This data suggest WBV as a potential training modality during an hospitalized acute exacerbation of COPD.
These data argue for utilization of WBV as a recovery method rather than a modality superimposed during a bout of standard resistance exercise.
Further, these modality specific maps are highly interdependent and any alterations of the visual or auditory modality during the development have a great impact on the spatial representation of the spared modality in the superior colliculus [46], [47], [48]; the mechanisms of sound localization are supported by a large network of subcortical and cortical regions [49], [50], [51].
78 Beyond serving as a modality during sympathectomy for HH, 79, 80 laser technology has also been employed externally for glandular disruption in the treatment of HH and osmidrosis.
Similarly, after restricting our cohort to patients who received a consistent modality during the first three treatment sessions (n = 183), we did not identify a relationship between SLED and 30-day mortality [adjusted OR 1.36, 95 % CI 0.61 3.82] (Table 4).
Korean herbal medicine (KHM) is widely used as a therapeutic modality during pregnancy in Korea.
These results have implications for using sensory stimulation as a therapeutic modality during gait retraining (e.g. after stroke) as well as for footwear design and implementation of foot sole contact surfaces during gait.
For example, even though the visual cortex appears dedicated to process a particular class of information, it can be recruited by a different sense modality during the reading of Braille whether the subject has congenital, acquired or induced (blindfold) blindness (Sadato et alia 1996, 1998; see also Pascual-Leone and Hamilton 2001; Pascual-Leone et alia 1998).
Cerebral tissue oximetry by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a growing monitoring modality during surgery and intensive care.
These findings are consistent with 3 prior studies examining DW-MRI as a predictive imaging modality during chemoradiotherapy [ 19, 25, 26].
