Engineers sometimes forget the importance of form while focusing on function. Persons with disabilities are often subjected to stares and the stigmas attached to the use of many assistive devices. In the design process, therefore, you must consider the aesthetics of the device. There is often an assumption that everyone loves technology as much as engineers.

Hz. The recovery of PCr was slower in control subjects following electrical stimulation compared with the rate following voluntary exercise. However, the recovery rate of PCr and calculated muscle maximum oxidative capacity in patients with spinal chord injury were 52% of those following electrical stimulation in controls. The energy cost of contraction and skeletal muscle energetics in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have been... 

RP-HPLC, using a citric acid-AcONa buffer-MeOH mobile phase and amperometric ELD. The method was used to demonstrate the increase of the H2O2 level in the extracellular liquid after impact injury on the spinal chord. The measured H2O2 levels were about 1...
