Mapping Neuromuscular Inputs onto Whole Body Dynamic Stability: an Artificial Neural Network Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
As an intrinsic risk factor contributing to falls, lower extremity (LE) muscle strength is a critical component in limiting an elderly individual’s dynamic stability (Buchner, 1991; Brown, 1995). Improved functioning in activities of daily living and general mobility have been reported as a result of muscle-strengthening regimens (Buchner, 1991), but no evidence has been presented to indicate which strengthening intervention is most effective (Province, 1995; Wolfson, 1996). Furthermore, no models have attempted to link muscular strength directly to dynamic stability.

متن کاملOn the dynamic stability of a flying vehicle under the follower and transversal forces
This paper deals with the problem of the instability regions of a free-free uniform Bernoulli beam consisting of two concentrated masses at the two free ends under the follower and transversal forces as a model for a space structure. The follower force is the model for the propulsion force and the transversal force is the controller force. The main aim of this study is to analyze the effects of...
متن کاملPrediction of the changes in physicochemical properties of key lime juice during IR thermal processing by artificial neural networks
Thermal processing of the key lime juice leads to the inactivation of pectin methylesterase (PME) and the degradation of ascorbic acid (AA). These changes affect directly the cloud stability and color of the juice. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was applied for designing and developing an intelligent system for prediction of the thermal processing effects on the physico...
