Background and purpose: The concept of early mobility of a patient hospitalized in the intensive care unit is a very complex concept that requires interdepartmental coordination, energy expenditure and coordination of all the intensive care unit staff, including doctors, nurses, and physiotherapists. Early mobilization is safe, feasible and associated with positive results for the patient, medi...
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine whether mobility and physical activity were associated with lung function in adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). DESIGN This was a prospective cohort observational study in an urban, academic, specialized care center. Participants were ambulatory, nonhospitalized adults with CF. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Mobility was assessed monthly by the Lif...
Participation in physical activity is fundamental for the maintenance of metabolic health and the prevention of major chronic diseases, particularly type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A whole-of-day approach to physical activity promotion is increasingly advocated and includes not only increasing moderate-intensity physical activity but also reducing sedentary time and increasing light...
BACKGROUND Physical activity is essential for optimal physical and psychological health but substantial declines in children's activity levels have occurred in New Zealand and internationally. Children's independent mobility (i.e., outdoor play and traveling to destinations unsupervised), an integral component of physical activity in childhood, has also declined radically in recent decades. Saf...
In our proposed structure, mobile nodes are organized into nonoverlapping clusters which have adaptive variable-sizes according to their respective mobility. The mobility-based clustering (MBC) approach we are proposing uses a combination of both physical and logical partitions of the network (i.e. geographic proximity and functional relation between nodes, such as mobility pattern etc.) Copyri...
Realistic random mobility models for airborne networks (ANs) are highly desirable to evaluate and design airborne networking. In this paper, we develop a comprehensive modeling framework for ANs, including two 3-D random mobility models and the associated boundary models. These simple random mobility models obey physical laws governing aerial maneuvers, and thus capture the smoothness of aerial...
BACKGROUND The rapid population ageing has been accompanied by a growing number of older adults experiencing chronic conditions, especially diabetes and hypertension, which are conditions associated to the decline in physical functioning. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the strength of the association between mobility and two chronic conditions (hypertension and diabetes) in...
Abstract Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease occuring after middle age. Because of the high mobility of the neck, OA is common in the cervical spine. The purpose of this study was to determine and compare the effects of intermittent traction on patients with mild and moderate cervical OA. Therefore, 32 patients with cervical OA were recruited. Methods: Aclinic...
BACKGROUND Lower extremity physical performance measured at one point in time is a powerful predictor of future disability. Whether information on previous lower extremity performance adds independent information to disability prediction compared to a single measure alone is unknown. METHODS Data are from community-dwelling men and women aged greater than or equal to 65 years enrolled in the ...
Accurate mobility models are needed to simulate the physical movement of nodes in a highly-dynamic aeronautical network. The fundamental problem with many synthetic mobility models is their random, memoryless behavior. Airborne ad hoc networks require a flexible memory-based 3-dimensional mobility model. We present a new 3-dimensional implementation of the Gauss-Markov mobility model for airbor...
