IMPROVING MOBILITY ON THE MEDICAL-SURGICAL UNIT: GET UP AND MOVE
… survey showed, 89% of nursing staff rarely ambulated their patients according to physician's orders compared to 11% of nursing staff who stated that they sometimes ambulate patients according to orders. To mitigate these circumstances, a standard operating procedure (SOP) was created. The …

Frameworks for the design of passive prosthetic knee components using user-centered methods and biomechanics of level-ground walking
… can enable transfemoral (above-knee) amputees to ambulate with minimal gait deviations leading to higher user satisfaction. The goal of developing these frameworks is ultimately to design a low cost, fully passive prosthetic knee device for persons with transfemoral amputations living in the …

A Cross-Content Validation: SOSI-M & BOT-SF
… years old, all genders, English-speaking, ambulate without assistance or use of orthotic devices, and have motor and sensory abilities sufficient in order to complete both motor assessments. Participants will be excluded if they have been administered the BOT-2 assessment within six months …

Retrospective Chart Review of Patients Following Unilateral Total Knee Replacement to Assess Achievement of Functional Milestones Based on Type of Anesthetic Used Intra-Operatively
… milestones, including the ability to transfer, ambulate and perform stairs. The data was analyzed to determine if the various methods of analgesia are associated with improved patient outcomes.</p> <p>RESULTS: A significant statistical difference in LOS (p</p> <p>CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests …

Disparities in Post-Acute Stroke Rehabilitation Utilization
… symptoms (NIHSS 0). Participants unable to ambulate at discharge had more than eight times the odds (OR=8.81) of being referred than those who independently ambulated. Receipt of recommended rehabilitation, however, was low. Only 50 (44%) and 29 (35%) of participants referred for home health …

The influence of two physical activity programs on bone and muscle health in youth with cerebral palsy and other neuromotor impairments.
… greatest impacts in those who do not regularly ambulate. This highlights the importance of tailored physical activity programs based on functional ability during growth and could inform strategies for improving musculoskeletal health in children and youth with CP and CP-like conditions.

An examination of the presence of social work intervention with home health care recipients of related home health care outcomes
… findings indicated that the patient's ability to ambulate independently was a good predictor of his or her ability to remain in the community. They also indicated that the patient's ability to prepare for and plan meals was the only variable to influence the number of days the patient received …

Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Tissue Oxygenation in Awake, Behaving Mice
… in awake, head-fixed mice that were free to ambulate on an air-supported ball treadmill, I observed robust biphasic changes in oxyhemoglobin, deoxyhemoglobin and vascular cell intracellular [Ca2+] in response to prolonged whisker stimulation. The magnitude and kinetics of these changes were …

Lower Extremity Biomechanical Response of Female and Male Post-Mortem Human Surrogates to High-Rate Vertical Loading During Simulated Under-Body Blast Events
… ability of the Warfighter to self-extricate and ambulate in the immediate aftermath of an UBB event. In addition, lower extremity injuries can lead to long term health complications and reduced quality of life (Dischinger et al., 2004). While some comparisons can be drawn from the study of …

A critical evaluation of the impact coaching and mentoring has on the walking spinal community's behavioural change and motivations to being physically active.
… or otherwise referred to as SCI individuals who ambulate. This research, therefore, examines the WSC and their support needs, and the underlying barriers, motivators and influencers to activity, and what can potentially aid recovery and better manage their condition. To help achieve this, the …

Composing motion primitives under disturbances: a switched systems approach
… to dynamically-stable bipedal robots that ambulate through periodic interactions with their environment. The biped is modeled as a system with impulsive effects (SIE), a sub-class of hybrid systems, and the gait is modeled as an exponentially stable periodic limit cycle in the state space …
