How to properly stretch before a workout Staying physically fit can only benefit the body and the mind. Physical activity is essential to prevent and reduce risks of many diseases and improve physical and mental health. When you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine. The authors of the Lancet studies even suggest that 6-10% of the world’s non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, diabetes

Spasticity is usually caused by damage to the portion of the brain or spinal cord that controls voluntary movement. The damage causes a change in the balance of signals between the nervous system and the muscles. This imbalance leads to increased activity in the muscles. Spasticity negatively affects muscles and joints of the extremities, and is particularly harmful to growing children. 1.2. PREVALENCE AND INCIDENCE Spasticity affects more than an estimated 12 million people worldwide. 1.3. OTHER

A. Hypothesis and Specific Aims In many debilitating conditions produced by structural brain injuries such as diffuse axonal injury, stroke, neurodegenerative disease, as well as functional disorders such as depression, objective measures of activity are crucial to assess disease severity, and consequently management and outcome assessment. Recent advances in miniaturization – specifically, the availability of compact and inexpensive accelerometers and gyroscopes – opens up the possibility of making

eligibility criteria with mild to moderate motor impairment were randomized. Both groups executed a warm up session for 10 minutes that consisted of trunk flexion, extension and rotation, associated with upper and lower limbs stretching. The PT group followed a program that consisted of trunk and limb mobilisation, balance, muscle strengthening, rhythmic movement, postural alignment, double-task execution, bimanual tasks, and gait training. The Nintendo Wii group executed a sequence of tasks according

near the core and this residual heat, heats up the surrounding magma causing it to rise. This forms the rising limb of the convection current. When the current reaches the lithosphere, made up of the crust and the upper part of the mantle, the convection currents diverge. As it diverges, it drags the lithosphere with it. The convection current cools and descends forming the descending limb of the convection current. This pulls with it the lithosphere in a process known as dragging. This is proved by
