the objective of this study was to determine the effects of different heel heights on selected gait parameters in a sample of young nigerian females. a purposive sample of eighty apparently healthy undergraduates of nnamdi azikiwe university, nnewi campus participated in the study. their mean age, height, and weight were 21.98± 1.83 years, 1.65±0.06 meters, 59.50±9.34 kilograms respectively. an...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. methods & materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. a four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. kinematic data coll...

objectives: this study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a modified floor reaction ankle foot orthosis (frafo) design on gait performance in children with cerebral palsy. methods: eight children with cerebral palsy wore a modified frafo bilaterally for six weeks. motion analysis was used to assess the immediate effectiveness of the orthosis on improving gait and also following six w...

recognition of soil water infiltration process is essential for improving irrigation efficiency, decreasing water losses and management of surface runoff. the aim of this research was to evaluate temporal variation of the kostiakove-louise infiltration coefficient parameters during a corn growing season. in this research, 16 irrigation events for 8 large scale furrow experiments were analyzed b...

We develop a generic framework to extend the logics LTL, CTL\(^+\) and CTL\(^*\) by automata-based connectives from formal language classes analyse this with regard regular languages, visibly pushdown languages (deterministic) context-free languages. More precisely, we consider how use of different automata changes expressive power provide algorithms for satisfiability model checking problems i...

This article presents a new feature extraction technique based on the temporal tracking of clusters in spectro-temporal features space. In the proposed method, auditory cortical outputs were clustered. The attributes of speech clusters were extracted as secondary features. However, the shape and position of speech clusters change during the time. The clusters temporally tracked and temporal tra...
