Individuals who report task modification have an increased risk of future mobility limitation.
Task-specific muscle endurance training and task modification have been shown to significantly increase work tolerance limits in healthy subjects performing a repetitive manual work task [ 14].
Fried and colleagues found self report of task modification and performance measures to be independent and strong predictors of incident mobility disability[ 7].
Potential interventions could be 'job-related' such as task modification, to ensure work demands are consistent with the reduced physical capacity of the ageing worker.
On the other hand, a longitudinal study of pre-clinical disability conducted in community dwelling older persons [ 21] showed that depression, living alone, the number of chronic diseases were not associated with preclinical disability, while difficulty in walking and climbing stairs, task modification for stair climbing were significant predictors.
Task induced modifications in rhythms of physiological signals acquired during a real-time driving are clinically proven hallmarks for quantitative analysis of stress and mental fatigue.
We chose three experimental designs that have been used to test several primate species (trap tube task and modification task) and New Caledonian crows (tool length task).
In recent years, X-ray CT scanners with task-specific modifications, such as microfocus and/or a synchrotron, have been widely implemented in a variety of fields, including medical and industrial fields.
Since all these events are deeply related to the acquisition phase, these results agree with previous findings by our group showing that while animals were learning the task, circuit modification was high [2], [3], [4].
It is structured to allow for easy introduction of new features, and the researchers performed task-specific modifications of Carafe to increase de-identification accuracy.
