KINEMATIC ANALYSIS OF IMPAIRMENTS AND COMPENSATORY MOTOR BEHAVIOR DURING PROSTHETIC GRASPING IN BELOW-ELBOW AMPUTEES.

Kinematic analysis of impairments and compensatory motor behavior during prosthetic grasping in below-elbow amputees.

After a major upper limb amputation, the use of myoelectric prosthesis as assistive devices is possible.However, these prostheses remain quite difficult to control for grasping and manipulation of daily life objects.The aim of the present observational case study is to document the kinematics of grasping in a group of 10 below-elbow Shellfish Forks

Feline Foamy Virus is Highly Prevalent in Free-Ranging Puma concolor from Colorado, Florida and Southern California

Feline foamy virus (FFV) is a retrovirus that has been detected in multiple feline species, including domestic SOAP cats (Felis catus) and pumas (Puma concolor).FFV results in persistent infection but is generally thought to be apathogenic.Sero-prevalence in domestic cat populations has been documented in several countries, but the extent of viral
