Acoustic Detection of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip in Models Representing NeonatesRaodeo, Pinak 01 January 2021 (has links)
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition that involves the dislocation of the head of the femur in the acetabulum of the pelvic bone. Although it may not interfere with a child's range of motion during infancy, DDH can cause various effects over time such as joint pain, abnormal gait, and even paralysis. It is crucial to catch this phenomenon early on so that permanent disability is not introduced to the patient. In this study, an excitation device was used to send a broadband frequency signal through a hip joint simulated by a 3D printed bone apparatus consisting of a left femur and left pelvic bone. Accelerometers were used to sense the transmission of this signal through the bones tested. Variability was induced through different experiments in order to determine where the optimal frequency for detection of DDH would be. After variability was quantified for all of the nonconsecutive and consecutive trials, the excitation device was tested on a raw chicken quarter through the knee joint since this was very similar to the hip joint. Coherence, phase, and transfer function graphs were used to demonstrate the degree of variability, optimal frequencies for detection, and degree of signal transmission through the joints tested. The results from the 3D printed bone model showed that the height of accelerometer suspension, loosened coupling of sensors, and vertical alignment of the bone model apparatus affected the transfer function and phase graphs of the experiments while coherence stayed relatively the same. On the other hand, the results from the raw chicken model displayed similarities between graphs for little to no joint dislocation but the complete dislocation of the bone yielded significantly different graphs.

Treinamento de profissionais de educação física para o reconhecimento precoce de doenças osteoarticulares através do uso de teleducação interativa / Treinamento de profissionais de educação física para o reconhecimento precoce de doenças osteoarticulares através do uso de teleducação interativaCorrêa, Filipe Guimarães 17 September 2008 (has links)
Fatores como aumento na expectativa de vida da população brasileira e o aumento de número de pessoas com estilo de vida predominantemente sedentário vem gerando o crescimento da incidência de uma série de doenças crônicas e degenerativas. A prática de exercícios físicos para esta considerável parcela da sociedade é importante, entretanto, a prescrição e execução da prática de exercícios físicos requerem cuidados especiais, como o reconhecimento de sinais que permitam a suspeita de doenças e lesões, principalmente as doenças musculosesqueléticas que podem ser agravados devido a atividades físicas, sem tratamento médico adequado. Através de um levantamento realizado no início deste trabalho, constatou-se a deficiência ou até ausência de matérias ou disciplinas que abordassem temas relacionados a doenças do sistema osteoarticular nas grades curriculares de cursos de graduação em educação física. Atualmente as academias de ginástica são em grande parte freqüentadas por pessoas que tem como objetivo a manutenção ou aquisição de uma melhor condição de saúde, não se restringindo apenas a objetivos relacionados com a estética corporal. As modalidades de exercícios mais praticados são: ginástica e musculação, segundo pesquisa realizada pelo Conselho Regional de Educação Física do Estado de São Paulo. Em outro levantamento realizado, neste presente trabalho, nas academias de ginástica, revelou que: a incidência de queixas de dores por parte dos freqüentadores destas academias se concentravam nas regiões lombar da coluna e joelho e; os professores destas academias careciam de conhecimentos para reconhecimento dos sinais destas doenças. O objetivo deste trabalho foi, estruturar um modelo de teleducação interativa para o treinamento de educadores físicos na identificação de sinais precoces de doenças osteoarticulares, apoioado na estruturação de um curso com inserção em um tutor eletrônico baseado na internet (cybertutor), transmissão de vídeos dos autores dos módulos em forma de video streaming e; utilização de iconografias de computação gráfica 3D (projeto homem virtual). Foi elaborada uma prova para avaliação de conhecimento dos estudantes de graduação dos cursos de educação física e ciências da atividade física da Universidade de São Paulo. Os estudantes foram avaliados quanto ao conhecimento temático do curso concomitante com avaliação do grau de inclusão digital e avaliação subjetiva dos estudantes em relação à aplicabilidade do curso. Como resultado, foi desenvolvido um curso interativo, com video streaming e 3 seqüências do homem virtual como recurso de apoio didático. O trabalho demonstrou que os estudantes tiveram incremento de conhecimento, inclusive os estudantes reprovados; a facilidade de acesso a recursos tecnológicos e de telecomunicação não constituíram fatores determinantes em relação ao grau de desempenho dos estudantes e; a sensação subjetiva dos estudantes em relação à aplicabilidade e relevância do curso foi maior entre os estudantes aprovados / Factors as increase in the expectative of life of Brazilian population and the growth of people with predominantly sedentary style of life are generating the growth of the incidence of many chronic and degenerative illnesses. The practice of physical exercises for this considerable portion of the society is important, however, to prescribe and execute the practice of physical exercises requires special cares, such as the recognition