This paper reports an empirical study that used computer science major students as experimental subjects to evaluate the productivity and the reproducibility of RmFFP. This is a functional size measurement procedure designed according to the COSMIC-FFP method for object-oriented systems that are specified using the OO-Method approach. The results show that the productivity of RmFFP is acceptabl...

After an initial functional analysis of a participant's aggression showed unclear outcomes, we conducted preference and reinforcer assessments to identify preferred forms of attention that may maintain problem behavior. Next, we conducted an extended functional analysis that included a modified attention condition. Results showed that the participant's aggression was maintained by access to pre...

Clinical assessments of brain function rely upon visual inspection of electroencephalographic waveform abnormalities in tandem with functional magnetic resonance imaging. However, no current technology proffers in vivo assessments of activity at synapses, receptors and ion-channels, the basis of neuronal communication. Using dynamic causal modeling we compared electrophysiological responses fro...

the dysesthesia and paresthesia that occurs in laboratory rats after spinal cord injury (sci) results in autophagia. this self-destructive behavior interferes with functional assessments in designed studies and jeopardizes the health of the injured rat. in this study, we evaluated role of saturated picric acid in the prevention of autophagia and self-mutilation. all rats were anesthetized with ...

Abstract Date Presented 04/01/2022 Functional impairments after stroke are heterogeneous. Standardized clinical assessments may not effectively capture the different functional subgroups of individuals stroke. Using latent class analysis, five were identified within a sample hospitalized for ischemic The following outcomes varied across subgroups: OT utilization, physical therapy and discharge ...

OBJECTIVES Relatively little is known about the treatment effectiveness and functional outcomes of pediatric rehabilitation therapies. This study was conducted to gain knowledge of the type and quantity of inpatient rehabilitation services provided to children who received acute inpatient rehabilitation and compare functional gains by age and diagnosis. METHOD A retrospective cohort design wa...

A continuous monitoring of the physical strength and mobility elderly people is important for maintaining their health treating diseases at an early stage. However, frequent screenings by physicians are exceeding logistic capacities. An alternate approach automatic unobtrusive collection functional measures ambient sensors. In current publication, we show correlation among data motion sensors w...

objectives: ankle foot orthoses (afos) are widely utilized to improve walking ability in hemiplegic patients. the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of rocker bar ankle foot orthosis (rafo) on functional mobility in post-stroke hemiplegic patients. methods: fifteen hemiplegic patients (men and women) who were at least 6-months poststroke and able to walk without an assistive device for ...
