This article presents a control scheme in the stationary reference frame for static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs) that provide three features: 1) regulation of positive-sequence voltage to nominal value; 2) full cancellation negative-sequence voltage; and 3) peak limitation injected currents. These features can help improve performance these devices under perturbed grid conditions, includ...

Purpose: We identified evidence evaluating the effect of exercise on functional mobility in adults (aged 18 y or older) with cerebral palsy (CP). Method: An exhaustive search was conducted using the electronic databases PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews from the earliest available evidence (1975) to the present (January 2016) for studies...

The identification of quantitative tools to assess an individual's mobility limitation is a complex and challenging task. Several motor tasks have been designated as potential indicators of mobility limitation. In this study, a multiple motor task obtained by sequencing sit-to-stand and upright posture was used. Algorithms based on data obtained exclusively from a single force platform were dev...

BACKGROUND Many ethnic minority populations have poorer health than the general population. However, there is limited knowledge on the possible ethnic gap in physical mobility. We aim to examine the prevalence of mobility limitations in working-age Russian, Somali and Kurdish origin migrants in comparison to the general population in Finland. We also determine whether the association between et...

Social inequalities in health and disability are often attributed to differences in childhood adversity, access to care, health behavior, residential environments, stress, and the psychosocial aspects of work environments. Yet, disadvantaged people are also more likely to hold jobs requiring heavy physical labor, repetitive movement, ergonomic strain, and safety hazards. We investigate the role...

OBJECTIVE To summarize and critically appraise the evidence related to power mobility use in children (18 years or younger) with mobility limitations. DATA SOURCES Searches were performed in 12 electronic databases along with hand searching for articles published in English to September 2012 and updated February 2014. REVIEW METHODS The search was restricted to quantitative studies includin...

PURPOSE Disability is conceptualized as behaviour by psychological theory and as a result of bodily impairment by medical models. However, how people with disabilities conceptualize those disabilities is unclear. The purpose of this study was to examine disability representations in people with mobility disabilities. METHOD Thirteen people with mobility disabilities completed personal reperto...
