    Obstacle crossing characteristics in the healthy young female and elderly female subjects
    (2012) Sunee Bonvonsunthonchai; Vimonwan Hiengkaew; Roongtiwa Vachalathiti; Mahidol University. Faculty of Physical Therapy
    Objective: To investigate obstacle crossing characteristics in the young and the elderly subjects. Methods: Twenty young and 20 elderly subjects were investigated for their obstacle crossing characteristics by using a 3D motion analysis system.... Markers were placed on the bony prominences of the feet and obstacles. Obstacle crossing characteristics were determined with the obstacle crossing time, the vertical distance between toe and obstacle, and the maximum vertical toe clearance. The main

    Intra-limb coordination during obstacle crossing over different obstacle heights
    (2014-01-01) Roongtiwa Vachalathiti; Sunee Bovonsunthonchai; Suthasinee Thong-On; Nattaporn Intawachirarat; Mahidol University
    Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the intra-limb coordination of the lead limb (LL) and trial limb (TL) during obstacle crossing over different heights of obstacle. Methods: Single healthy young female participated in the study.... Obstacle crossing characteristics were collected by three dimension motion analysis system. Intra-limb coordination of the lower extremity was plotted with cyclogram. Three different heights (5-cm, 20-cm, and 30- cm) of obstacles crossing and no obstacle

    What are the obstacles hindering digital transformation for small and medium enterprise freight logistics service providers? An interpretive structural modeling approach
    (2021-01-01) Detcharat Sumrit; Mahidol University
    Digital Transformation (DT) allows logistics service providers (LSPs) to gain competitive advantages by reducing costs, and creating customer experience, innovation and efficiency. This paper proposes a systematic framework to analyse the obstacle... factors hindering DT of Thailand small and medium enterprises freight LSPs. First, thirteen obstacles are identified through the extensive literature and validated by a panel of experts. Second, a nine-level hierarchical structure is determined based

    Ground reaction forces of the lead and trail limbs when stepping over an obstacle
    (2015-07-14) Sunee Bovonsunthonchai; Fuengfa Khobkhun; Roongtiwa Vachalathiti; Mahidol University
    © Med Sci Monit, 2015 Background: Precise force generation and absorption during stepping over different obstacles need to be quantified for task accomplishment. This study aimed to quantify how the lead limb (LL) and trail limb (TL) generate... and absorb forces while stepping over obstacle of various heights. Material/Methods: Thirteen healthy young women participated in the study. Force data were collected from 2 force plates when participants stepped over obstacles. Two limbs (right LL and left

    The obstacles to diabetes self-management education and support from healthcare professionals’ perspectives: A nationwide survey
    (2019-01-01) Lukana Preechasuk; Pornsri Sriussadaporn; Supawadee Likitmaskul; Faculty of Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University
    © 2019 Preechasuk et al. Purpose: This study identified the obstacles to diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES) from healthcare professionals’ perspectives in Thailand. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted... at 613 hospitals throughout Thailand from December 2016 to March 2017. A self-completion questionnaire on the characteristics of, and obstacles to, diabetes education was sent to administrators, doctors, and diabetes educators (DEs). The views of DEs

    The obstacles in the prevention of motor vehicle theft and trafficking in the border area of Kanchanaburi province (Thailand) and prevention guidelines
    (2022-07-01) Pathumya T.; Rujiprak V.; Mahidol University
    This article aimed to examine and analyze the obstacles which the Thai law enforcement agencies have in the prevention of motor vehicle theft and trafficking in the border area of Kanchanaburi province. The results of the research revealed... that there were 5 major obstacles. They were the unclear policy at national level, the lack of integrated law enforcement mechanism, the lack of local people’s awareness of motor vehicle theft, the insufficient collaboration between Thailand and Myanmar

    Problems and obstacles in implementation of nosocomial infection control in Thailand.
    (2005-12-01) Somwang Danchaivijitr; Susan Assanasen; Montakanti Trakuldis; Sribenja Waitayapiches; Somporn Santiprasitkul; Mahidol University
    OBJECTIVES: To study the problems in implementation of nosocomial infection (NI) control in Thailand and strategies to overcome the obstacles. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Interviewing administrators, chair-persons of infection control committee and doctors... by stratified random sampling. Policy on NI control was known to 95.3% and implementation to 81.2% of subjects. The main obstacles of NI control was the lack of incentive (66.7%) and support from administrators (30.2%). Hospital administrators set NI control

    Identifying and analyzing obstacles to ESG-driven sustainable transition in third-party logistics: A WINGS–ISM approach under interval-valued spherical fuzzy modeling
    (2026-04-01) Sumrit D.; Kongsakul R.; Sumrit D.; Mahidol University
    This study investigates the hierarchical structure and causal relationships among obstacles hindering the ESG driven sustainable transition of small and medium sized third-party logistics firms. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV...) and institutional (INT) theory, eleven obstacles are identified and validated, comprising eight endogenous and three exogenous factors. To address ambiguity, hesitation, and partial knowledge in expert judgments, the study adopts interval valued spherical fuzzy sets
