19. Avaliação funcional do membro superior homolateral em indivíduos com acidente vascular encefálico
Estudos anteriores evidenciaram que o membro superior homolateral (MSH) ao acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) em sujeitos com hemiparesia apresenta déficit no desempenho de atividades que exigem integração sensório-motora complexa, porém existem divergências sobre a existência deste déficit na execução de tarefas simples. Este estudo teve como obj

20. Analysis of the hand grip forces at elderly practicants and non-practicants of regular physical exercises / Análise da força de preensão manual em idosos praticantes e não praticantes de exercícios físicos regulares
Introduction: The hand grip is a very usual task in daily life. To grab or hold any object with hands and manipulate it, a minimum force and dexterity are necessary. In elderly people, due to the natural aging process and loss of muscular force, the hand grip biomechanical parameters can be indicators of total body force, independence and quality of life. Ob

21. Determinação e modulação da excitabilidade cortical pela estimação magnética transcraniana
15 In the present study, we performed rTMS in five patients with intractable epilepsy, recording the number of daily seizures during 3 months before treatment, 3 months of treatment with bi-weekly rTMS sessions, and for 3 months after treatment. We have found a mean reduction of 22% in the number of daily seizures, during the period of treatment (range: 9.23
