The demographic change in industrial countries, with increasingly sedentary lifestyles, has a negative impact on mental health. Normal and pathological aging leads to cognitive deficits. This development poses major challenges national health systems. Therefore, it is necessary develop efficient enhancement strategies. combination of regular physical exercise stimulation seems especially suited increase an individual’s reserve, i.e. his/her resistance degenerative processes the brain. Here,...
Dancing is a complex sensorimotor activity involving physical and mental elements which have positive effects on cognitive functions motor control. The present randomized controlled trial aims to analyze the of dancing program performance motor-cognitive dual task. Data 35 older adults, who were assigned group or health-related exercise group, are presented in study. In pretest posttest, we assessed variability minimum foot clearance, stride time, length while walking. Regarding...
Gait phase detection in IMU-based gait analysis has some limitations due to walking style variations and physical impairments of individuals. Therefore, available algorithms may not work properly when the data is noisy, or person rarely reaches a steady state walking. The aim this was employ Artificial Intelligence (AI), specifically long short-term memory (LSTM) algorithm, overcome these weaknesses. Three supervised LSTM-based models were designed estimate expected phases, including...
In this paper we report on our ongoing studies around the application of augmented reality methods to support order picking process logistics applications. Order is gathering goods out a prepared range items following some customer orders. We named visual using head-mounted displays ldquopick-by-visionrdquo. This work presents case study bringing previously developed pick-by-vision system from lab an experimental factory hall evaluate it under more realistic conditions. includes execution...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Physical exercise has a positive effect on cognitive performance and quality of life (QoL). One reason for this is the upregulation brain-derived neurotrophic factor, which improves brain plasticity. Intermittent hypoxia promotes first proliferation endogenous neuroprogenitors leads to an increased number newborn neurons second expression factor in adult hippocampus. may, therefore, support synaptic plasticity, process learning provoke...
Abstract Objective To investigate the effect of a 12-week multimodal motor-cognitive and resistance training (MMI) compared to unimodal intervention (UMI) on static dynamic visual function in glaucoma patients (GLA) healthy controls (HC). Methods Fifteen GLA 24 age-matched HC participated this randomized, controlled longitudinal pilot study. Visual was assessed using clinical parameters and, treadmill, (TM) while standing (static, S 0 ) as well during walking at 3.5 km/h (S self-preferred...
Gait is an extraordinary complex function of human body that involves the activation entire visceral nervous system, making gait definite to various functional abnormalities. Diagnosis and treatment such disorders prior their development can be achieved through integration modern technologies with state-of-the-art developed methods. Modern machine learning techniques have outperformed complemented use conventional statistical methods in bio-medical systems. In this research a wearable sensor...
Background: It was recently shown that intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic exposure (IHHE) applied prior to a multimodal training program promoted additional improvements in cognitive and physical performance geriatric patients compared only. However, there is gap the literature which extent addition of IHHE can enhance effects an aerobic training. Therefore, aim this study investigate efficacy cycling exercise on patients. Methods: In randomized, two-armed, controlled, single-blinded trial, 25...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose:</bold> Aging is an inevitable process leading, inter alia, to the loss of muscle mass as well decrease in physical and cognitive function. These age-related impairments translate into a reduced gait performance increased risk falls, which can be tackled with resistance training, Unimodal intervention (UMI). However, Multimodal (MMI), i.e. combined motor-cognitive might more promising approach increase function old adults. Therefore, this pilot study...
