Automatic 'Timed-Up and Go' (TUG) test segmentation
The Timed-Up and Go test (TUG) is a well-known medical test that is used as an indicator of mental and physical health. I developed the TUG-Segmenter, an automatic segmentation tool that can divide recorded TUG test data into the six main phases of the test: Sitting, Standing-Up, Walking-Forward, …

Vertical forces on the coupling of a pusher tug-barge
… between a pusher mg-barge unit where the tug is able to pitch relative to the barge. Alternate methods assume that the hydrodynamic forces on each hull have no effect on the other hull. The method presented here assumes that there is a hydrodynamic interaction between the two hulls. A …

Quantifying coordination of human gait : fall risk and effects of aging
… coordination during the timed "Up and Go" (TUG) test of functional movement in an attempt to provide more information regarding the underlying coordination patterns of older adults that might contribute to an increased fall risk. Motion data from fourteen older and fifteen young adults …

AGING-RELATED DECREMENTS DURING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE TIMED UP AND GO TEST WHEN COMBINED WITH MOTOR TASK AND VISUAL STIMULATION
… test of physical function, the Timed Up and Go (TUG), requires the individual to stand from a seated position, walk forward, turn, walk back to the seat, turn and sit back down. Previous studies have explored the effect of multi-tasking during the TUG; however, the role of visual dependence and …

Hip Fractures - Functional assessments and factors influencing in-hospital outcome of patients with hip fracture, a physiotherapeutic perspective
… continuous functional mobility, Timed Up & Go (TUG) test, were evaluated. Furthermore, the focus was on the influence of prefracture function and fracture type in addition to age, gender, mental and health status, on in-hospital performances and discharge destination. The relative intertester …

Gait Disorders in Parkinson's disease: pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches
… at risk of falling. The timed up and go test (TUG) is a widely used clinical test for the evaluation of balance and mobility. An instrumented version of TUG (iTUG) has been proposed to provide quantitative information on TUG performances. Our results suggest different involvement of …

The Biomechanics of Sit-to-Stand and Physical Performance in Patellofemoral Osteoarthritis
… was measured with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and Fifty-Foot Walk (FFW) tests. Perceived functional status, pain, and stiffness were measured using the Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire. Knee pain was measured with a Visual Analog Scale …

Architecting a family of space tugs based on orbital transfer mission scenarios
… type of on-orbit servicer referred to as a space tug as an alternative to redundancy and replacement option. The main objective of a space tug is to prevent satellites from prematurely ending their missions. It was found to be more realistic to design a tug (or tugs) that service groups of …

Feasibility of Microsatellite Active Debris Removal Systems
… concept of operation, utilizing a grapple-and-tug system architecture, and by analyzing each resultant mission phase in the frame of a representative example, it was found that microsatellite scale systems are capable of fulfilling the active debris removal mission. Analysis of rendezvous, …

Analysis of human coordination patterns between a younger and older age group during the timed up and go test
… several trials of a Timed-Up-and-Go test (TUGT), a 10 meter Walk Test (10MWT), and a Standing Balance Test (SBT). This paper specifically analyzed data from seven of the participants when executing the TUG test. The Relative Coordination Metric (RCM) from Hip to Knee and from Knee to Ankle …

Development of a procedure for the selection of candidate vessels of opportunity in support of the submarine rescue diving and recompression system
… for operation on the U.S. Navy's Auxiliary Fleet Tug, T-ATF, but is actually intended to be a fly-away system, capable of being installed on any available VOO near the disabled submarine. The VOO may be any Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV), Anchor Handling Tug, or offshore barge that has the capacity …

Bidirectional transport by molecular motors
… such bidirectional transport is provided by a 'tug-of-war' between the two motor teams which is governed by mechanical motor interactions only. We develop a stochastic tug-of-war model and study it with numerical and analytical calculations. We find a surprisingly complex cooperative motility …

Cooperation And Competition In Paper Wasp And Human Societies
… In chapters 1 and 2, I apply game theoretic "tug-of-war" models of reproductive skew to conflict over resource contribution and division within human groups. In chapter 1, I consider competition over individuals' personal resources. The results of a laboratory economic game support the …

Bidirectional cargo transport by microtubule-based molecular motors
… in vivo, indicating that the motors engage in a tug-of-war. When the complex hits a barrier, the cargo often reverses direction. In some cases, it tries several up-and-back motions, during which time the dynein likely pulls the cargo onto a different protofilament, and is sometimes able to bypass …
