Improving the sensitivity of the Barthel Index for stroke rehabilitation

Journal of Clinical Epidemiology, 1989
The Barthel Index is considered to be the best of the ADL measurement scales. However, there are some scales that are more sensitive to small changes in functional independence than the Barthel Index. The sensitivity of the Barthel Index can be improved by expanding the number of categories used to record improvement in each ADL function.

A New Dynamic Index of Insulin Sensitivity

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 2006
Insulin sensitivity is a crucial parameter of glucose metabolism. The standard measures of insulin sensitivity obtained by an euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp, Si(clamp), or by the minimal model (MM), SI, do not account for the dynamics of insulin action, i.e., how fast or slow insulin action reaches its plateau value.

Cortisol as a sensitive index of heat-intolerance

Physiology & Behavior, 1982
The relationship between plasma cortisol levels, core temperatures, heat storage and the appearance of subjective manifestations of heat intolerance were investigated in two groups of 4 and 3 men, respectively. The first group underwent 4 randomized experimental sessions: a control session and three heat-exposure sessions (A: 48 degrees C, 34 Torr, 80 ...

The Parent Sensitivity to Child Anxiety Index

Child Psychiatry & Human Development, 2018
Anxiety sensitivity (AS) is the perception that anxiety symptoms and experiences have negative consequences, and has been identified as a risk factor for the development of anxiety disorders. AS has been measured in adults and in children, but to date, the construct of parent's sensitivity to their children's anxiety symptoms has not been identified ...

Virus Sensitivity Index of UV disinfection

Environmental Technology, 2015
A new concept of Virus Sensitivity Index (VSI) is defined as the ratio between the first-order inactivation rate constant of a virus, ki, and that of MS2-phage during UV disinfection, kr. MS2-phage is chosen as the reference virus because it is recommended as a virus indicator during UV reactor design and validation by the US Environmental Protection ...

A Sensitivity Analysis of the Social Vulnerability Index

Risk Analysis, 2008
The Social Vulnerability Index (SoVI), created by Cutter et al. (2003), examined the spatial patterns of social vulnerability to natural hazards at the county level in the United States in order to describe and understand the social burdens of risk. The purpose of this article is to examine the sensitivity of quantitative features underlying the SoVI ...

Automated Classification of an Environmental Sensitivity Index

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2005
Environmental Sensitivity Indices (ESI) composed of many field-data are essential for monitoring and control systems. At the beginning of the last decade an ESI of the German Wadden Sea was developed for use by the relevant authorities. This ESI was derived by experts semi-manually analysing the extensive field data-set.
