Posture in dentists: Sitting vs. standing positions during dentistry work--An EMG study.
INTRODUCTION Adequate working posture is important for overall health. Inappropriate posture may increase fatigue, decrease efficiency, and eventually lead to injuries. OBJECTIVE The purpose was to examine posture positions used during dentistry work. METHODS In order to quantify different posture positions, we recorded muscle activity and positions of body segments. The position (inclinati...
متن کاملConstrained posture in dentistry – a kinematic analysis of dentists
BACKGROUND How a dentist works, such as the patterns of movements performed daily, is also largely affected by the workstation Dental tasks are often executed in awkward body positions, thereby causing a very high degree of strain on the corresponding muscles. The objective of this study is to detect those dental tasks, during which awkward postures occur most frequently. The isolated analysis ...
متن کاملModeling Cerebral Blood Flow Control During Posture Change From Sitting to Standing
Hypertension, decreased cerebral blood flow, and diminished cerebral blood flow velocity regulation, are among the first signs indicating the presence of cerebral vascular disease. In this paper, we will present a mathematical model that can predict blood flow and pressure during posture change from sitting to standing. The mathematical model uses a compartmental approach to describe pulsatile ...
متن کاملHeterogeneity in the Energy Cost of Posture Maintenance during Standing Relative to Sitting: Phenotyping According to Magnitude and Time-Course
BACKGROUND Reducing sitting-time may decrease risk of disease and increase life-span. In the search for approaches to reduce sitting-time, research often compares sitting to standing and ambulation, but the energetic cost of standing alone versus sitting is equivocal, with large variation in reported mean values (0% to >20% increase in energy expenditure (EE) during standing). OBJECTIVE To de...
متن کاملTrunk control in unstable sitting posture during functional activities Running Title : Balance in sitting
Objectives: To examine trunk stability in unstable sitting posture in two different functional activities. Design: A randomized crossover design. Participants: Ten healthy subjects and ten patients suffering from MS. Interventions: A task in which the subjects had to keep their trunk as stable as possible was compared with tasks in which they had to track an object with the head or grasp an obj...
