Wall Drop Punt Kick and Catch (Tripela) Test: More Than Just a Measure of Gross...

Previous work has shown that the Wall Drop Punt Kick and Catch (Tripela) test has a strong correlation with the manipulative component (the two tests) of the Motor Competence Assessment (MCA) battery, especially for boys. In the present study, our aim was to broadly examine the association between the Tripela test and the six MCA battery’ tests. We recruited 68 children and early adolescents (36 boys; 32 girls;...

Calibration and Modeling of the Semmes–Weinstein Monofilament for Diabetic Foot...

Diabetic foot is a serious complication that poses significant risks for diabetic patients. The resulting reduction in protective sensitivity in the plantar region requires early detection to prevent ulceration and ultimately amputation. The primary method employed for evaluating this sensitivity loss is the 10 gf Semmes–Weinstein monofilament test, commonly used as a first-line procedure. However, the lack of ...

A low resource skeleton maturation estimation system for automatic hand X-Ray a...

The assessment of differences between skeletal age and chronological age in childhood is often based on the comparison of the patient's left hand x-ray with a reference atlas, performed by a experienced professional. This procedure involves a manual image analysis, that can be subject to inter rater variability posing several problems for clinical applications. In this paper a new methodology for skeleton matur...
