  2. Bone exercise monitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_exercise_monitor

    The bone strengthening quality of physical exercise is very difficult to assess and monitor due to the great variability of intensity of exercise modes and individual differences in exercise patterns. Bone exercise monitors utilize accelerometers for measurement, and the collected data is analyzed with a specially developed algorithm.

  3. Locomotive syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locomotive_syndrome

    Locomotive syndrome is generally caused by decreased strength of muscles and balance related to ageing and locomotive conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and spondylosis. [10] [11] [12] Muscle degeneration becomes more common in people aged 50 or above. On average, they lose 3% of their muscle strength annually. [4]

  4. Neuroimaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroimaging

    The advantage of measuring the magnetic fields produced by neural activity is that they are likely to be less distorted by surrounding tissue (particularly the skull and scalp) compared to the electric fields measured by electroencephalography (EEG). Specifically, it can be shown that magnetic fields produced by electrical activity are not ...

  5. Rehabilitation in spinal cord injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehabilitation_in_spinal...

    Other complications that arise from immobilization include muscle atrophy and osteoporosis, especially to the lower limbs, increasing the risk of fractures to the femur and tibia. [7] While passive weight bearing of paralyzed lower extremities appears to be ineffective, stressing the bones through muscular contractions initiated by functional ...

  6. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_near-infrared...

    Using fNIRS, brain activity is measured by using near-infrared light to estimate cortical hemodynamic activity which occur in response to neural activity. Alongside EEG, fNIRS is one of the most common non-invasive neuroimaging techniques which can be used in portable contexts.

  7. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraoperative...

    Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) or intraoperative neuromonitoring is the use of electrophysiological methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and evoked potentials to monitor the functional integrity of certain neural structures (e.g., nerves, spinal cord and parts of the brain) during

  8. Voltage-sensitive dye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-sensitive_dye

    Voltage-sensitive dyes have been used to measure neural activity in several areas of the nervous system in a variety of organisms, including the squid giant axon, [19] whisker barrels of the rat somatosensory cortex, [20] [21] olfactory bulb of the salamander, [22] [23] [24] visual cortex of the cat, [25] optic tectum of the frog, [26] and the ...

  9. Rheobase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheobase

    Rheobase is a measure of membrane potential excitability. In neuroscience , rheobase is the minimal current amplitude of infinite duration that results in the depolarization threshold of the cell membranes being reached, such as an action potential or the contraction of a muscle. [ 1 ]
