The social demand not only to educate, but also to classify students according to their qualifications, makes the student assessment one of the most important components of the educational process. Fuzzy logic, due to its nature of characterizing a case with multiple values, offers rich resources for the ssessment purposes. This gave us several times in past the impulse to apply principles of f...

Although the effect of temporal pressure on spatio-temporal aspects of motor coordination and posture is well established in young adults, there is a clear lack of data on elderly subjects. This work examined the aging-related effects of temporal pressure on movement synchronization and dynamic stability. Sixteen young and eleven elderly subjects performed series of simultaneous rapid leg flexi...

OBJECTIVE To observe the differences in performance variables of the sit to stand transfer (as measured on the NeuroCom Balance Master) in a population of senior athletes. METHOD A convenience sample of 173 subjects aged 50 years and older. Data were obtained from voluntary participation in a health fair offered at the annual Huntsman World Senior Games in St George, Utah, USA. All sit to sta...

In posturographic recordings, the center of pressure (COP) displacement does not accurately reflect migration of the gravity line (GL), the vertical line passing through the body's center of gravity, COG. Since the horizontal ground reaction force, Fx, is proportional to the horizontal acceleration of the COG its second integral does represent the horizontal position of the gravity line (GLP). ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The vertical orientation of the body in the upright standing position is maintained by keeping the body's centre of gravity (COG) upright, above the base of support, by a dynamic interplay of visual, vestibular, and somatosensory control systems. The objectives of this study were: to compare the postural control strategy between people with and without low back pain ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Oil pollution has a significant impact on soil properties. There are various physical, chemical, biological, or combination these methods to deal with it. An important challenge in managing oil-contaminated soils is choosing ideal method (s) them. Different have been used for decision-making, but can fuzzy inference engine be environmental decisions? The pres...

Cortical motor mapping in pre-surgical applications can be performed using motor evoked potential (MEP) amplitudes evoked with neuronavigated transcranial magnetic stimulation. The MEP latency, which is a more stable parameter than the MEP amplitude, has not so far been utilized in motor mapping. The latency, however, may provide information about the stress in damaged motor pathways, e.g. comp...

In the paper fuzzy controllers with if ... then type of rules are considered. Each rule can contain linguistic values joint by sentence conjunctions “and”, “or”. Rules are jointed by word “also”. Different mathematical interpretations are used for “and”, “or”, “also” during approximate reasoning. Rules with same consequences can be aggregated in one rule or not aggregated. Moreover, different d...
