The correlation between lower limb spasticity and proprioceptive dysfunction in post-stroke patients by Shiai Gao, Zifu Yu, Xihua Liu

“…ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of muscle pinnate angle predicting spasticity (MAS ≥ 2 grade) was the largest (AUC = 0.850, 95%CI: 0.729–0.972), which was better than muscle fiber length (AUC = 0. 840) and muscle thickness (AUC = 0.838).ConclusionThere is a significant correlation between lower limb spasticity and proprioceptive and muscle structure parameters in stroke patients, and proprioception and muscle structure parameters are the key factors affecting spasticity, and musculoskeletal ultrasound can be used as a quantitative evaluation tool for lower limb spasticity in stroke.Clinical trial registrationhttps://itmctr.ccebtcm.org.cn/.…”

Beyond Adaptive Control: A Control Method for Nonlinear Systems With Uncertainties, Applied to COVID-19 by Andrew C. Mathis, Juan A. Carretero, Jonathon W. Sensinger

“…The dual controller performed 6.4% better than the adaptive controller in selecting policies to minimize the social and economic costs associated with both the policies and case counts using an established model of COVID-19 with sixteen uncertain parameters. Our results demonstrate that dual control is a powerful control tool that can handle complex, nonlinear, and stochastic systems in a robust and actively adaptive way while improving their performance.…”
