Filter by:The investigators previously developed a virtual 14-day dual-task walking exercise program and tested its feasibility with individuals with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) history. The investigators will test the feasibility and efficacy of a mobile app-version (Uplode) of the same 14-day exercise program (Brain & Walk Exercise Every Day [BraW-Day]), on cognition, sensorimotor, and other functions in a group of voluntary young adults with an mTBI between last three months to two years, including student athletes, Veterans, and ethnic minorities.
The biomechanical parameters studied in non-specific chronic low back pain patients in a locomotion task have so far focused on straight line walking. Although locomotion is primarily an automated action composed of repetitive patterns allowing movement from one place to another, walkers must respond to the environmental demands.These modifications show a flexible and adaptive approach to the constraints of the environment. In this study, the investigators are particularly interested in a task of crossing between two pedestrians, which is a standardised task that has shown its interest in the study of perceptual-motor co-ordination. In particular, it allows to study the mutual adaptation of speed and orientation between the two walkers.
The purpose of this study is to know the effectiveness of different robotic devices for gait rehabilitation in stroke patients
The investigators aim to use a repeated measures observational study utilising a battery of multimodal assessment tools (e.g., 3D motion capture, wearable technology) in order to validate the DANU Sports Socks. The investigators aim to recruit 40 recreational runners (male and female) from the North East of England. The multimodal battery assessment used in this study will compare metrics between gold-standard traditional assessment methods and more novel wearable technology methods. Following assessment of the validity and reliability of the DANU Sports Socks, the investigators will use the multi-modal sensor to quantify changes in running gait that may occur with injury, fatigue or performance level will permit quantification of running demands in a runner's natural environment, thereby providing insight into injury mechanisms and objective explanations for performance outcomes.
A total of 240 hypertensive subjects aged 40-69 years (including 126 patients complicated with diabetes) will be included in a few communities in Beijing, and will be divided into 3 groups according to the individual wishes of the subjects: walking group(n=80, including 42 patients complicated with diabetes), Chinese square dancing group(n=80, including 42 patients complicated with diabetes) and control group(n=80, including 42 patients complicated with diabetes). All exercise sessions will be supervised and subject's exercise implementation process will be managed with intelligent equipment. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of different training programs in the real world. The demographics data, physical activity questionnaires, blood pressure, blood glucose, blood lipids, height, weight and physical fitness （cardiorespiratory fitness,muscle strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, body composition)will be measured before and after 3-month exercise training .The adverse reactions in the implementation of the interventions will be recorded. The primary outcomes are blood pressure and blood glucose.
The purpose of this study is to measure and link cadence (number of steps taken in a minute) to intensity of physical activity (e.g., low-intensity, moderate intensity, vigorous-intensity) in adults (40- 65 years-old) with type 2 diabetes.
The investigator(neurologist) has published a study in International Congress Series, in the 15th International Conference of Biomagnetism Vancouver Proceedings 2006,and Science Direct website, of 15 patients with brain ischemia and dilated ventricles who improve when treated with transcranial monitoring or low ultrasound wave intensity (milliwatts) and with rapid magnetic stimulation which is also a diagnostic tool routinely used by many neurophysiologists. Before, these patients will progress and may need a brain shunt called Ventriculo-peritoneal shunt. He and collaborators now would like to do a double study as this appears to be a cheap and effective alternative treatment and help patients to walk again.
