To compare the degree of gait symmetry of chronic poststroke fallers with that of nonfallers during level walking using triaxial accelerometry.In this cross-sectional study, a total of 14 patients with chronic stroke were recruited from a community hospital from February 2015 to July 2016. Patient characteristics, including the number of falls in the previous 12 months, were obtained from medic...

Context. Over the last decade a series of results have lent support to the hypothesis of the existence of a long thin bar in the Milky Way with a half-length of 4.5 kpc and a position angle of around 45◦. This is apparently a very different structure from the triaxial bulge of the Galaxy. Aims. In this paper, we analyse the stellar distribution in the inner 4 kpc of the Galaxy to see if there i...

BACKGROUND Different types of devices are available and the choice about which to use depends on various factors: cost, physical characteristics, performance, and the validity and intra- and interinstrument reliability. Given the large number of studies that have used uniaxial or triaxial devices, it is of interest to know whether the different devices give similar information about PA levels a...

this paper studies thoroughly and deeply the results of about one hundred triaxial compression tests on thirty types of rockfill materials. the materials are categorized in accordance with their particles shape (angular / rounded) and gradation characteristics. the main tool of the study is the hyperbolic model developed by duncan and chang. the focus of the study is on the variations of deform...

The study on the failure difference of deep hard rock based comparison between conventional and true triaxial tests can help us better understand fracture processes characteristics mass. Therefore, this article carries out a comparative analysis under stress states. Within scope study, it is found that brittle–ductile transformation properties be intuitively reflected in stress–strain curve mod...
