Tactile sensation is critical for effective object manipulation, but current prosthetic upper limbs make no provision delivering somesthetic feedback to the user. For individuals who require use of limbs, this lack transforms a mundane task into one that requires extreme concentration and effort. Although vibrotactile motors sensory substitution devices can be used convey gross sensations, direct neural interface required provide detailed intuitive feedback. In light this, we describe...
This pilot study aims to identify characteristic A-mode ultrasound features relevant noninvasive detection of esophageal bolus transit in the proximal esophagus. Ultrasound signals at a lateral neck site were obtained via single-element ultrasonic transducer with synchronous videofluoroscopic swallowing studies images swallows differing viscosities 21 adult dysphagia outpatients. Characteristic extracted differentiate bolus-filled from collapsed From subjects, 412 exhibited 4 reproducible...
Increased fat oxidation during the recovery period from exercise is thought to be a contributing factor for excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). In an attempt study effect of serum free fatty acid (FFA) availability and on EPOC, nicotinic acid, potent inhibitor FFA mobilization adipose tissue, was administered five trained male cyclists prior to, during, after bout cycling at 65% VO2max. trial, 500 mg dose ingested exercise, 100 doses were 15, 30, 45 min 30 recovery. The also...
Inspiratory muscle training can be used to strengthen the muscles employed when breathing in. This has been shown benefit exercise performance of a diverse group users including elite sports people. Unfortunately, existing devices do not provide an optimum stimulus. The principal limitations current are that they only statically, i.e. during exercise, and load does reflect force generating capacity targeted group. These could overcome if ambulatory responsive loading technology were...
Caffeine stimulates a release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue and has been shown to enhance fat utilization during an acute bout prolonged aerobic exercise. A previous study indicated that chronically ingesting caffeine prior exercise in training program may the fat-reducing effects In present study, mature male rats were divided into four groups: two groups swam 90min/day, 5 days/week for 10 weeks (caf-ex, no caf-ex), while served as sedentary controls (caf-sed, caf-sed). The...
Seventeen victims of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), were recorded as they produced /p t k b d g/ in a CVC syllable embedded carrier phrase. The duration the stop consonant closure period, release burst, and aspirated phase each stops, well total all pre- post-stop vowels was determined spectrographically. In general, ALS speakers highly varied speech which included numerous instances voicing throughout voiceless segments, frication voiced multiple bursts. Comparisons group mean...
The treatment of certain types cancers brings with it serious physiological and psychological side effects in cancer survivors, including: decreased aerobic capacity, muscle wasting, body composition changes, fatigue, a diminished overall quality life. Exercise may directly influence the treatment, also improve function. purpose this study was to examine effect exercise on function patients rehabilitating from treatment. A second evaluate differential low moderate intensity these variables....

Here, the feasibility of using nonimaging pulse‐echo ultrasound as a method noninvasively detecting bolus in proximal esophagus was demonstrated. To accomplish this, patient swallows were recorded on clinical device with research interface that allowed for collection data. These data processed series signal processing techniques both temporal and spectral domains, which revealed characteristic signatures unique liquid food boluses compared to normal collapsed esophageal state. Since...
While skinfold procedures have been determined to be the most accurate anthropometric measure for predicting body density, it has estimated that nearly one-half of error associated with estimating fat from anthropometry is result using Siri 2-component model equation. Therefore, purpose this study was compare independent estimates percent (%BF) by (SF) and densitometry (D) a multicomponent criterion (MCM) in group men(n=50) women (n=51) aged 19-82 years. Skinfold consisted Lange caliper...
