Effects of aging on vibration detection thresholds at various body regions
BACKGROUND The ability to detect sinusoidal vibrations on the skin surface is dependent on the activation of two classes of receptors. The density of such receptors varies across the skin surface and is a factor in determining the sensory acuity of each skin area. However, the acuity of many sensory systems is known to deteriorate with advancing age. The aim of this study was to determine if vi...
متن کاملBody sway and vibration perception thresholds in normal aging and in patients with polyneuropathy.
Body sway and vibration perception in the lower limbs were measured in 32 normal subjects and 25 patients with peripheral neuropathies; nerve conduction studies were also performed in the patients with neuropathies. Body sway was measured by means of force-plate posturography, and three methods were used to assess vibration perception: a neurothesiometer, a semiquantitative tuning fork, and the...
متن کاملComparing the effects of various whole-body vibration accelerations on counter-movement jump performance.
While it seems that whole body vibration (WBV) might be an effective modality to enhance physical performance, the proper prescription of WBV for performance enhancement remains unknown. The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effect of various WBV accelerations on counter movement jump (CMJ) height, the duration of any effect, and differences between men and women. Forty-four pa...

15 صفحه اولOn Various Specialized Vibration Techniques for Detection of Bearing Faults
Detection of bearing faults from raw time domain or frequency domain data is extremely difficult in view of the fact that there are a very large number of frequency components present in these signals. For this reason, other specialized signal processing techniques have been tried out. Experiments were carried out on a specially fabricated bearing test rig with variable speed drive and hydrauli...
