Validation of portable 2D force binding systems for cross-country skiing
2013
The aim of the present study was to design, construct and scientifically validate a two-dimensional force measurement binding system for cross-country skiing. The system consists of two force measurement bindings. One binding was designed for analysing classic skiing (vertical and anterior–posterior [along the ski] force components) and the other one for skate (freestyle) skiing (vertical and medio-lateral [transverse to the ski] force components). Validation was accomplished using a three-step process: (1) accuracy tests for the sensors in two temperatures, (2) sport-specific imitation jump test on standard force plates in a laboratory and (3) comparing the system against force measurement…
Satisfied or Frustrated? A Qualitative Analysis of Need Satisfying and Need Frustrating Experiences of Engaging With Digital Health Technology in Chr…
2020
Introduction: Digital health technologies such as self-monitoring devices and apps are becoming increasingly important as tools to promote healthy habits and support individuals in their self-care. There is still a scarcity of research that builds on motivational theory to better understand the functioning of digital health technologies. The self-determination theory (SDT) is a macro theory of motivation that delineates three basic psychological needs that are linked to different types of motivation and lead to well-being when satisfied and illbeing when frustrated. Objective: To explore how the use of a digital tool for self-monitoring and communication with healthcare satisfies or frustra…
Functional evaluation of a “lingual ring” oral device applied on patients affected by temporo-mandibular disorders tmds: A comparative clinical trial
2021
This study aims to evaluate the functional variations of the electromyographic response and clinical symptomatology in TMD patients. This study has been performed and compared before and after the application of a therapeutic protocol based on the use of an oral device working on the proper mandibular repositioning through the proprioceptive-based lingual re-education called “Lingual Ring”. Between January to December 2016, 32 TMD patients have been recruited out of a series of 321 individuals recruited at the Neurosensorial and Motorial Surgery Department, in Palermo (Italy). All the patients underwent the Surface Electromyography (sEMG) of Masseter and Temporal muscles, with different reg…
Validation of 2D Force Measurement Roller Ski and Practical Application.
2022
Several methods could be used to measure the forces from skis or roller skis in cross-country skiing. Equipment that could measure medio-lateral forces may be of good help for investigating the relevant skating techniques. The aim of this study was to validate a pair of newly designed two-dimensional force measurement roller skis. The vertical and medio-lateral forces which were perpendicular to the body of the roller ski could be measured. Forces were resolved into the global coordinate system and compared with the force components measured by a force plate. A static and dynamic loading situation for the force measurement roller ski was performed to reveal the validity of the system. To de…
What Is the Impact of Innovative Electronic Health Interventions in Improving Treatment Adherence in Asthma? The Pediatric Perspective
2019
Suboptimal adherence to treatment is a significant issue in the management of pediatric asthma and is a major cause of uncontrolled disease, life-threatening attacks, and increased utilization of healthcare resources. Electronic health (e-Health) solutions have the potential to positively impact asthma self-management in children and adolescents and their families, thereby improving treatment adherence and asthma outcomes. However, there is a lack of sufficient data to support widespread adoption of e-Health tools in pediatric asthma practice. A critical evaluation of the impact of these new interventions on treatment adherence in childhood asthma must consider unmet needs, heterogeneity of…
Acs zīlītes monitoringa ierīces izveide
2021
Maģistra darbs „Acs zīlītes monitoringa ierīces izveide” uzrakstīts latviešu valodā, datorsalikumā uz 36 lapām. Tas satur 28 attēlus, 3 tabulas un 26 atsauces uz literatūras avotiem. Darba mērķis: Izveidot mobilu acs zīlītes reakcijas analītisko ierīci, kas ieraksta acs zīlītes lieluma izmaiņas dinamikā. Metode: Darbā no komerciāli pieejamām elektronikas komponentēm tika izveidota ierīce – brilles, ar kurām var mērīt zīlītes lieluma izmaiņas nēsāšanas laikā. Secinājumi: Ar pieejamajiem materiāliem un programmēšanas risinājumiem ir iespējams izveidot ierīci zīlītes lieluma monitoringam, bet ir nepieciešama ierīces smalkāka testēšana un kalibrēšana, lai tā būtu pielietojama dinamiskiem mērīju…
