<h3>Importance</h3> Lower back pain (LBP) is a prevalent and challenging condition in primary care. The effectiveness of an individually tailored self-management support tool delivered via smartphone app has not been rigorously tested. <h3>Objective</h3> To investigate the ofselfBACK, evidence-based, system through as adjunct to usual care for adults with LBP-related disability. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This randomized clinical trial intention-to-treat data analysis enrolled...
Importance Self-management is a key element in the care of persistent neck and low back pain. Individually tailored self-management support delivered via smartphone app specialist setting has not been tested. Objective To determine effect individually an artificial intelligence–based (SELFBACK) adjunct to usual vs alone or nontailored web-based (e-Help) on musculoskeletal health. Design, Setting, Participants This randomized clinical trial recruited adults 18 years older with and/or pain who...
Aim To investigate whether more prominent signs of muscle fatigue occur during self‐paced walking in children with cerebral palsy ( CP ) compared to typically developing peers. Method In this case–control study, 13 (four males, nine females; mean age [ SD ] 11y 4mo [3y 8mo]; Gross Motor Function Classification System GMFCS level I, three II , and one III 14 peers (nine five 9y 10mo [1y 10mo]) walked 5 minutes overground at a self‐selected speed. Electromyography EMG median frequency root...
Introduction : Accelerometer-based measurements of physical activity types are commonly used to replace self-reports. To advance the field, it is desirable that such allow accurate detection key daily types. This study aimed evaluate performance a machine learning classifier for detecting sitting, standing, lying, walking, running, and cycling based on dual versus single accelerometer setups during free-living. Methods Twenty-two adults (mean age [SD, range] 38.7 [14.4, 25–68] years) were...
Exergames are increasingly used in rehabilitation settings for older adults to train physical and cognitive abilities. To meet the potential that exergames hold, they need be adapted individual abilities of player their training objectives. Therefore, it is important know whether how game characteristics affect playing. The aim this study investigate effect two different kinds exergame (step balance game) played at difficulty levels on brain activity activity.Twenty-eight independently...
The aim of this study was to assess how different groups health professionals evaluated the usability a new electronic record (EHR) and investigate association between burnout, insomnia turnover intention. This cross-sectional included 1424 who worked at Norwegian University Hospital. measured with System Usability Scale (SUS) 6 months after previous replaced more comprehensive, sector-wide, patient-centred EHR in 2022. median SUS score 25 (IQR 12.5-37.5) out 100 ranged from 15 7.5-25.0)...
To investigate whether moderate intensity endurance exercise has similar effects on cardiovascular fitness and autonomic function in patients with fibromyalgia healthy controls.Case-control intervention study.Twenty-five female 25 age- sex-matched controls (age range 40-64 years) were recruited to the study. Fifteen 19 participated at both pre- post-test.Supervised spinning workouts of (~75% age-predicted maximum heart rate) performed twice a week for 12 weeks. Cardiovascular was evaluated...
Abstract Background Motor problems are reported by patients with fibromyalgia (FM). However, the mechanisms leading to alterations in motor performance not well understood. In this study, upper limb position control during sustained isometric contractions was investigated FM and healthy controls (HCs). Methods Fifteen female 13 HCs were asked keep a constant elbow flexion shoulder abduction, respectively. Subjects received real-time visual feedback on both tasks performed unloaded while...
Introduction Low back pain (LBP) and neck (NP) are common costly conditions. Self-management is a key element in the care of persistent LBP NP. Artificial intelligence can be used to support tailor self-management interventions, but their effectiveness needs ascertained. The aims this trial (1) evaluate an individually tailored app-based intervention ( selfBACK) adjunct usual people with and/or NP secondary compared only, (2) compare selfBACK web-based without individual tailoring (e-Help)....
selfBACK is an artificial intelligence based self-management app for low back pain (LBP) recently reported to reduce LBP-related disability. The aim of this study was examine if age, gender, or education modify the effectiveness intervention using secondary analysis randomized controlled trial. Persons seeking care LBP were recruited from primary in Denmark and Norway outpatient clinic (Denmark). group (n = 232) received adjunct usual care. control 229) only. Analyses stratified by age...
Impaired postural control is a key feature of cerebral palsy that affects daily living. Measures trunk movement and acceleration have been used to assess dynamic previously. In many children with palsy, ankle-foot orthoses are provide stable base support, but their effect on not yet understood.The objectives the current study were investigate effects energy cost walking in palsy.Clinical controls.Trunk accelerometry (amplitude structure) (J/kg/m) recorded from five-minute trials without for...
Human Activity Recognition models have potential to contribute valuable and detailed knowledge of habitual physical activity for typically developing children with Cerebral Palsy. The main objective the present study was develop validate two models. One trained on data from (n = 63), second also including Palsy 16), engaging in standardised activities free play. Our collected using accelerometers ground truth established video annotations. Additionally, we aimed investigate influence window...
Abstract Background The ageing population has increased the demand for healthcare services. In Norway, community-based long-term care are prioritised, leading to fewer nursing home places. As a result, residents now older and have more complex needs. Nearly 92% of affected by cognitive impairments accompanied neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) that affect their daily activity, physical function, cognition, behaviour. Traditionally, pharmacological therapy been prevailing treatment NPS. However,...
Exergames can be used to train physical and cognitive abilities have been shown effective in reducing the risk of falls older adults. However, there is limited evidence about how people play exergames gameplay affected by game settings and, thus, potential training effects. The aim this study was investigate impact repeated exergaming sessions over 4 weeks two (difficulty level speed) on (performance, activity perceived exertion) adults a four-week intervention.
