As you perform the maneuver, assess the muscle strength on the given scale (Table 1). Arm flexion at the elbow is the work of the biceps muscle, which is innervated by C5 and C6, the musculocutaneous nerve. To test the biceps function, ask the patient to flex an arm ("make a ...
The subjects did not receive a physical exam. As described in previous literature, physical activity was assessed using the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) in the Chinese language26. We used the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) to evaluate the degree of ...
More recent work (Pearlman et al., 2004) has suggested that it may not be realistic to assume thumb-tip loads scale linearly withtendon tensionsinbiomechanical models. Their work suggests the thumb may act as a “floating digit” affected by load-dependenttrapeziummotion, but they do not provi...
In the cohort study, subgroup analysis was performed for people over 50 years, and we used the same diagnostic method of MCI consistent with the cross-sectional study (only the MoCA scale) and repeated the analysis as a sensitivity analysis. All statistical calculations were performed using ...
Questionnaire (IPAQ) in the Chinese language26. We used the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) to evaluate the degree of depression of participants; GDS scores of 0–10 were classified as having no depression, scores of 11–20 were classified as slight depression and scores of 21–30 were ...
Pragmatic biomarkers of preclinical dementia would allow for easy and large-scale screening of risk in populations. Physical function measures like grip strength and gait speed are potential predictive biomarkers but their relationship with plasma markers of Alzheimer's Disease and neurodegeneration have ...

All of these require prior precise arrangement and calibration, and therefore will be high-cost and time-consuming, as they were applied to large-scale CBM's monitoring. Conversely, simple, direct detection of intrinsic electrical properties, e.g., direct current (dc) resistivity, of CBM during...
