The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of selective attention to plantar cutaneous sensation on muscular co-contraction of stroke patients during the stance phase of walking. [Subjects] Seven sub-acute stroke patients participated in this study. [Method] Subjects were given tasks of discriminating hardness differences of foam rubber with the sole of the paretic side. Electromyograms of the paretic leg during walking were recorded before, immediately after, and 15 min after the discrimination tasks. The muscular activity and the co-contraction index (CI) during the stance phase were determined. [Result] The muscular activity of the gastrocnemius and CI of the ankle joint significantly decreased immediately after the discrimination tasks. [Conclusion] These results suggest that selective attention to plantar cutaneous sensation on the paretic side immediately reduces muscular co-contraction of stroke patients during walking.

Romans in the Netherlands (5th-21st Century)
2007
In the western section of the town of Utrecht, the Netherlands, 30000 houses have been planned within a region that, almost 2000 years ago, was part of the frontier (the “Limes”) of the Roman Empire. Much effort is being put into the excavation and identification of parts of the buildings, roads and other objects belonging to the Limes. At the same time, in the south-eastern corner of the Netherlands, near the city of Maastricht, archaeologists, historical geographers and planners are discussing ways to visualise the long-lost Roman road from Boulogne to Cologne. Both projects take place in multi-layered historic landscapes that are characterised by medieval and more recent structures. The emphasis on Roman structures that have almost completely vanished underlines the continuing interest in the Roman Period. The present article shows that this fascination with the Romans has a long history and has influenced the cultural landscape during different periods.
