Prevalence of multiple sclerosis in the Parsis of Bombay.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:To test the hypothesis that, in the context of robotic therapy designed to enhance proprioceptive feedback via a Hebbian model, integrity of both somatosensory and motor systems would be important in understanding interparticipant differences in treatment-related motor gains. METHODS:In 30 patients with chro...
