The primary purpose of this study was to examine the use and documentation of herbal remedies used by Hispanic women with Type II diabetes enrolled in two Community Health Centers in the Southwest USA. A secondary purpose was to review... more
... The sensor uses the magnetoresistive effect, which corresponds to a change of resistance under a magnetic induction.18 Magnetor-esistors, which detect the earth's magnetic field, are used to measure rotations with respect to the... more
... I can be performed through an efficient, computationally fast algorithm that require only order N operations, called the fast DWl' [8). b. The thresholding rule T: The classical rules for applying the threshold to wavelet... more
Footwear is supposed to have influence on postural control and is a potential aspect to address in the prevention of falls in the elderly. This study aimed to show whether measurements of static balance and gait are different with... more
In this study we describe an ambulatory system for estimation of spatio-temporal parameters during long periods of walking. This original method based on wavelet analysis is proposed to compute the values of temporal gait parameters from... more
A new method of physical activity monitoring is presented, which is able to detect body postures (sitting, standing and lying) and walking period in the elderly from only one kinematic sensor attached to the chest. Wavelet analysis in... more
