Speed of ascent during stair climbing identifies operable lung resection candidates.
BACKGROUND Preoperative evaluation of lung resection candidates with impaired pulmonary reserves includes measurement of aerobic capacity. Stair climbing is an attractive low-cost alternative to treadmill exercise testing but it lacks standardisation. OBJECTIVES To directly compare stair climbing and treadmill exercise testing with respect to an established cut-off value for lung resection. ...

Their findings,1 coupled with the other reports of the mortality of untreated PE,3–6 would indicate that the mortality of untreated PE is approximately 30%. Given the fact that the mortality of PE in patients treated with heparin and warfarin is 5%,7,8 it is unlikely that there will be additional randomized clinical trials comp...
متن کاملMulti-sensor, high speed autonomous stair climbing
Small, tracked mobile robots designed for general urban mobility have been developed for the purpose of reconnaissance and/or search and rescue missions in buildings and cities. Autonomous stair climbing is a significant capability required for many of these missions. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a new set of estimation and control algorithms that increase the speed...

متن کاملWhole-body angular momentum during stair ascent and descent.
The generation of whole-body angular momentum is essential in many locomotor tasks and must be regulated in order to maintain dynamic balance. However, angular momentum has not been investigated during stair walking, which is an activity that presents a biomechanical challenge for balance-impaired populations. We investigated three-dimensional whole-body angular momentum during stair ascent and...
