No full textA 3D Printed Wearable Glove with Inflatable Chambers
No full textFor individuals with limited hand mobility due to injury or surgery,
active hand-rehabilitation is critical for regaining range of motion, flexibility,
and strength. This study presents a novel wearable glove designed to enhance
active hand rehabilitation therapy. The wearable glove, fabricated using threedimensional
printing (3D printing) with flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU
60) and durable tough polylactic acid (tough PLA), features adjustable inflatable
chambers targeting the torque applied to metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal
interphalangeal (PIP) joints. These chambers enable personalized resistance
training by allowing therapists to adjust air pressure within the chambers. The variation
of stiffness and resistance force exerted by the chambers, as well as torsional
stiffness at the MCP and PIP joints during finger bending, are investigated. This
research contributes to the development of pressure-based personalized resistance
training for hand rehabilitation. Results indicate that the adjustable chambers in
the wearable device offer a promising approach to enhance hand rehabilitation
La valutazione neuropsicologica della simulazione: uno studio su pazienti cerebrolesi
No full textNeuropsychological assessment relies on objective procedures to evaluate cognitive deficits in brain-damaged patients. These procedures are relevant in forensic setting for assessment of feigned cognitive disorders. Here we aimed to assess the neuropsychological profile of brain-damaged patients “with a high feigning tendency” and of brain-damaged patients “with a low feigning tendency” by means of a standard neuropsychological battery also including a task specifically devised to detect simulation (i.e., the Test of Memory Malingering, TOMM). Results showed that the group “with a high feigning tendency” was significantly impaired with respect to the other group (and a group of healthy controls) on specific long-term memory tasks and on TOMM. Implications of the present findings are discussed with respect to the best practice for assessing cognitive deficits in forensic setting.L’esame neuropsicologico consiste in un insieme di procedure finalizzate alla valutazione obiettiva dei disturbi cognitivi conseguenti a danno cerebrale. Tali procedure appaiono di grande utilità per la detezione della simulazione. Scopo del presente lavoro è verificare se sia possibile differenziare pazienti cerebrolesi “ad elevato rischio di simulazione” (contesto medicolegale) da pazienti “a basso rischio di simulazione” (contesto clinico) grazie all’uso combinato di test neuropsicologici standard e del Test of Memory Malingering neuropsicologia, simulazione, Test of Memory Malingering, memoria, danno neurocognitivo(TOMM). I risultati hanno mostrato nel gruppo medico-legale prestazioni significativamente peggiori rispetto al gruppo clinico (e a un gruppo di controlli sani) in prove di memoria a lungo termine verbale e al TOMM. Sono discusse le implicazioni rispetto alla selezione di metodi di indagine efficaci per la misurazione del danno neurocognitivo

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
