Posture Sensor: Cross Leg Detector at Knee Level
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a wearable posture device that can detect and alert when a person tries to attempt a cross leg at the knee level. Generally having a cross leg is considered as normal but if it is done regular then it can create large number of problems such as damaging the veins, increasing the blood pressure, temporary paralysis and sometimes long term numbness. The main problem is that we don’t even realize that we are doing it. So, to overcome this problem, we have developed a prototype, that can alert the user. We have developed two types of prototypes where the first one is with feedback and other one is without feedback of our activity regarding cross leg.

Wearable Sensor-Based Rehabilitation Exercise Assessment for Knee Osteoarthritis
Since the knee joint bears the full weight load of the human body and the highest pressure loads while providing flexible movement, it is the body part most vulnerable and susceptible to osteoarthritis. In exercise therapy, the early rehabilitation stages last for approximately six weeks, during which the patient works with the physical therapist several times each week. The patient is afterwar...
متن کاملEffect of Genu Varum Deformity on Gluteus Medius Muscle Activity and Postural Control During Single-Leg Jump-Landing
Purpose: Genu varum deformity changes the line of gravity from center of knee towards the medial side. This deviation results in changes in the upper part of the lower extremity that can affect postural control as well as the position and activity of the proximal muscles of the knee joint, like the gluteus medius muscle. Therefore this study aims to investigate the effect of genu varum disorder...
متن کاملHigh-arched runners exhibit increased leg stiffness compared to low-arched runners.
Leg stiffness between high-arched (HA) and low-arched (LA) runners was compared. It was hypothesized that high-arched runners would exhibit increased leg stiffness, increased sagittal plane support moment, greater vertical loading rates, decreased knee flexion excursion and increased activation of the knee extensor musculature. Twenty high-arched and 20 low-arched subjects were included in this...
