realistic mobility models can demonstrate more precise evaluation results because their parameters are closer to the reality. in this paper a realistic fuzzy mobility model has been proposed. this model has rules which are changeable depending on nodes and environmental conditions. it seems that this model is more complete than other mobility models.after simulation, it was found out that not o...

For years, bed rest and low mobility amongst older, hospitalized patients have attracted researchers’ attention efforts been made to understand how why interventions might work or not. This study explores older medical patients’ experiences with the WALK Copenhagen (WALK-Cph) intervention, which aims at increasing in-hospital during hospitalization more generally. Semi-structured interviews wer...

objectives: wheelchairs are the prime mobility aid of persons with spinal cord injuries. manual wheelchair propulsion puts a lot of demand on the cardiopulmonary as well as the skeletal system. the main purpose of the study was to compare the effects of both arm ergometry training and progressive resistance exercise training of upper limbs on resting heart rate and distance covered during wheel...
