Research of the BWS system for lower extremity rehabilitation robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Body weight support (BWS) system is increasingly used in conjunction with treadmills to assist the patients with neurological impairments. Owing to lower limbs of the patients unable to bear the whole weight during the rehabilitation training, some w...

Applying fuzzy logic to estimate the parameters of the length-weight relationship.

Brazilian journal of biology = Revista brasleira de biologia
We evaluated three mathematical procedures to estimate the parameters of the relationship between weight and length for Cichla monoculus: least squares ordinary regression on log-transformed data, non-linear estimation using raw data and a mix of mul...

[Anti-aging Effect of Urtica Polysaccharides in D-galactose Induced Aging Mice].

Zhong yao cai = Zhongyaocai = Journal of Chinese medicinal materials
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the anti-aging effect of polysaccharides from Urtica lobatifolia (Urtica polysaccharides) on subacute aging mice induced by D-galactose.

Correlation of Brain Neuropeptide (Nesfatin-1 and Orexin-A) Concentrations with Anthropometric and Biochemical Parameters in Malnourished Children.

Journal of clinical research in pediatric endocrinology
OBJECTIVE: Malnutrition continues to be a leading cause of stunted growth in many countries. This study aimed to investigate serum nesfatin-1 and orexin-A levels in underweight children and the potential correlations of these levels with anthropometr...

Physicochemical properties and biological evaluation of Yoyo bitters.

African journal of medicine and medical sciences
BACKGROUND: The current widespread distribution and use of Yoyo bitters; an herbal bitters made in Nigeria calls for an assessment of its content, efficacy and extent to which this product achieves the labelled claim of being an herbal cleanser.

Shifting the balance of human standing: Inter-limb coordination for the control of a robotic balance simulation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Learning to maintain standing balance in the presence of a paretic limb is an important recovery process for many stroke survivors. In this study, we used a robotic balance simulator to investigate whether manipulating medial-lateral or anterior-post...

Body weight support during robot-assisted walking: influence on the trunk and pelvis kinematics.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Efficacy studies concerning robot assisted gait rehabilitation showed limited clinical benefits. A changed kinematic pattern might be responsible for this. Little is known about the kinematics of the trunk and pelvis during robot assisted...
