Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the measurements of abdominal aorta width via palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging in healthy individuals. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a measurement difference in abdominal aorta width in healthy individuals as measured by palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging? - Are palpation measurements and point of care ultrasound imaging measurements reliable when performed by physical therapy researchers? Participants will be asked to have their abdominal area be palpated around the umbilicus and will have ultrasound imaging performed over their abdominal aorta area. It is anticipated participation in the study will take less than 15 minutes. Subjects will be asked to return for a repeat visit within 1 month to determine reliability of measurements.
This is a research study evaluating the implementation of a clinic workflow to encourage pre-visit laboratory testing, such as blood work. The purpose of this research is to understand provider and patient satisfaction with clinic workflows to support pre-visit laboratory tests (blood work) for annual physical and wellness visits. Providers and staff at participating sites will be approached to fill out an anonymous survey regarding experiences with implementation of the pre-visit laboratory testing workflow. Additional data from NorthShore's Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) will be collected to assess the pre-lab test rate before implementation, at 6 months, and 12 months, in addition to provider and staff time efficiencies and patient satisfaction as assessed by surveys.
The clinical progress of the patients whose mobilization the investigators follow up with wearable technology products will be observed in the early postoperative period until discharge. In this way, the investigators primarily aim to examine whether the bowel movements of our more mobilized patients return earlier.
The aim of the proposed project is to investigate the reliability, validity, and usefulness of the 30-15 intermittent fitness test in the Slovenian Armed Forces. We will compare the results obtained from a continuous treadmill running test, 2-mile run test, and 30-15IFT.
This study will collect biomedical performance data on walking characteristics in normal, healthy people when walking with walking aids and when walking unaided. Data will be used for independent reporting and for comparison to matched people with pathological conditions. Data collected will including walking ability, balance, force under the feet when walking and muscle strength.
The aim of the research is to evaluate the influence of physical and cognitive load as pre-mission activity on the soldier`s physical and cognitive performance, in compare to physical load alone. In order to do so, 12 healthy subjects will perform stimulated road march using a virtual reality environment combined with cognitive load and without, and their physical and cognitive performance will be evaluated by tests before and after.
