Wave Motion as a Stress Intervention Method for Stage II and Stage 'III' Breast-Cancer Survivors

摘要

Objectives: In this study, certain features of the intrauterine environment were simulated to produce a stress-free environment for females with breast cancer.Design: The key motion used to achieve the effect was a constant wave motion with an amplitude mean of 5 seconds, as recorded with a Terrella6 3-axis gyro sensor (MassMicroelec-tronics, LLC, Canton MA).Location: The study site was aboard a chartered Pearson Al-berg sloop, called HADO (Japanese for energy) under Capt. Joy Sherman, of Westbrook, CT. Weather ranged from sunny to inclement; the mean temperature of the facility was 26.0°C (78.0degF).
