objectives: balance disorder is one of the most common problems after stroke causes falling and fear of falling in some patients. the balance based video games are newly used in people with motor problems. it is very important to use different interventions for balance issues. the aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of videogame on balance and fear of falling in one participant....

laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. experiments were carried out using mach-zehnder interferometer and the fluent code was used for numerical study. investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

Laminar free convection heat transfer from vertical and inclined arrays of horizontal isothermal cylinders in air was investigated experimentally and numerically. Experiments were carried out using Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the FLUENT code was used for numerical study. Investigation was performed for vertical and horizontal cylinder spacing from 2 to 5 and 0 to 2 cylinder diameters respec...

Background: Fear of falling is common amongst older adults, especially those who live in nursing homes. This study aimed to determinate factors associated with fear of falling and functional independence in older adults living in nursing homes. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study using a convenience sampling method to enroll 200 older adults living in nursing homes from 25 senior cente...

the flow characteristics around an elliptic cylinder with an axis ratio of ar=2 located near a flat plate were investigated experimentally. the elliptic cylinder was located on the inside and outside a turbulent boundary layer region whose thickness (δ) is 0.38b. the reynolds numbers based on the height of the cylinder cross-section were 15000 and 30000. measurements of mean velocity and turbul...

background: in this study we investigated the differences of functional gait and balance measures between patients with chronic stroke with different level of concern about falling. methods: fifty-four patients with chronic stroke participated in this observational, cross-sectional study. the level of concern relating to falls was assessed by using the falls efficacy scale-international. thirty...

background : to the best of the authors’ knowledge, to date, no systematic study has been carried out in tabriz city to investigate the extent, frequency, causes, and major outcome(s) of falling accidents in the houses of rural and urban areas of this city. the current study was, therefore, undertaken to address some of these issues. methods: in this cross-sectional retrospective study, 43170 i...

Classes of vortex formation from a horizontal cylinder adjacent to an undulating free-surface wave are characterized using high-image-density particle image velocimetry. Instantaneous representations of the velocity "eld, streamline topology and vorticity patterns yield insight into the origin of unsteady loading of the cylinder. For su$ciently deep submergence of the cylinder, the orbital natu...

background: fear of falling is not only a risk factor for falls, but it is also an important clinical predictor of functional decline in older adults. this study identified sex differences in fear of falling and related factors in older adults with low grip strength. methods: the data of 902 older adults from the 2012 korean national survey, conducted as a research project by the korea employme...
