This paper reviews the current capacity of personnel in enabling access to assistive technology (AT) as well systems and processes within which they work, was reviewed, discussed, refined during following Global Research, Innovation, Education Assistive Technology (GREAT) Summit.Key concepts addressed include a person-centred team approach; sustainability indicators monitor, measure, respond needs for service design delivery; education, research, training competent practice, using six...
Background: Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is among the most common causes of lower back pain and sciatica. The LDH have not been fully elucidated but likely involve a complex combination mechanical biological processes. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) tool frequently used for because it can show abnormal soft tissue areas around spine. Deep learning models may be trained to recognize images with high speed accuracy diagnose LDH. Although deep model requires huge numbers image datasets train...
Diabetic foot ulcers are one of the most serious complications associated with diabetes mellitus. Current research studies have demonstrated that biomechanical alterations diabetic contribute to development ulcers. However, changes soft tissue properties and its influences on not been investigated. The purpose this study was investigate effect plantar tissues relationship between pressure distributions. We used ultrasound indentation tests measure force-deformation relationships calculate...
Foot progression angle (FPA) analysis is one of the core methods to detect gait pathologies as basic information prevent foot injury from excessive in-toeing and out-toeing. Deep learning-based object detection can assist in measuring FPA through plantar pressure images. This study aims establish a precision model for determining FPA. The provide with in-toeing, out-toeing, rearfoot kinematics evaluate effect physical therapy programs on knee pain osteoarthritis. We analyzed total 1424...
Background: In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), lumbar disc herniation (LDH) detection is challenging due to the various shapes, sizes, angles, and regions associated with bulges, protrusions, extrusions, sequestrations. Lumbar abnormalities in MRI can be detected automatically by using deep learning methods. As models gain recognition, they may assist diagnosing LDH images provide initial interpretation clinical settings. YOU ONLY LOOK ONCE (YOLO) model series are often used train...
Tai Chi exercise has been demonstrated to be beneficial for health and quality of life. However, the mind–body effect on modulating interactions cardiovascular components not investigated. This study aimed differentiate (mind–body exercise) brisk walking (aerobic skin blood flow oscillations (BFO) upper lower limbs heart rate variability (HRV). Bafa Wubu 15 min were performed by 30 adults in two different days. Wavelet phase coherence was employed assess coordination between HRV BFO before...
Cupping therapy is a popular intervention for improving muscle recovery after exercise although clinical evidence weak. Previous studies demonstrated that cupping may improve microcirculation of the soft tissue to accelerate healing. However, it unclear whether size could affect spatial hemodynamic response treated muscle. The objective this study was use 8-channel near-infrared spectroscopy assess question by assessing effect 3 sizes (35, 40, and 45 mm in inner diameter circular cup) under...
Abstract To evaluate the impact of air insole on reducing risk diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) in healthy individuals through microcirculation assessment, which considers blood flow as a critical factor due to role peripheral vascular disease DFU development. The study analyzes interaction between pressure and walking duration. Repeated-measures design was used assess effects two durations (10 20 min) three pressures (80, 160, 240 mmHg), resulting six conditions tested 13 participants. average...
Pressure-induced skin blood flow responses measured via laser Doppler flowmetry are commonly reported in the time domain. The usefulness of spectral analysis examining control mechanisms has been demonstrated, but traditional Fourier does not provide sufficient resolution to reveal characteristic low frequencies. Time-frequency (wavelet) was performed on 10 subjects' sacral heating (45 degrees C) with improved resolution. Five frequency bands were identified (0.008-0.02 Hz, 0.02-0.05...
Diabetic foot ulcers remain one of the most serious complications diabetes. Peak plantar pressure (PPP) and peak gradient (PPG) during walking have been shown to be associated with development diabetic ulcers. To gain further insight into mechanical etiology ulcers, examination angle (PGA) has recently proposed. The PGA quantifies directional variation or orientation provides a measure whether patterns are concentrated dispersed along surface. We hypothesized that diabetics at risk...
