Objective What are the core capabilities physiotherapists need to deliver quality care when working with people with dementia and their families/caregivers? Design A three-round modified e-Delphi study. Participants Panel members were physiotherapists experienced in working with people with dementia …

Objectives Appropriate administration of intraoperative analgesia is an essential factor in care and reasonable recovery times. Inappropriate intraoperative analgesia puts the patient at risk of acute postoperative pain (APOP). The absence of an objective standard for intraoperative nociceptive monitoring …

Objectives Providing an overview of the clinimetric properties of the steep ramp test (SRT), a short-term maximal exercise test, to assess cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), describing its underlying physiological responses, and summarizing its applications in current clinical and research practice. Data …

In de fysiotherapiepraktijk is 38% van de patiënten chronisch ziek. In het behandelplan is bewegen een belangrijk behandeldoel. Vooraf wordt de fysieke fitheid gemeten, er wordt dan over cardiorespiratoire fitheid (CRF) gesproken. De steep ramp test (SRT) kan de CRF inventariseren. De heart rate recovery …

Consumer wearables health data may reflect the impact of pancreatic cancer and its treatment on cardiorespiratory fitness and the subsequent recovery after treatment. The patient is a 65-year-old male treated for borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. Treatment consisted of four courses of FOLFIRINOX …

The effects of stress may be alleviated when its impact or a decreased stress-resilience are detected early. This study explores whether wearable-measured sleep and resting HRV in police officers can be predicted by stress-related Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) measures in preceding days and predict …

Background: Training load is typically described in terms of internal and external load. Investigating the coupling of internal and external training load is relevant to many sports. Here, continuous kernel-density estimation (KDE) may be a valuable tool to capture and visualize this coupling. Aim: Using …

The emergence of wearable sensor technology may provide opportunities for automated measurement of psychophysiological markers of mental and physical fitness, which can be used for personalized feedback. This study explores to what extent within-subject changes in resting heart rate variability (HRV) …

Background: Aerobic (VT1) and anaerobic threshold (VT2) detection requires either expensive gas analysis machines or difficult practise. A company named StepUp Air who have created a wearable Breathing Rate (BR) and Heart Rate (HR) monitor could potentially provide a cheaper solution in. Objective: …

The effects of stress may be alleviated when its impact or a decreased stress-resilience are detected early. This study explores whether wearable-measured sleep and resting HRV in police officers can be predicted by stress-related Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) measures in preceding days and predict …
