Effects of Two Types of Warm-Up Exercises on Vital Capacity and Forced Vital Capacity Values

Sport Mont, 2021
Valuable information can be obtained about the respiratory system when performing lung function tests. These tests show differences in pulmonary functional quantities, which can be attributed to many factors. Some fac- tors that may significantly affect the optimal pre-test values for pulmonary function may appear, including the subject’s physical ...

Clinical Significance of Bronchodilator Responsiveness Evaluated by Forced Vital Capacity in COPD: SPIROMICS Cohort Analysis. [PDF]

, 2019
ObjectiveBronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) is prevalent in COPD, but its clinical implications remain unclear. We explored the significance of BDR, defined by post-bronchodilator change in FEV1 (BDRFEV1) as a measure reflecting the change in flow and ...

Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles
