3D antenna characterization for WPT applications

The main goal of this paper is to present a three-dimensional (3D) antenna array to improve the performance of wireless power transmission (WPT) systems, as well as its characterization with over-the-air (OTA) multi-sine techniques. The 3D antenna consists of 15 antenna elements attached to an alternative 3D structure, allowing energy to be transmitted to all azimuth directions at different elevation angles wit...

The role of pain and disability changes after physiotherapy treatment on global...

Background: The effectiveness of physiotherapy in patients with chronic low back pain is usually measured through changes in pain and disability domains. However, recent research has suggested that these two domains are not sufficient to capture all the physiotherapy benefits when patients’ perspective is considered. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of pain and disability changes in ...

How do physical therapists measure treatment outcomes in adults with chronic lo...

Background. There is an increasing recognition of the importance of using a conceptual framework covering the full range of relevant health domains and outcome measures addressed by physical therapy modalities in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP). However, little is known about what outcome domains have been measured and through what measures in physical therapy research. Objective. The purpose of this...

Minimum important change values for pain and disability: which is the best to i...

Purpose: To examine the association between different minimum important change (MIC) values for pain and disability and a successful response in global perception of improvement in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP). Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted. At baseline, all participants completed a sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale and the ...

Beyond pain and disability: an explanatory mixed methods study exploring outcom...

Purpose: The primary aim of this study was to explore relevant outcome domains for patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) undergoing physiotherapy. A secondary aim was to examine potential discrepancies between meaningful changes in pain and disability and the global perception of improvement. Methods: An explanatory mixed methods design was employed. Twenty-two patients with CLBP completed self-reported me...

3D antenna array for SWIPT Sensing with WPT capabilities

In this work, the design and development of an alternative three-dimensional array is presented. This arrangement aims to improve Simultaneously Wireless Information and Power Transfer (SWIPT) systems and to provide advantages when integrated into a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) architecture. The conceived 3D antenna array consists of eight antenna elements operating at 5.65 GHz that are attached in a 3D printe...

Cross-cultural adaptation and psychometric properties of the european portugues...

Purpose: To cross-culturally adapt the Global Perceived Effect Scale (GPES) into Portuguese and investigate its psychometric properties in patients with chronic low back pain. Methods: Cross-cultural adaptation was carried out according to published guidelines. Along with measures for pain and disability, GPES was administered at baseline, 48-h later and post-intervention. To estimate test-retest reliability, t...
