Abstract:

What is the impact of acalculia upon an individual’s everyday life? In clinical practice, a few measures of Activities of Daily Living are available. In these batteries, however, numerical abilities were not distinguished from other abilities. As a consequence, no instrument has been made available so far to measure the nature and the extent of damage to everyday life specifically brought by acalculia in a given individual. The first aim of this series of studies was to build and validate an instrument, the Numerical Activities of Daily Living (NADL), designed to measure this impact. The first

Abstract:

Depression is a common clinical and subclinical psychiatric disorder in the middle-age to older adult population. This study examined the relationship between depression and activities of daily living (ADLs) in middle-age to older adults. This study examined longitudinal data from the 1998, wave 4, and 2000, wave 5, of the Health and Retirement Study (HRS), a National Panel Study sponsored by the National Institute on Aging. A negative cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between higher ADL scores and depression was hypothesized. A goal of the present study was to determine the tempor

Abstract:

Activity recognition is becoming an increasingly important task in artificial intelligence. Successful activity recognition systems must be able to model and recognise activities ranging from simple short activities spanning a few seconds to complex longer activities spanning minutes or hours. We define activities as a set of qualitatively interesting interactions between people, objects and the environment. Accurate activity recognition is a desirable task in many scenarios such as surveillance, smart environments, robotic vision etc. In the domain of robotic vision specifically, there is now

There is an increasing concern in tackling the problems faced by the elderly community and physically in-locked people to lead an independent life experience problems with self- care. The need for developing service robots that can help people with mobility impairments is hence very essential. Developing a control framework for shared human-robot autonomy will allow locked-in individuals to perform the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in a exible way. The relevant ADL scenarios were identi ed as handling objects, self-feeding, and opening doors for indoor nav- igation assistance. Multiple expe

Back pain is a very common musculoskeletal impairment in most Americans. Average annual occurrence of back pain is reported around 30% of the population and is the most common cause of activity limitation in people younger than 45 years old. Eighty percent of the back pain presents in the lumbar spine. Although this ailment is very prevalent in the American population, there is a lack of empirical evidence supporting the common clinical diagnosis and intervention back pain strategies. The frequency of back pain and the lack of treatment methods were the motivation for this investigation. It is

Abstract:

Stroke survivors suffering from cognitive deficits experience difficulty completing their daily self-care activities. The latter are referred to as activities of daily living (ADL). The resulting loss of independence makes them rely on caregivers to help them go through their daily routine. However, such reliance on caregivers may conflict with their need for privacy and willingness to keep a control over their life. A possible solution to tackle this issue is the development of an assistive or rehabilitation system.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia initially characterised by short-term memory deficits followed by a progressive cross domain cognitive and functional decline over time and loss of independence in carrying out activities of daily living (ADL). Apathy and depression are also the two most frequent neuropsychiatric sequalae associated with AD and have an impact on patients' ability to execute ADLs. Little is still known if apathy subdomains differently predict ADL performance in these patients. In this study, we aimed to quantitatively investigate if global apathy and
