Multimodal monitoring has become particularly common in the study of human brain
function. In this context, combined, synchronous measurements of functional near-infrared …

FNIRS pre-processing and processing methodologies are very important—how a researcher
chooses to process their data can change the outcome of an experiment. The purpose of this …

Bedridden patients usually stay in bed for long periods, presenting several problems caused
by immobility, leading to a long recovery process. Thus, identifying physical rehabilitation …

Proprioception is the sense of body position and movement that relies on afference from the
proprioceptors in muscles and joints. Proprioceptive responses in the primary sensorimotor …

Bedridden patients usually stay in bed for long periods, presenting several motor problems
caused by immobility, such as reductions in muscle mass, bone mineral density and …

Critically ill patients that stay in Intensive Care Units (ICU) for long periods suffer from Post-
Intensive Care Syndrome or ICU Acquired Weakness, whose effects can decrease patients' …

Background: Although early rehabilitation is important following a stroke, severely affected
patients have limited options for intensive rehabilitation as they are often bedridden. To …

Multidomain instrumental evaluation of post-stroke chronic patients, coupled with standard
clinical assessments, has rarely been exploited in the literature. Such an approach may be …

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are a very promising class of metallic materials that display
interesting nonlinear properties, such as pseudoelasticity (PE), shape memory effect (SME) …

Objective This study aimed to explore the impact of exercise training modes on sensory and
