Purpose: Stroke is one of leading causes of neuromuscular disorders that affects the patients’ abilities during standing and walking. Various treatments have been used to restore and improve patients’ stability and reduce falling risks. This study aimed to assess the effect of Kinesio taping on dynamic balance and spasticity in subjects with stroke disorder. Methods: This project w...

We study hedonic coalition formation games in which cooperation among the players is restricted by a graph structure: a subset of players can form a coalition if and only if they are connected in the given graph. We investigate the complexity of finding stable outcomes in such games, for several notions of stability. In particular, we provide an efficient algorithm that finds an individually st...

Multimodal visual haptic user interfaces can be made more effective by accurately colocating the workspaces of their components. We have developed a coregistration technique for pose measurement devices based on nonlinear least squares parameter estimation. A reduced quaternion parameterization is used for representing the orientation component of coordinate transformations, which avoids the nu...

Two‐wheeled mobile robots (TWMRs) have a capability of avoiding the tip‐over problem on inclined terrain by adjusting the centre of mass position of the robot body. The effects of terrain inclination on the robot performance are studied to exploit this capability. Prior to the real‐time implementation of position control, an estimation of the stability region ...

prevalence of coagulopathies (n=6010) including factor viii deficient (haemophilia a) individuals (n=3205) were investigated and analysed in 24 provinces of iran. for all coagulopathies, the prevalence (per 100,000) was the highest with 24.45 in semnan (north east of iran), followed by hamadan (west) with 17.56, the lowest was observed in kordestan (west) as 0.88, followed by kohkiluyeh & boyr-...

One of the factors which influence individual's decision for presence or absence in the labor force is their personal features. In order to take appropriate policies to create employment and remove its obstacles in the countries labor market, we need to know the factors mentioned above and determine the amount and direction in which each factor influences the probability of individual's presenc...

BACKGROUND How does the brain estimate object stability? Objects fall over when the gravity-projected centre-of-mass lies outside the point or area of support. To estimate an object's stability visually, the brain must integrate information across the shape and compare its orientation to gravity. When observers lie on their sides, gravity is perceived as tilted toward body orientation, consiste...

A comparative study of the robustness of various spacecraft body at t i tude control systems with structural flexibility is presented in this paper. The control systems examined are: (a) 3-Reaction Wheels (b) Body-fixed momentum wheel with offset thrusters (c) Skewed body-fixed momentum wheels with offset thrusters and (d) Body-fixed momentum wheel with two reaction wheels. For the size of larg...
