problem, but with different underlying causes due to differing pathologies. Similarities and differences of each patient’s primary and secondary problems will be discussed, and how they result in their shared functional problem of limited bilateral upper limb function. Primary deficits caused by the initial pathology, result in alterations to the nervous system impacting on normal movement (Shamway-Cook & Woollacott, 2007). This is caused by altered sensory input, and motor output, and an altered

It has been reported that up to 85% of stroke survivors experience hemiparesis and that 55% to 75% of stroke survivors have continued to have limitation in upper- extremity functioning (2). Upper limb impairments in people who have had a stroke are well documented and include spasticity, dystonia, and muscle contracture, loss of strength and dexterity, decreased active joint range of motion and lack of movement speed, precision

According to Go et al1, an American dies from a stroke every 4 minutes. In the United States, stroke is the 4th leading cause of death and major cause of a serious and long-term disability.1 A stroke occurs when the blood supply

Introduction Functionality of Upper limb is fundamental for the execution of basic activities of daily living (ADL) like eating, drinking and personal hygiene. One of the most common sequelae in central nervous system injury is impaired upper limb function, which is affected in more than 80% of stroke cases (1) . Stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults in the United States, affecting an estimated 730,000 people per year. It is therefore a major and increasing health care problem and

are presented in order to understand the added value of robotics that cannot be exploited in other devices. The importance of passive exercise and active tasks is then discussed using the results of various clinical trials, followed by the place of upper and lower extremity robotic devices in rehabilitation practice. The closing section refers to the general importance of measurements in this area and stresses quantitative measurements as one of the advantages in using robotic devices. Keywords: Robot

throwing, gymnastics, soccer, wrestling, football, softball, and cheerleading. Some symptoms of tearing your UCL are pain on the inside of your elbow, and a sense of looseness or instability in the elbow. UCL surgery many interfere with non-throwing activities such as batting for baseball, lifting weights, and running. Sometimes, a doctor can diagnose a UCL injury just through a history and physical examination. Tommy John surgery repairs an injured elbow ligament. It's most commonly done on college and

(the inside of the elbow). The UCL is a triangular, thick section of tissue that stabilizes the arm bone (humerus) and the ulna.” The UCL provides the most support for the elbow when throwing and is the biggest ligament connecting the forearm and upper arm. The UCL can be loosened by stretching because it is a ligament and it can become tight as well. This ligament is not a very complex structure itself. As you can see in the picture this is really the only major ligament in the elbow. So you can

body has a "normal" range of motion. Joints maintain their normal range of motion by being moved. It is therefore very important to move all your joints every day. Stiff joints can cause pain and can make it hard for you to do your normal daily activities. Each person with ALS needs a program of exercise tailored to his or her individual needs and abilities. With a prescription your doctor can either send you to an outpatient clinic to see a Physical Therapist or have one come to your home to help
