The aim of this study was to examine the acquisition sufficiency physical education lesson goals with help Eurofit Test Battery. included 41 students moderate and severe intellectual disability (ID) (9 female, 32 male 29 mentally retarded, 6 down syndrome (DS) 5 autism) who were studying at Recep Birsin Özen Special Education School in Erzurum Turkey. Physical lessons conducted an hour for a da...

I examined the effect of the working memory capacity (WMC) of older adult participants on tasks using touch interfaces, by using an extreme-groups design. Older participants (N = 100) completed a single tapping task and verbal, numerical, and spatial WMC tasks. To test whether the response time in the single tapping task differed as a result of the WMC, I performed a 2 x 2 Analyses of Variance ...

OBJECTIVE The diagnosis of shunt malfunction can be challenging since neuroimaging results are not always correlated with clinical outcomes. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a simple, minimally invasive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lumbar tapping test that predicts shunt under-drainage in hydrocephalus patients. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical and radiol...

BACKGROUND Screw length pertains to stability in various orthopedic fixation devices. There is little or no information on the relationship between plate pullout strength and screw length in anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) plate constructs in the literature. Such a description may prove useful, especially in the treatment of osteoporotic patients where maximizing construct stability is ...

Linear experimental designs have dominated the field of functional neuroimaging, but although successful at mapping regions of relative brain activation, the technique assumes that both cognition and brain activation are linear processes. To test these assumptions, we performed a continuous functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) experiment of finger opposition. Subjects performed a visuall...

OBJECTIVE The main goal of this work is to evaluate the validity of the finger tapping test (FT) to detect alterations in rhythm formation. METHODS We use FT to study the alterations in motor rhythm in three different groups: Parkinson's patients, elderly healthy controls, and young healthy control subjects (HY). The test was performed in COMFORT and FAST tapping modes and repeated on two dif...

We observe powder "droplets" forming when tapping repeatedly a horizontal flat plate initially covered with a monolayer of fine powder particles. Starting from a simple model involving both the air flow through the porous cake and avalanche properties, we set up an analytical model which satisfactorily fits the experimental results. We observe a close analogy between the governing equations of ...
