BACKGROUND Over the last decade, a growing body of studies regarding the application of eHealth and various digital interventions has been published and are widely used in the psycho-oncological care. However, the effectiveness of eHealth applications in psycho-oncological care is still questioned due to missing considerations regarding evidence-based studies on the demands and needs in cancer-...

PURPOSE To develop and evaluate an expanded version of the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale allowing for evaluation of ambulatory SMA patients. PROCEDURES Thirty-eight patients with SMA type II or III were evaluated using the Gross Motor Function Measure and the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale. Based on statistical and clinical criteria, we selected 13 Gross Motor Function Measure items ...

The need for simulation of human foot mechanism has made researchers and engineers move towards different patterns to describe this movement. In this regard, optimal solutions such as energy consumption, accuracy, etc. are of utmost importance. In this paper, efforts have been made to present a new solution by designing a fully two-dimensional six-bar mechanism with one degree of freedom so tha...

This paper proposes a new sliding mode control (SMC)  based model reference adaptive system (MRAS) for sensorless indirect field oriented control (IFOC) of a single-sided linear induction motor (SLIM). The operation of MRAS speed estimators dramatically depends on adaptation mechanism. Fixed-gain PI controller is conventionally used for this purpose which may fail to estimate the speed correctl...
