Perceived challenge of walking is a broad term that we use to encompass walking-related anxiety, balance self-efficacy/confidence, and fear of falling.Evidence shows that even after accounting for physical performance capabilities, a higher perceived challenge can cause individuals to self-impose restrictions in walking-related activities.Perceived
In this paper, we present motion analysis and prototype design of a new omni-directional wheel mechanism "ACROBAT-S".The authors group has proposed a special kind of transmission with a dual-ball configuration for transmit drive powers to wheel shaft and steering shaft of an active-caster mechanism (ACROBAT).In the transmission design, tw
Abstract Introduction The objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) with standardized patients is commonly accepted as a reliable assessment of clinical skills.Simulation allows learners the opportunity to experience conditions and perform procedures in a safe, standardized environment.This OSCE case incorporates both the standardized patien
There is a growing interest to increase the grid integration of large-scale wind power farms (WPF).As most WPFs are located in remote areas where abundant wind resources are available, these sites are lacking communication infrastructures and network coverage which present major obstacles COLLAGEN MUSCLE TONE in enabling reliable data transmission
The transcriptome of pulmonary hypertension (PH) is complex and highly genetically heterogeneous, with noncoding Rice Paddles RNA transcripts playing crucial roles.The majority of RNAs in the noncoding transcriptome are long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) with less circular RNAs (circRNAs), which are two characteristics gaining increasing attention in th
