Determinação dos Pontos de Corte para Elevado Risco de Queda e Mobilidade Norma...

Introdução: As quedas são um dos maiores problemas de saúde no idoso, causando elevada mortalidade, morbilidade, incapacidade e institucionalização prematura. A Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale) avalia o equilíbrio num largo espectro de actividades. Foi traduzida e adaptada para diversas línguas e realidades, sendo a sua versão portuguesa, de Portugal, designada como Escala de Confiança n...

Unknown Radial Distortion Centers in Multiple View Geometry Problems

The radial undistortion model proposed by Fitzgibbon and the radial fundamental matrix were early steps to extend classical epipolar geometry to distorted cameras. Later minimal solvers have been proposed to find relative pose and radial distortion, given point correspondences between images. However, a big drawback of all these approaches is that they require the distortion center to be exactly known. In this ...

Validation of the Portuguese Version of the “Activities-specific Balance Confid...

Introduction: many available instruments for the evaluation of balance, fall risk and fear of fallingmeasure simple indoors activities and present a “ceiling effect” in community dwelling elderly. The “ActivitiesspecificBalance Confidence (ABC) Scale” was designed to evaluate balance more thoroughly in several activitiesof daily living with different levels of difficulty.Objectives: translate to Portuguese and ...

FRAX®: measure or trust?

Introduction: FRAXTM (Fracture Risk Assessment Tool) is a tool used to calculate the risk of osteoporotic fracture within the next 10 years, by analyzing certain parameters entered by the clinician. One of these parameters is the Body Mass Index (BMI) and so the measurement of height and weight of the patient is a fundamental procedure as possible influences on the calculated result may affect the therapeutic d...

Evaluation and Modification of the Risk of Falling in the Elderly by Means of C...

Introduction: Falls in the elderly are associated with considerable mortality, morbidity, loss of function and premature institutionalization. They represent the main risk factor for fractures. Exercise programs reduce the risk of falling in the elderly and may be cost-effective. Computerized Dynamic Posturography is a method used in the evaluation of postural control. Although it also allows balance training, ...

Avaliação e modificação do risco de queda em idosos com recurso à posturografia...

RESUMO: Os pontos de corte dos instrumentos de avaliação do equilíbrio são úteis na identificação de idosos ambulatórios na comunidade com elevado risco de queda ou de perda da mobilidade normal. O melhor ponto de corte da Escala CEEA para elevado risco de queda foi de 700 (pontuação total), com uma sensibilidade de 71,8% e uma especificidade de 73,7%. Para mulheres com idade entre 65 e 85 anos, o melhor ponto ...

Bridging books : the printed book as a support for digital experiences

It has been 20 years since Pierre Wellner published the article Interacting with paper on the digital desk [1] where he challenges us to imagine a space where “Instead of replacing paper with computers we could enhance paper with computation”. Two decades after, we see the development of multiple projects that expand the expressive possibilities of traditional books by combining and crossing different media. Ne...

Bridging book : a not-so-electronic children's picturebook

We present and technically describe the implementation of a book prototype: the Bridging Book, a children's mixed-media picturebook that blurs the line between printed and electronic books. Bridging book consists of a printed book and a digital device, placed side-by-side, with synchronized content. Thumbing through the book's pages triggers the device to display the complementary digital content. The physical ...
