Isometric force pillow: using air pressure to quantify involuntary finger flexion in the presence of hypertonia

Survivors of central nervous system injury commonly present with spastic hypertonia. The affected muscles are hyperexcitable and can display involuntary static muscle tone and an exaggerated stretch reflex. These symptoms affect posture and disrupt activities of daily living. Symptoms are typically measured using subjective manual tests such as the Modified Ashworth Scale; however, more quantitative measures are necessary to evaluate potential treatments. The hands are one of the most common targets for intervention, but few investigators attempt to quantify symptoms of spastic hypertonia affecting the fingers. We present the isometric force pillow (IFP) to quantify involuntary grip force. This lightweight, computerized tool provides a holistic measure of finger flexion force and can be used in various orientations for clinical testing and to measure the impact of assistive devices

Use of Pedal in Selected Piano Music of Alberto Ginastera.

This monograph examines the piano compositions of Alberto Ginastera and develops possible suggestions for the instruction of pedaling. These suggestions assist teachers in their instruction of piano students, possibly resulting in more authentic, convincing performances. This paper includes suggestions as to why one type of pedaling might be preferable to another. Such suggestions stem not only from a study of harmony, texture, dynamics, notation, and rhythm, but also from comparisons between Ginastera\u27s works that contain pedal markings and those that do not. This monograph draws conclusions about pedaling based upon analysis of selected piano compositions by Ginastera. The repertoire chosen for study includes Danzas argentinas, op. 2 (Durand & Cie); 12 American Preludes, op. 12 (Carl Fischer, Inc.); Suite de danzas criollas, op. 15 (Boosey & Hawkes) and Rondo on Argentine Children\u27s Folk Tunes, op. 19 (Boosey & Hawkes). The monograph further discusses procedures that should help enable pianists to make informed pedaling choices for performance