of these signals that can allow to suspect of illnesses and injuries, mainly the musculoskeletal diseases that can be aggravated due to practice of physical exercises, without adjusted medical treatment. Through a collection of data in the initial phases of this work was evidenced that theres a lack or none of disciplines that speech about themes related with diseases of the musculoskeletal system in the curriculum of the graduations courses in physical education. Nowadays, the gymnastics academies are frequented by people with the objective of improving health condition, not only improving the corporal esthetic condition. The modalities of the most practiced exercises in these environments are: gymnastics and muscular exercises, accordingly to a research done by CREF (Regional Counsel of Physical Education of the State of São Paulo). Another collection of data in this work was in the gymnastics academies that revealed that the incidence of pains complaints of the people who goes to academy was concentrated in the lumbar regions of the column and knee; the professors of these academies need of knowledge for recognition of the signal of these illnesses. The objective of this work was to structure a model interactive teleducation for the training of physical educators in the identification precocious signals of osteoarticular illnesses, which was supported of a structured course inserted in an electronic tutor based in the internet (cybertutor), transmission of videos of the modules authors presented as streaming videos and use of 3D iconography of graphical computation (virtual man project). It was applied an evaluation test of knowledge for students from graduations courses in physical education and physical activity sciences of the University of São Paulo. They were submitted to an evaluation about their knowledge of the courses theme, an evaluation of the degree of digital inclusion and a subjective evaluation in relation to the applicability of the course. As result, an interactive course was developed, with video streaming and 3 sequences of the virtual man as resource of didactic support. This work demonstrated that the students had had knowledge increment, including the disapproved ones, the facility of access to technological and telecommunication resources had not constituted determinative factors in relation to the performance degree of students and the subjective sensation of the students in relation to the applicability and relevance of the course was bigger between the approved students

Applying the ICF-CY Framework to Children With Cleft Palate: Narrative Review of a Fresh ApproachMeredith, Ashley, Acquino do Nascimento, Jacqueline, Herrmann, Amanda, Farmer, Rachel, Louw, Brenda, Maximino, Luciana Paula 03 April 2014 (has links)
The International Classification of Function, Disability and Health-Children and Youth Version (ICY-CY), (WHO, 2007) provides an important framework for the holistic consideration of children with communication disorders such as cleft lip and palate. It allows for understanding the effects of a cleft lip and palate on a child’s ability to communicate in structured and natural contexts, going beyond a focus on body structures and functions in order to examine the ways that environmental and personal factors influence the child. Over the years, a number of researchers have applied the ICF-CY framework to children with communication impairments such as speech sound disorders, language impairments, and stuttering. While there is an emerging body of research and literature on this topic, the ICF-CY does not yet appear to be widely applied clinically to children with cleft lip and palate. The aim of the study was to conduct a comprehensive narrative review of the application of the ICF-CY to children with cleft lip and palate, in order to illustrate its use in this population, to identify research needs, and to make recommendations for clinical application to assessment and intervention and integrating the ICF-CY in cleft palate curricula. A systematic search of the literature was conducted by following a specific search strategy and a systematized selection of publications for review to limit researcher bias. Computer searches of electronic data bases, as well as hand searches, were conducted to identify publications and sources that addressed the ICF-CY or ICF in children with cleft lip and palate. Publications and sources that met the inclusion criteria were selected for review. Each source was summarized according to the author(s) and publication year, and a qualitative description of each was made according to structured review procedures and templates. Applications of the specific ICF-CY components to children with cleft lip and palate were mapped, and recommendations for clinical application and future research were described. It is suggested that the ICF-CY framework should be included in cleft palate curricula to provide future speech-language pathologists with a holistic perspective on children with cleft lip and palate and to extend their thinking about the impact of speech impairment associated with cleft lip and palate. Training to adopt the ICF-CY framework will also facilitate collaborative interdisciplinary care of children with cleft lip and palate. Using the ICF-CY framework in the assessment of children in this population will focus intervention on the ultimate goal of improvement of the child's ability to communicate in natural settings. This narrative review will also serve as the theoretical underpinning for a planned survey of the clinical assessment practices of speech-language pathologists treating children with cleft lip and palate.
