A Real-time Treadmill Speed Control Algorithm (RTSCA) has been developed for gait rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy (CP). The objective of the work described in this paper was to investigate the feasibility of the RTSCA prior to use by children with CP. Thirteen healthy subjects aged between 19 and 25 were recruited to walk on the treadmill using conventional speed buttons without ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of continuous acupressure at P6 applied by Sea-Bands with acupressure buttons on the frequency and severity of nausea and vomiting of pregnancy during the 1 st trimester. DESIGN A two-group, quasi-experimental, posttest-only and posttest-repeated measure. SETTING Seventeen medical clinics or offices in southern Michigan. PARTICIPANTS Convenience sample of...

For a highly relativistic charged beam, the Lorentz contraction compresses the electromagnetic field of the beam into the 2-D transverse plane. This results in the induced currents on the beam chamber wall having the same longitudinal intensity modulation as the charged beam. When the wavelength of the beam intensity modulation is large compared to the dimensions of the button electrodes, which...

AIM To study the value of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis, to detect viral DNA in recipient corneal buttons taken at the time of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) in patients with an initial diagnosis of herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK). Since HSK has a tendency to recur, an accurate diagnosis of previous HSK could be the reason to start antiviral treatment immediately, thereby possibly d...

The objective of our study is to review the basic concepts and the implementations of an interface of a health information system [1] for handling information within a hospital. The realization of the graphical interface is one of the points requiring most of the time in the development of a computer application. To make the use of the application easy, pleasant, and adaptable to the user's rol...

This paper investigates the usability of touch screens used in mass production road vehicles. Our goal is to provide a detailed comparison conventional physical buttons and capacitive taking human factor into account. The pilot test focuses on specific Non-driving Related Task (NDRT): control on-board climate system using screen panel versus rotating knobs push buttons. Psychological parameters...
