[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between lower extremity muscle thickness and gait ability through the 10-meter walk and timed up and go tests. [Subjects and Methods] A total of 28 children (20 males and 8 females) with spastic cerebral palsy undergoing physical therapy at D hospital in D city, South Korea participated in this study. Partial correlation analysi...

TheGOstats package has extensive facilities for testing the association of Gene Ontology (GO) The Gene Ontology Consortium (2000) terms to genes in a gene list. You can test for both over and under representation of GO terms using either the standard Hypergeometric test or a conditional Hypergeometric test that uses the relationships among the GO terms for conditioning (similar to that presente...

Prevention of falls amongst older people is a high priority in health care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of the Timed Up and Go Test to predict those older people who will fall whilst admitted to an acute hospital. The medical records of 160 older patients who were admitted to the medical ward of a large regional hospital were accessed retrospectively. The Timed Up and Go T...

Objectives: Motor weakness is a notable symptom after stroke. Hence, the aim of this study was to find out the effect of bilateral quadriceps training compared to that of unilateral quadriceps training on balance, functional mobility and functional gait in patients with stroke. Subjects: Male and female hemiparetic patients between 40-60 years of age with post-stroke of 1-6 months were included...

In the advanced research fields of solar cell and energy storing materials, graphene and graphene oxide (GO) are two of the most promising materials due to their high specific surface area, and excellent electrical and physical properties. However, they was seldom studied in the traditional materials because of their high cost. Nowadays, graphene and GO are much cheaper than before with the dev...

Stop-&-Go waves also known as traffic oscillations are the conditions characterized by sudden braking followed by acceleration. This leads to an increase in fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, safety risks increased heart rate and blood pressure level of drivers. It causes discomfort, delays and frustration to the driver thus making them to avoid travelling in such conditions. This paper will test...
