Abstract A balance law for material momentum in shells and plates is proposed. The implications of this the propagation defects, phase transformations, shocks are explored. developments presented using a purely mechanical theory Cosserat (or directed) shell specialized to cases Kirchhoff–Love linearly elastic plate theory. To explore connections literature on delamination adhesion, applied prob...

Objectives: Postural control in elderly people is impaired by degradations of sensory, motor, and higher-level adaptive mechanisms. Here, we characterize the effects of a progressive balance training program on these postural control impairments using a brain network model based on system identification techniques. Methods and Material: We analyzed postural control of 35 healthy elderly subject...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a submaximal level of exercise on balance performance under a variety of conditions. MATERIAL AND METHOD Thirteen community-dwelling older persons with intact foot sensation (age = 66.69 ± 8.17 years, BMI = 24.65 ± 4.08 kg/m(2), female, n = 6) volunteered to participate. Subjects' balance performances were measured using the M...

PURPOSE Brain tumours are the most common solid tumours in children and adolescents. The increasing survival rate of these patients makes their follow-up and quality of life assessment an important task. The evaluation of the negative influence of anti-cancer treatment on their balance is the aim of this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS The balance assessment was performed on patients who complete...

Background The aim of the research was an evaluation of 2 training programs covering the same standard physical activity in the initial stage (warm-up) and the main (motor exercises) as well as a separate end part in Program A of stretching and in Programme B of vibration training designed to improve the level of body balance. Material and Methods We tested 40 randomly chosen students of the Ac...

A redetermination of the constant of gravitation has boon made using the torsion balance in vacuo. The large masses were steel cylinders weighing about 66 kg, and the small masses spheres of gold, platinum, and optical glass final result obtained is 6.670 X10" cm3 g" 1 sec." . While the results obtained appeared to differ slightly with small balls of gold, platinum, or glass, it was shown by a ...

Background and objectives: Aging is a natural phenomenon associated with a decrease in physical fitness factors and increase in chronic pain. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of High Interval Intensity Training (HIIT) and Moderate Intensity Continued Training (MICT) with Citrus Aurantium (CA) consumption on pain threshold and motor balance in elderly rats. Material and Method...

AIM The study aims to trace the influence of specialized kinesitherapeutic methodology (SKTM) on balance reactions in patients with ischemic stroke in the chronic period (ISChP). MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective, multicenter study with 56 patients with ISChP. Evaluation of balance reactions using Berg Balance Scale - BBS, includes implementation of 14 tasks with increasing difficulty reflec...

BACKGROUND One of the effects of diabetes mellitus (DM), peripheral neuropathy, affects the sensation in the feet and can increase the chance of falling. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of Tai Chi (TC) training combined with mental imagery (MI) on improving balance in people with diabetes and an age matched control group. MATERIAL AND METHODS Seventeen health...
