Effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation-a Systematic review and metaanalysis
2017
Systematic reviews of balance control have tended to only focus on the effects of single lower-limb stimulation strategies, and a current limitation is the lack of comparison between different relevant stimulation strategies. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine evidence of effects of different lower-limb sensory stimulation strategies on postural regulation and stability. Moderate- to high-pooled effect sizes (Unbiased (Hedges' g) standardized mean differences (SMD) = 0.31-0.66) were observed with the addition of noise in a Stochastic Resonance Stimulation Strategy (SRSS), in three populations (i.e., healthy young adults, older adults, and individuals with low…
Source shape and data analysis procedure effects on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy-loam soil determined by ponding infiltration runs
2017
Performing ponding infiltration runs with non-circular sources could represent a good means to sample completely an area of interest. Regardless of the shape of the source, predicting the expected reliability of the collected data by infiltrometers should facilitate soil hydraulic characterisation and also allow a more conscious use of the field data. The influence of the shape of the infiltration source (i.e., circular or square) and the analysis procedure of the steady-state infiltration data on the saturated hydraulic conductivity, Ks, of a sandy-loam soil was tested in this investigation. Circular and square surfaces sampled with the pressure infiltrometer (PI) yielded similar estimates…
Optimal Robust Quantum Control by Inverse Geometric Optimization
2020
International audience; We develop an inverse geometric optimization technique that allows the derivation of optimal and robust exact solutions of low-dimension quantum control problems driven by external fields: we determine in the dynamical variable space optimal trajectories constrained to robust solutions by Euler-Lagrange optimization; the control fields are then derived from the obtained robust geodesics and the inverted dynamical equations. We apply this method, referred to as robust inverse optimization (RIO), to design optimal control fields producing a complete or half population transfer and a NOT quantum gate robust with respect to the pulse inhomogeneities. The method is versat…
Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome
2020
Psychomotor disadaptation syndrome (PDS) was first described by the Geriatrics School of Dijon (France), three decades ago, under the name «psychomotor regression syndrome». Over time, the original clinical features remained unchanged. However, progress has been made in its pathophysiology understanding and care, hence the new name, PDS, appeared in the 1990s. The PDS is also called sub-cortico-frontal dysfunction syndrome since the 2000s. It corresponds to a decompensation of posture, gait and psychomotor automatisms, related to an alteration of the postural and motor programming, which is a consequence of sub-cortico-frontal lesions. The clinical features of PDS associate backward disequi…

Evaluation of balance and fall risk in geriatric ward patients.
2021
Background. The physical changes inherent to aging can reduce autonomy and functional independence, which may directly or indirectly lead to falls. Aim of the study. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of falls in patients over 75 years of age. Materials and methods. Fifty elderly patients were examined. The subjects were divided into the three age groups: 75–79, 80–84 and 85–90 years old. The Berg Balance Scale was used to assess the risk of falls related to the balance skills. Results. The average Berg Balance Scale score in the 75–79 age group was 37.6 points; for 80–84, 33.53 points; and for 85–90, 27.81 points. The difference between the youngest and oldest age group was stati…
L’arbitrabilità delle azioni revocatorie e di inefficacia nella prospettiva del Codice della Crisi
2020
Tra i compiti del curatore vi è quello di ricostruire il patrimonio del debitore, al fine di garantire la par condicio creditorum. A questo scopo il curatore può proporre azioni dirette a far dichiarare la inefficacia degli atti compiuti dal debitore. Si tratta di azioni con presupposti ed effetti tra loro diversi; una azione è diretta a far dichiarare la inefficacia ex lege atti compiuti dal debitore; le altre sono lazione revocatoria ordinaria e l’azione revocatoria fallimentare. Per altro verso, il curatore potrebbe essere convenuto in azioni revocatorie dirette a fare dichiarare inefficaci atti di cui ha beneficiato il debitore prima del fallimento o la stessa curatela. In tutte queste …
Azioni revocatorie e arbitrato
