Is grip strength a useful single marker of frailty?
BACKGROUND chronological age is widely used as a marker of frailty in clinical practice. However there can be wide variation in frailty between individuals of a similar age. Grip strength is a powerful predictor of disability, morbidity and mortality which has been used in a number of frailty scores but not as a single marker of frailty. OBJECTIVE to investigate the potential of grip strength...
متن کاملAdaptable, High Performance Energy Harvesters
Energy harvesting has become a very popular research topic over the last 12 years, but has only made an industrial impact in a few areas, noticeably in process plant monitoring, including the water and petrochemical processing industries. Like most technologies, greater adoption needs to be realized if performance is to increase and cost to decrease. Batteries cost only tens of pence per Wh, an...
متن کاملPerformance measures for single-degree-of-freedom energy harvesters under stochastic excitation
We develop performance criteria for the objective comparison of different classes of singledegree-of-freedom oscillators under stochastic excitation. For each family of oscillators, these objective criteria take into account the maximum possible energy harvested for a given response level, which is a quantity that is directly connected to the size of the harvesting configuration. We prove that ...
متن کاملStudy on Pyroelectric Harvesters with Various Geometry
Pyroelectric harvesters convert time-dependent temperature variations into electric current. The appropriate geometry of the pyroelectric cells, coupled with the optimal period of temperature fluctuations, is key to driving the optimal load resistance, which enhances the performance of pyroelectric harvesters. The induced charge increases when the thickness of the pyroelectric cells decreases. ...
متن کاملHuman Grip Responses to Perturbations of Objects During Precision Grip
Grasp stability of a precision grip requires fine control of three-dimensional fingertip forces. This chapter begins with a review of the literature on how precision grip forces are affected by intrinsic object properties, anticipation, load direction, and sensory feedback. Previous studies have established that reactive, initial increases in grip forces (pulse-like ‘‘catch-up responses’’ in gr...
