Necessary and sufficient conditions for a GADL to become an ADL are obtained interms of congruence relations and proved that every associative GADL is an ADL.

OBJECTIVE Occupational therapists often base estimates of home safety on their behavioral observations of a client performing functional activities during a hospitalization. To examine this practice, this study investigated the predictive validity of the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) to the overall home safety of persons with psychiatric conditions associated with cognitive impa...

AIM Functional capacity and dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) could be important mediators for an association between physical exercise and mental health. The aim of this study was to investigate whether a change in functional capacity or dependency in ADL is associated with a change in depressive symptoms and psychological well-being among older people living in residential care f...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the hypothesis that EEG values match other comprehensive activities of daily living (ADL) evaluations between stroke survivors and normal controls. Various functions related to ADL were examined by means of ADL assessments (Measurement of Competence in the Elderly Living at Home, Barthel Index, Stroke Impairment Assessment Set, time needed to walk 10...

BACKGROUND Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) face evident motor difficulties in daily functioning. Little is known, however, about their difficulties in specific activities of daily living (ADL). OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate differences between children with DCD and their peers with typical development for ADL performance, learning, and p...

This paper identifies the foundations for an architectural description language (ADL) to specify multi-agent system architectures for information systems. We propose a set of system architectural concepts based on the BDI agent model and existing classical ADLs. We then conceptualize SKwyRL-ADL, aimed at capturing a “core” set of structural and behavioral concepts, including relationships that ...

background and aims: to evaluate the effect of temperature on wheat streak mosaic virus (wsmv) resistance phenotype, through total protein, phenol, and peroxidase activity in bread wheat, a factorial experiment was conducted using adl-cross (resistant) and marvdasht (susceptible) cultivars. materials and methods: results showed that incubation at 32c changed the gene expression for resistance ...

The physical housing environment is important to facilitate activities of daily living (ADL) for older people. A hindering environment may lead to ADL dependence and thus increase the need for home services, which is individually restricting and a growing societal burden. This study presents simulations of policy changes with regard to housing accessibility that estimates the potential impact s...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Knowledge about robust and unbiased factors that predict outcome of activities of daily living (ADL) is paramount in stroke management. This review investigates the methodological quality of prognostic studies in the early poststroke phase for final ADL to identify variables that are predictive or not predictive for outcome of ADL after stroke. METHODS PubMed, Ebsco/Cin...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to examine baseline differences and annualized cognitive and functional change scores in mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients with and without impaired activities of daily living (ADL). METHODS We recruited 267 mild probable AD patients with at least 1 year of follow-up (NINCDS-ADRDA criteria, MMSE>or=20). Based on initial ADL scores, they were divide...
