Data logger technologies for manual wheelchairs: A scoping review

Berberis vulgaris for cardiovascular disorders: a scoping literature review

Cardiovascular disorders are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Berberis vulgaris (B. vulgaris) is a commonly used plant in traditional medicine. In recent studies, B. vulgaris showed antiarrhythmic, antihypertensive, anticholinergic, and cardioprotective effects. We reviewed the literature to explore the possible prophylactic and therapeutic roles of B. vulgaris in cardiovascular medici...

Curb descent testing of suspension manual wheelchairs.

Manual wheelchair users are subjected to whole-body vibrations (WBV) on a regular basis as they traverse obstacles and uneven surfaces. One way users could protect themselves from secondary injuries related to WBV is by using a suspension manual wheelchair. This study investigated the ability of suspension manual wheelchairs to reduce seat accelerations during curb descents of various heights (...

A Data Logger for Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are often used to monitor environmental data because of their low cost. However, writing applications for such a technology requires not trivial programming skills. Moreover it is not easy to find available general purpose tools that can be used to perform a monitoring task with a WSN because usually such tools are focused on a specific application scenario. In th...

Smart Wheelchairs - A literature review

This article presents a summary of current state of smart wheelchairs. An assistive technology known as wheelchair is used to deal with loss of mobility for the patients who are not able to walk normally due to some injury or some other age related walking disabilities (permanent or under treatment). There is a vast development in the field of wheelchairs. Researchers are going on to develop re...
