Clinical practice guidelines support cognitive rehabilitation for people with a history of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and impairment, but no class I randomized clinical trials have evaluated the efficacy self-administered computerized training. The goal this study was to evaluate plasticity-based training programmes in primarily military/veteran participants mTBI impairment. A multisite double-blind trial behavioural intervention an active control conducted from September 2013...

The purpose of this study was to examine potential differences in body mass index (BMI), relative adiposity (%Fat), and dissatisfaction (BD) between heterosexual (HSW) sexual minority women (SMW). Young adult (n = 84; 23.8% SMW; 21.9 ± 3.8 years) were included our analysis. %Fat assessed using a four-compartment model. BD the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ), subscale Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-BD), appearance evaluation Multidimensional Self-Relations (MBSRQ-AE), Photographic Figure...

Abstract Purpose This study examined the agreement between %Fat measurements using a smartphone‐based application (IMAGE) across different environmental conditions. Methods A single reference image was obtained an 8 MP smartphone camera under Ambient Light in front of white background. Additional photos were 0.7 MP, 5 and 12 cameras; low‐, moderate‐, bright‐lighting conditions; various color backgrounds including black, green, orange, gray. Results measured (27.8 ± 6.2 %Fat) higher than...

Abstract This retrospective study evaluated the frequencies of symptoms associated with autonomic dysfunction in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on stable combined antiretroviral therapy. Patients infected HIV reported higher dysautonomia compared HIV-negative patients, particularly domains related to urinary, sleep, gastroparesis, secretomotor, pupillomotor, and male sexual dysfunction.

ABSTRACT Purpose The purpose of the study was to compare a single two-dimensional image processing system (IMAGE) underwater weighing (UWW) for measuring body volume (BV) and subsequently estimating fat percentage (%Fat), mass (FM), fat-free (FFM) via 3-compartment (3C) model. Methods A sample participants age 18–39 yr recruited this ( n = 67, 47.8% female). BV measured with UWW predicted IMAGE software. estimates from (3C ) were separately combined constant total water values 3C model...

TBI and PTSD occur in a significant number of service members can each result considerable distress cognitive challenges. Past research has established the individual impact mild (mTBI) on performance; however, findings regarding combined effects mTBI performance are inconsistent. The present study examined potentially synergistic symptoms sample 180 treatment-seeking active duty members. As part larger clinical study, participants completed several self-report measures an objective...

The purpose of this study was to examine the agreement between body fat percentage (%Fat) estimates derived from a standardized ultrasound protocol (%FatIASMS ), commonly used skinfold (SKF)-site-based (%FatJP and criterion four-compartment (4C) model (%Fat4C ). For protocols, all measurement sites were marked, measured analyzed by same evaluator. Subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) thickness manually at region where muscle fascia parallel skin average value per site calculate density...

The purpose of this study was to determine if rowing performance associated with fat mass (FM) or fat-free (FFM) measured using a novel 2D digital image analysis system. Nineteen female rowers (ages = 20.3 ± 1.0 years, weight 73.8 8.3 kg, height 172.7 4.7 cm) participated in study. FM and FFM were estimated smartphone application that uses an automated program. Rowing 2 km (2k) timed trial on indoor ergometer. average speed the recorded raw units (m·s−1) adjusted for body (m·s−1·kg−1)....

Evidence-based approaches to cognitive rehabilitation are limited; however, new technologies such as brain-training computer programs provide opportunities for novel interventions.This paper describes a randomized controlled training study in military treatment facility with service members who had combat-related symptoms. It examines challenges design and implementation, provides "lessons learned" proposed solutions.Participants were randomly assigned one of two 6-week computer-based (CBCT)...

Non-exercise (N-EX) questionnaires have been developed to determine maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) in healthy populations. There are limited reliable and validated N-EX for the HIV+ population that provide estimates of habitual physical activity not VO2max.To how well regression equations previously on populations, including prediction VO2max age-predicted heart rates (APMHR), worked an population; develop a specific equation APMHR individuals.Sixty-six participants stable HAART...

The purpose was to examine the association of critical power from a three-minute all-out row (CP3-min) and peak one-stroke maximum test (1-Stroke) with laboratory-based fitness assessments (peak oxygen consumption [V.O2peak] Wingate anaerobic [WAnT]) 6000 m (6K) 2000 (2K) rowing ergometer performance. Thirty-one female collegiate rowers (20.2 ± 1.1 years, 70.9 6.9 kg, 172.2 4.8 cm) participated in performance testing. Pearson's correlations, linear regression, Cohen's q were used determine...

Relative adiposity (%Fat) was measured using a smartphone-based application in convenience sample of adults aged 20–52 years (n = 32, 68.7% female, 84.3% White/Caucasian, 26.7 ± 3.5 kg/m2) across different body positions (Anterior versus Posterior) on consecutive days (Day 1 Day 2). A reference photo obtained from the posterior view (POSTDay1), with an additional anterior (ANTDay1). third 2 (POSTDay2). Potential differences were assessed adjusted alpha level (p < .025). ANTDay1 (26.44...

Program overview of a novel cognitive training platform at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) for service members with subjective complaints: analysis patient participation, satisfaction the program, and perceived areas improvement. Retrospective review 1,030 participants from November 2008 through May 2017. Data were obtained within an approved protocol (WRNMMC-EDO-2017-0004/# 876230). The program has shown growth in numbers referrals, types populations served, visits....

Abstract Date Presented 04/06/19 The focus of the Home for Life Design (HFLD) app-based home assessment is to determine a person’s ability safely complete an occupation in context, and if how environment limits safety. An inter-rater reliability study with OT students (n=32) used online training v.5; ICC between individual raters author was high (.92; 95% CI). These findings contribute evidence that HFLD reliable tool OTs making home-safety recommendations. Primary Author Speaker: Debra...

This study examined the combined effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) history and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms on social functioning in treatment-seeking active duty service members. We sought to determine whether objective cognitive performance, self-reported neurobehavioral symptoms, emotional distress would be associated with more difficulties. Additionally, we hypothesized mediate both relationships between functioning, performance functioning. The was part a larger...
