Frailty status can be accurately assessed using inertial sensors and the TUG test.
BACKGROUND frailty is an important geriatric syndrome linked to increased mortality, morbidity and falls risk. METHODS a total of 399 community-dwelling older adults were assessed using Fried's frailty phenotype and the timed up and go (TUG) test. Tests were quantified using shank-mounted inertial sensors. We report a regression-based method for assessment of frailty using inertial sensor dat...
متن کاملTUG Test Instrumentation for Parkinson’s disease patients using Inertial Sensors and Dynamic Time Warping
The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a clinical tool widely used to evaluate balance and mobility, e.g. in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This test includes a sequence of functional activities, namely: sit-to-stand, 3-meters walk, 180° turning, walk back, and turn-to-sit. The work introduces a new method to instrument the TUG test using a wearable inertial sensor unit (DynaPort Hybrid, McRoberts B.V., ...

15 صفحه اولCervical mucus status can be accurately estimated by transvaginal ultrasound during fertility evaluation.
Examinations of the cervical mucus for determining its quantity and physical characteristics are used to provide a clinical marker for the timing of ovulation. We propose that transvaginal ultrasound, which is routinely used as a tool for monitoring follicular growth in patients undergoing ovulation induction, might also be used simultaneously for estimating cervical mucus measurements. With no...
