TL;DR: Clinicians can confidently and quantitatively sample one aspect of proprioceptive sensibility in stroke patients using the wrist position sense test, and development of tests on other joints using the present approach is supported by the findings.

TL;DR: The de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) provides clinicians and researchers with a valid interval-level method for accurately measuring and monitoring mobility levels of older acute medical patients.
Abstract: Existing instruments for measuring mobility are inadequate for accurately assessing older people across the broad spectrum of abilities. Like other indices that monitor critical aspects of health such as blood pressure tests, a mobility test for all older acute medical patients provides essential health data. We have developed and validated an instrument that captures essential information about the mobility status of older acute medical patients. Items suitable for a new mobility instrument were generated from existing scales, patient interviews and focus groups with experts. 51 items were pilot tested on older acute medical inpatients. An interval-level unidimensional mobility measure was constructed using Rasch analysis. The final item set required minimal equipment and was quick and simple to administer. The de Morton Mobility Index (DEMMI) was validated on an independent sample of older acute medical inpatients and its clinimetric properties confirmed. The DEMMI is a 15 item unidimensional measure of mobility. Reliability (MDC90), validity and the minimally clinically important difference (MCID) of the DEMMI were consistent across independent samples. The MDC90 and MCID were 9 and 10 points respectively (on the 100 point Rasch converted interval DEMMI scale). The DEMMI provides clinicians and researchers with a valid interval-level method for accurately measuring and monitoring mobility levels of older acute medical patients. DEMMI validation studies are underway in other clinical settings and in the community. Given the ageing population and the importance of mobility for health and community participation, there has never been a greater need for this instrument.

TL;DR: This foot screening protocol provides a coherent strategy for researchers planning to recruit participants with normal- and flat-arched feet and determines whether foot posture variations in the sagittal, transverse or both planes provide the best descriptor of the flat foot.
Abstract: Background
There are several clinical and radiological methods available to classify foot posture in research, however there is no clear strategy for selecting the most appropriate measurements. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a foot screening protocol to distinguish between participants with normal- and flat-arched feet who would then subsequently be recruited into a series of laboratory-based gait studies.

TL;DR: In this paper, an optimization model is proposed to maximize the economic benefits for rooftop PV-battery DG in a peer-to-peer (P2P) energy trading environment, which is illustrated in a simulation framework for a local community with 500 households under real-world constraints encompassing PV systems, battery storage, customer demand profiles and market signals including the retail price, feed-in tariff and P2P energy trading mechanism.
