Exploring the Link Between Motor Functions and the Relative Use of the More Affected Arm in Adults with Cerebral Palsy

Sensors
Individuals with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit reduced use of their more affected (MA) arm, yet the factors that influence its use during activities of daily living remain elusive.

Multiwavelength Implantable Oximeter for Wireless Monitoring of Tissue Oxygenation in the Presence of Blood Volume Changes

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents an implantable, wireless, battery‐free oximeter that can continuously monitor physiologically consistent regional tissue oxygenation under dynamic changes of blood volume. This is achieved through multiwavelength photoplethysmography and validated both via Monte Carlo simulations and in vivo rat studies. Different stress events were

Wearable‐Derived Diurnal Alignment Between Physical Activity and Device Temperature Predicts Future Disease and Mortality Risk

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Wearable‐derived diurnal alignment between physical activity and device temperature, decomposed into 24 h coupling strength (M24), phase deviation (D24), and 12 h harmonic magnitude (M12), is examined in approximately 90,000 UK Biobank participants.

Determining energy expenditure in a large seabird using accelerometry

, 2023
The trade off between energy gained and expended is the foundation of understanding how, why and when animals perform any activity. Based on the concept that animal movements have an energetic cost, accelerometry is increasingly being used to estimate ...

Effects of liquid stimuli on dual-axis swallowing accelerometry signals in a healthy population

BioMedical Engineering OnLine, 2010
Background Dual-axis swallowing accelerometry has recently been proposed as a tool for non-invasive analysis of swallowing function. Although swallowing is known to be physiologically modifiable by the type of food or liquid (i.e., stimuli), the effects ...

ETAPAS DO ENVELHECIMENTO REPRODUTIVO: EFEITOS NOS NÍVEIS DE ADIPOSIDADE, ATIVIDADE FÍSICA E VISITA À NATUREZA

Sağlık Akademisi Kastamonu, 2022
Introduction: Menopause marks an extensive period of hormonal changes in women. Estrogen depletion, combined with the aging process, increases fat mass, particularly intra-abdominal fat, and generates a decrease in muscle and bone mass, affecting women's

Homophily‐adjusted social influence estimation

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homophily and social influence are two key concepts of social network analysis. Distinguishing between these phenomena is difficult, and approaches to disambiguate the two have been primarily limited to longitudinal data analyses. In this study, we provide sufficient conditions for valid estimation of social influence through cross‐sectional ...
