iespējas dabas pastaigu procesā. Darbs sastāv no divām daļām: 1.Darba pirmajā daļā tiek analizēta zinātniskā literatūra par valodas fenomenu. Kā valoda tiek traktēta no psiholoģijas, pedagoģijas un valodniecības skatu punktiem. Būtisks uzsvars tiek likts uz valodas nozīmi bērna attīstībā, svarīgākie valodas attīstības un pilnveides vecumposmi. Bērnu vārdu krājums ir atkarīgs no apkārtējās vides, gan mikro, gan makro vidē. 2.Otrajā daļā tiek izklāstītas pētījuma metožu iz…
Pareizas stājas stiprināšanas iespējas pastaigas laikā 3 - 4 gadus veciem bērniem
2021
Kvalifikācijas darba tēma: Pareizas stājas stiprināšanas iespējas pastaigas laikā 3-4 gadus veciem bērniem. Darba teorētiskajā daļā analizēta literatūra par fizisko aktivitāšu nozīmi bērnu attīstības procesā un pastaigu organizēšanas raksturojumu pirmsskolā. Izvērtēti 3-4 gadus vecu bērnu pareizas stājas kritēriji, lai skolotājs var kvalitatīvāk organizēt bērnu pastaigas. Par teorētisko atziņu bāzi kalpoja tādu zinātnieku pētījumi kā R. Karlovska (2003, 2010), M. Kļujevs, J. Kocs (1997), V. Golubina (2007), K. Hustyi, M. Normand, T. Larson, & A. Morley (2012). L. Saveļjeva (2015) u.c. Empīriskajā pētījuma daļā tika novērtēti bērni 3-4 gadus vecumā pēc noteiktiem kritērijiem, pastaigu laikā …
In assenza di intervento. Rappresentazioni digitali di restauri virtuali
2015
La simulazione della realtà attraverso le tecniche di rappresentazione digitale viene oggi in aiuto dei restauratori poiché consente loro di verificare l’impatto di un restauro ancor prima di intervenire. Ciò può contribuire a evitare interventi troppo invasivi e a contenere errate pratiche che, a volte, irrimediabilmente cancellano le tracce originali. Il saggio analizza alcune esperienze di ricerca sull’illuminazione nei modelli virtuali che sono emblematiche di un approccio possibile. Le ricostruzioni tridimensionali digitali analizzate forniscono non solo le informazioni spaziali e dimensionali ma anche gli aspetti cromatici e le caratteristiche di illuminazione di un’architettura. Lo s…

Medial gastrocnemius muscle and tendon interaction during gait in typically developing children and children with cerebral palsy
2020
1. IntroductionEfficient gait is dependent on optimal interaction between musclesand tendons [1]. Pathological changes in the extensibility of the MGmuscle fascicles, whole muscle-belly and Achilles tendon have beenreported in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) [2]. Studying therelative length of these tissues during gait can improve our understandingof their dynamics and, inferably, the control strategies used inCP. In-vivo dynamic ultrasound imaging has been used to visualise theinteraction between the MG muscle and tendon during 3D gait analysis.However, most studies combined ultrasound imaging of one variable(either fascicles or muscle-belly and tendon) with some form ofmusculosk…
