Myotonic dystrophy is a multisystemic disease with varying symptomatology. the aim of this study was to compare the maximal bite force and handgrip force in patients with molecular diagnosis of myotonic dystrophy with those ...

Introduction: Reorganized force control may be an important adaptation following painful traumas. In this study, force control adaptations were assessed in elbow pain patients. Increasing the contraction demand may overcome ...

The tapping mode is one of the mostly employed techniques in atomic force microscopy due to its accurate imaging quality for a wide variety of surfaces. However, chaotic microcantilever motion impairs the obtention of ...
