Effect of Tai Chi Exercise Combined with Mental Imagery in Improving Balance
… group were hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C), H-reflex and nerve conduction velocity test. Results: This study showed that both groups experienced significant improvements in ABC, OLS, FRT (P < 0 .01) after completing 8 weeks of TC exercise, with no significant difference improvement between groups. …

Nerve Fiber Diameter Measurements Using Hematoxylin and Eosin Staining and Brightfield Microscopy to Assess the Novel Method of Characterizing Peripheral Nerve Fiber Distributions by Group Delay
… are known to selectively impact various size nerve fibers, which often makes it difficult to diagnose which peripheral neuropathy a patient might have. The nerve conduction velocity diagnostic test provides clinically useful information in the diagnosis of some peripheral neuropathies. This …

The effect of mindfulness movement therapy on arm and hand function in people with and without stroke
… in the brain. In phase III, MMTP increased nerve conduction velocity (p=0.018) with no changes in the active control group. Moreover, motor performance speed improved in the trained upper limb (p<0.0001). In the last phase, MMTP improved spasticity of the elbow flexor (p=0.025) and finger …

Implementation of Novel Group Delay Decomposition Method and Surgical Protocol for Assessing Peripheral Neuropathy
… for exposing and stimulating the sciatic nerve of an anesthetized rodent for purposes of obtaining conduction velocity readings. The ability to accurately quantify nerve conduction velocity has potential for use in the field of diagnostic medicine and disease characterization. An accurate …

Neural and Behavioural Consequences of Chronic Inflammation following Spinal Cord Injury
… impairment, neuropathic pain, and somatic nerve deficits. Ample evidence exists to suggest that the immune system communicates with, and influences the nervous system both centrally and peripherally. Pro-inflammatory cytokines have been shown to influence the nervous system directly by …
