OBJECTIVE This study aims to present normative data for Fuld Object Memory Evaluation test stratified by sex, gender, age, and education for the Brazilian elderly population. METHOD We evaluated 2.132 healthy elderly both genders, with a mean age of 70.30 years (± 7.28) from two community-based samples in Brazil drawn from different economic areas who were screened with cognitive and function...

Multi-modal test execution allows execution of the same test against various layers of a software system, e.g. the GUI layer, the web service layer and the business logic layer. Multi-modal test execution helps with identifying the location of software bugs during debugging and maintenance as well as in tracking the progress of the development effort. This paper presents a method that effective...

Abstract Background: Despite the importance of functional-performance deficits in athletes with history of ankle sprain few, studies have been carried out in this area. The aim of this research was to study relationship between previous ankle sprains and functional-performance deficits in athletes. Materials and methods: The subjects were 40 professional athletes selected through random sampl...

Ambulatory children and youth with cerebral palsy have limitations in locomotor capacities and in community mobility. The ability of three locomotor tests to predict community mobility in this population (N = 49, 27 boys, 6-16 years old) was examined. The tests were a level ground walking test, the 6-min-Walk-Test (6MWT), and two tests of advanced locomotor capacities, the 10-meter-Shuttle-Run-...

Two statistical tests for detecting activated pixels in functional MRI (fMRI) data are presented. The first test (t-test) is the optimal solution to the problem of detecting a known activation signal in Gaussian white noise. The results of this test are shown to be equivalent to the cross-correlation method that is widely used for activation detection in fMRI. The second test (F test) is the op...

The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test is typically called upon when testing whether a symmetric distribution has a specified centre and the Gaussianity is in question. As with all insurance policies it comes with a cost, even if small, in terms of power versus a t-test, when the distribution is indeed Gaussian. In this note we further show that even when the distribution tested is Gaussian there need n...

objectives: falling in the elderly is common and dynamic balance has direct effect abstract  on it. therefore, we decided to study the effect of functional training on dynamic balance in healthy elderly women. methods & materials: thirty healthy elderly women were purposefully selected as subjects and then randomly divided into two equal groups (control and experimental groups). the dynamic bal...

The Test-Duo framework is proposed for automating the task of generating functional test cases for execution on an automatic testing platform. With Test-Duo, the tester focuses on the tasks of refining and annotating use cases and preparing test data sets with tool support, leaving the tasks of generating the actual test cases and marshaling their execution to Test-Duo. The generated test cases...
