Assessment of aerobic capacity and walking economy of transfemoral amputees
(Prosthetics and orthotics international;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-06-24)Background: Studies of the maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) of transfemoral amputees have mostly used protocols that activate a relatively small muscle mass. Consequently, transfemoral amputee VO2max may be systematically ... -
Distinctions between self-report and performance-based measures of physical function in older patients prior to chemotherapy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Background The maintenance of physical function (PF) is an extremely important outcome for elderly people. Objective The aims of this study were to identify differences in the subjective and objective measures of ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees during floor and treadmill walking with different speeds
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background: Walking energy expenditure, calculated as the percent utilization of the maximal aerobic capacity, is little investigated in transfemoral amputees. Objectives: Compare the energy expenditure of healthy ... -
Energy expenditure of transfemoral amputees walking on a horizontal and tilted treadmill simulating different outdoor walking conditions
(Prosthetics and Orthotics International;34 (2), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-06)Background and aim: Transfemoral amputees often report that walking on tilted pavements or in terrain with the prosthesis on the highest side is quite strenuous. This study investigates the energy expenditure of transfemoral ... -
An evaluation of two different exercise regimes during the first year following stroke : A randomised controlled trial.
(Physiotherapy Theory and Practice;25,(2), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009-02-01)Objective: To evaluate effects of two exercise approaches during the first year after stroke on instrumental activities of daily living (IADL), gait performance, balance, grip strength and muscle tone and to investigate ... -
The importance of parkinsonian signs for gait and balance in patients with Alzheimer's disease of mild degree.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Parkinsonian signs are common in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) of mild degree and predict functional decline, but their relationship with gait speed and balance is unclear. The aims of this study were to describe ... -
Improving gait after stroke – treadmill or walking; quantity or quality
(Journal of CyberTherapy & Rehabilitation;2,(3), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)The main aim with he present study was to evaluate treadmill training versus walking outdoor in order to improve quality aspects like step length, step width, cadence and quantitative aspects like endurance, walking speed ... -
Using Type-2 Fuzzy Models to Detect Fall Incidents and Abnormal Gaits Among Elderly
(Proceedings of System, Man and Cybernetics Conference SMC;2013, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2013)— June 2012, 11% of the overall population in Taiwan was over the age of 65. This ratio is higher than the average figure for the United Nations (8%) . Critical issues concerning elderly in healthcare include fall ...
