Impaired Postural Control and Altered Sensory Organization During Quiet Stance Following Neurotoxic Chemotherapy: A Preliminary Study

Integrative Cancer Therapies, 2019
Individuals diagnosed with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) demonstrate impaired balance and carry an increased risk of falling. However, prior investigations of postural instability have only compared these individuals against healthy ...

EFFECTS OF FORWARD HEAD POSTURE ON POSTURAL BALANCE IN YOUNG ADULTS.

International Journal of Approximate Reasoning, 2019
Forward head Posture is nowadays one of the most common postural problems. Forward head posture can lead to upper cross syndrome, shortening of muscular fibers around articulation atlanto occipitals and overstretching of muscles around these joints. This can cause shift of line of gravity more anteriorly causing balance disturbances.

Balance and postural control in basketball players

Fisioterapia em Movimento, 2017
Abstract Introduction: Basketball is one of the most popular sports involving gestures and movements that require single-leg based support. Dorsiflexion range of motion (DROM), balance and postural control may influence the performance of this sport.

A Wearable Soft Actuator for Directional Tactile Stimulation: Design and Testing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A wearable actuator able to produce directional tactile stimulation is obtained by embedding a planar shape memory spring in silicone matrix. The matrix is designed taking into account skin characteristics and leveraging its multifunctionality: it acts as a bias load, improves the thermal behavior of the spring and wearability.

Trajectories of Change in Creative and Personal Factors in First‐Year Creative Arts Therapies Students

The Journal of Creative Behavior, Volume 56, Issue 4, Page 521-539, December 2022., 2022
Abstract There is little research on the transformational processes of creative arts therapies (CATs) students during training compared to other healthcare professions. CATs training relies on arts‐based experiential learning that can develop the therapist’s creative self‐beliefs, psychological mindedness, and perspective‐taking.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

Multi‐Risk‐Level Sarcopenia‐Prone Screening via Machine Learning Classification of Sit‐to‐Stand Motion Metrics from Wearable Sensors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning approach utilizes micro inertial measurement units (μIMUs) for noninvasive sarcopenia screening through a sit‐to‐stand test. With 53 older participants wearing IMUs, 510 features are extracted across four motion phases. Five algorithms (support vector machine, K‐nearest neighbors, decision tree, linear discriminant analysis, and ...
