Differences in trunk accelerometry between frail and non-frail elderly persons in functional tasks
Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio
(BMC Research Notes, 2014-02-21)
Background: Physical conditions through gait and other functional task are parameters to consider for frailty detection. The aim of the present study is to measure and describe the variability of acceleration, angular ... -
Differences in Trunk Accelerometry Between Frail and Nonfrail Elderly Persons in Sit-to-Stand and Stand-to-Sit Transitions Based on a Mobile Inertial Sensor
Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio (JMIR Publications, 2013-08-16)
Background: Clinical frailty syndrome is a common geriatric syndrome, which is characterized by physiological reserve decreases and increased vulnerability. The changes associated to ageing and frailties are associated to ... -
Differences in trunk kinematic between frail and nonfrail elderly persons during turn transition based on a smartphone inertial sensor
Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio (Wiley, 2013)
Objective: Firstly, to, through instrumentation with the iPhone4 smartphone, measure and describe variability of tridimensional acceleration, angular velocity, and displacement of the trunk in the turn transition during ... -
Effectiveness of a muticomponent workout program integrated in an evidence based multimodal program in hyperfrail elderly patients: POWERAGING randomized clinical trial protocol
González-Sánchez, Manuel; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio; Rodríguez González, María Del Mar; Díaz Caro, Elvira; Ortega Núñez, Germán; Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Bedoya Belmonte, Juan José[et al.] (BMC Geriatr, 2019-06-21)
Background: Short-term and mid-term comparison of the efficacy of a multimodal program that incorporates a therapeutic workout program, medication review, diet adjustment and health education, in comparison to the standard ... -
Identification of Target Body Composition Parameters by Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, Bioelectrical Impedance, and Ultrasonography to Detect Older Adults With Frailty and Prefrailty Status Using a Mobile App in Primary Care Services: Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study
Mihaiescu-Ion, Veronica; Losa-Reyna, José; Ortiz-Navarro, Beatriz; García-Romero, Jerónimo; Carrillo-de-Albornoz, Margarita; Galán-Mercant, Alejandro[et al.] (JMIR Publications, 2025)
Este estudio analiza la utilidad de distintas técnicas de evaluación de la composición corporal —absorciometría de rayos X de energía dual (DXA), bioimpedancia multifrecuencia (BIA) y ecografía muscular— para predecir el ... -
Kinematic Mobile Drop Jump Analysis at Different Heights Based on a Smartphone Inertial Sensor
Mateos-Angulo, Álvaro; Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio (Scielo, 2020-07-21)
The purpose of this study was to describe the acceleration variables in a plyometric jump test using the inertial sensor built into an iPhone 4S® smartphone, and the jumping variables from a contact mat. A cross-sectional ... -
Mobile Romberg test assessment (mRomberg)
Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio (BMC Springer Nature, 2014-09-12)
Background: The diagnosis of frailty is based on physical impairments and clinicians have indicated that early detection is one of the most effective methods for reducing the severity of physical frailty. Maybe, an alternative ... -
Muscle Thickness and Echo Intensity by Ultrasonography and Cognitive and Physical Dimensions in Older Adults
Mateos-Angulo, Álvaro; Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio (MDPI, 2021-08-13)
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations between muscle thickness and echo intensity with cognitive and physical dimensions like functional capacity measured in older people. This cross-sectional ... -
Reliability and criterion-related validity with a smartphone used in timed-up-and-go test
Galán-Mercant, Alejandro; Barón-López, Francisco Javier; Labajos-Manzanares, María Teresa; Cuesta-Vargas, Antonio (BMC Springer Nature, 2014-12-02)
Background: The capacity to diagnosys, quantify and evaluate movement beyond the general confines of a clinical environment under effectiveness conditions may alleviate rampant strain on limited, expensive and highly ...
