Development of a rocking chair for use by children with spinal cord injuries.

Published in Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology

Rocking in a rocking chair promotes carryover of gained trunk control capacity, from clinic to home in a population that is non-ambulatory.Rocking provides opportunity for self-practice in population with severely compromised capacity.Rocking is a movement that may be performed when other types of movement cannot be readily performed, e.g., resista...

Go Zika Go: feasibility study with modified motorized ride-on cars for the mobility of children with Congenital Zika Syn...

Published in Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology

Motorized mobility for children with Congenital Zika Syndrome and severe physical and cognitive disabilities is feasible and can encourage future interventions focused on activities and participation.This research contributes to the understanding of the potential changes that motorized mobility can have on goal attainment, satisfaction, and learnin...

The Effects of Running Foot Strike Manipulation on Pelvic Floor Muscle Activity in Healthy Nulliparous Females.

Published in Journal of applied biomechanics

Vertical loading rate (VLR) and pelvic floor muscle activity (PFA) increase with running velocity, which may indicate a relationship between VLR and PFA. Foot strike pattern has been shown to influence VLR while running, but little is known about its influence on PFA. Twenty healthy women ran on a treadmill for 2 conditions: with a rearfoot strike ...

Effects of different training methods in tele-exercise on acute performance decrement in adults with disability and whee...

Published in Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology

Synchronous moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT), sprint interval training (SIT) and high-intensity interval training tele-exercises provided similar acute performance decrement in wheelchair users and people with disabilities.High-intensity interval training showed a higher training load compared to MICT and SIT performed remotely.Acute p...

Feasibility of the Glittre-ADL test in the preoperative period of thoracic surgery.

Published in Physiotherapy theory and practice

The Glittre-ADL test (TGlittre) broadly meets the need for an objective evaluation of physical function, using similar activities to those of daily living. To assess whether TGlittre in the preoperative assessment of patients who are candidates for thoracic surgery is associated with measures of pulmonary function, body balance, and quality of life...
