The effectiveness of a peer-mentored older adult fitness program on perceived physical, mental, and social function.

30 Jan 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this research was to compare changes in perceived physical, mental, and social function measured by the Short Form-36 (SF36vr2) in a group of older adults who were trained by peer mentors (PMs) versus a similar group trained ... Read more...

Effects of functional electrical stimulation in rehabilitation with hemiparesis patients.

30 Jan 2009 Cerebrovascular accident is a focal neurological deficiency occurring suddenly and lasting for more than 24 hours. The purpose of our work is to determine the role of the functional electrical simulation (FES) in the rehabilitation of patients with ... Read more...

Validation of an accelerometer for measuring sport performance.

30 Dec 2008 Weightlifting technique is a well-studied subject with regard to standard biomechanical analysis that includes barbell velocity as well as barbell trajectory, but kinematic data such as barbell acceleration have not often been reported. Real-time or ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Kinesiology, Applied'

Definition: The study of muscles and the movement of the human body. In holistic medicine it is the balance of movement and the interaction of a person's energy systems. Applied kinesiology is the name given by its inventor, Dr. George Goodheart, to the system of applying muscle testing diagnostically and therapeutically to different aspects of health care. (Thorsons Introductory Guide to Kinesiology, 1992, p13)
