synergistic and antagonistic muscles. In the group of CP, there was a significant correlation (rho=-0.71, p<0.05) between the number of muscles activated during dorsiflexion (1-7 muscles) and the SMC scores (1 -4). A trend for positive correlation between...
Modulation of the HPA axis alters the sensitivity of the cochlea to acoustic trauma
(2006-10-27)
