Taxonomy

85.1K
Taxonomy is the science of defining and naming groups of biological organisms based on shared characteristics. It uses a hierarchy of increasingly inclusive categories with Latin names. The smallest units of taxonomy, species and genus, are used to assign a formal, taxonomic name to each species in a system. This classification system, referred to as binomial nomenclature, was formalized by Carolus Linnaeus in the 18th century.

Upper-extremity Approach for Secondary Access in Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

510
An upper-extremity approach for secondary access during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation is associated with fewer secondary access site-related bleeding complications and reduces time to mobilization in patients requiring extended pacing. This protocol aims to provide an extensive overview of the upper-extremity approach and guide operators in adopting this methodology.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Neurorehabilitation
  • Human Motor Control

Background:

  • Functional upper extremity (UE) motion is crucial for activities of daily living (ADLs).
  • A standardized method to classify UE functional motion and its primitives is lacking.
  • This gap hinders knowledge pooling and rehabilitation content analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a taxonomy for characterizing functional UE motions during ADLs.
  • To identify and define fundamental functional primitives of UE motion.
  • To assess the taxonomy's reliability and utility in chronic stroke patients.

Main Methods:

  • A novel taxonomy was created to classify UE motions based on presence, cyclicity, effector, and contact type.
  • Five functional primitives (reach, reposition, transport, stabilize, idle) were identified.
  • The taxonomy was validated and its interrater reliability assessed in stroke survivors performing ADL tasks.

Main Results:

  • The taxonomy successfully classified all observed UE motions during ADLs.
  • High interrater reliability (Cohen's kappa = 0.95-0.99) was achieved for primitive identification.
  • ADL tasks predominantly used 'transport' and 'stabilize' primitives with proximal motions; moderately impaired patients showed increased 'reach' repetitions.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed taxonomy provides objective, quantitative data on functional UE motion.
  • This method can enhance the decomposition and quantification of UE rehabilitation.
  • It offers a tool for characterizing post-stroke functional abnormalities and examining motor behaviors.
