Bioelectrical Impedance Methods for Noninvasive Health Monitoring: A Review.
Under the alternating electrical excitation, biological tissues produce a complex electrical impedance which depends on tissue composition, structures, health status, and applied signal frequency, and hence the bioelectrical impedance methods can be utilized for noninvasive tissue characterization. As the impedance responses of these tissue parameters vary with frequencies of the applied signal...
متن کاملThe Application of Bioelectrical Impedance to Monitor Leg Movement
The purpose of this study is to provide a new approach for detection using bio-impedance. This impedance is measured by the four-electrode method. As the impedance changes resulting from ankle, knee, and hip movements depended heavily on electrode placement, we determined the optimal electrode configurations for those movements by searching for high correlation coefficients, large impedance cha...
متن کاملdesign and implementation of a portable impedance cardiograph system for non-invasive stroke volume monitoring
measurement of the stroke volume and its changes over time can be very helpful for diagnosis of dysfunctions in the blood circulatory system and monitoring their treatments. impedance cardiography (icg) is a simple method of measuring the stroke volume based on changes in the instantaneous mean impedanceof the thorax. this method has received much attention in the last two decades because it is...
متن کاملA new simple method for the measurement of visceral fat accumulation by bioelectrical impedance.
W e and others (1–9) have shown that the accumulation of visceral fat is associated with multiple risk factor syndrome more closely than with the BMI itself or the amount of subcutaneous fat. In these studies, computed tomography (CT) scan at the umbilical level (10) was used for the assessment of visceral fat area (VFA). However, the method is not cost-effective and/or radiation exposure is pr...
متن کاملBody Composition of Bangladeshi Children: Comparison and Development of Leg-to-Leg Bioelectrical Impedance Equation
The aim of this study was to investigate the validity of the Tanita TBF 300A leg-to-leg bioimpedance analyzer for estimating fat-free mass (FFM) in Bangladeshi children aged 4-10 years and to develop novel prediction equations for use in this population, using deuterium dilution as the reference method. Two hundred Bangladeshi children were enrolled. The isotope dilution technique with deuteriu...
