HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that the prevalence of rotator cuff tears would be higher among individuals with poor posture, regardless of the presence of symptoms. METHODS The study initially comprised 525 residents of a mountain village who participated in an annual health check. Participants completed a background questionnaire, and physical examinations were performed to evaluate shoulder fu...

BACKGROUND There is uncertainty as to which foot posture measures are the most valid in terms of predicting kinematics of the foot. The aim of this study was to investigate the associations of clinical measures of static foot posture and mobility with foot kinematics during barefoot walking. METHOD Foot posture and mobility were measured in 97 healthy adults (46 males, 51 females; mean age 24...

There has been an active development toward the extraction of human image by measuring heat sources with infrared rays. This is because infrared rays are more effective at detecting human than visible light. Detection of position and posture of occupants using low resolution sensor is proposed. The proposed system can measure the position and posture of occupants from data using a sensor. Other...

Posture sensing techniques for Compliant Framed Modular Mobile Robots (CFMMR) are presented in this paper using a new Relative Posture Sensor (RPS) combined with standard sensors in a tiered fusion algorithm. The fusion algorithm uses traditional Kalman filters and rigid axle kinematic models to predict the global posture of each axle. A Covariance Intersection filter then fuses disparate axle ...

Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine: whether and at what stage of education is proper body posture learned, the intention of young adults to participate in activities teaching proper posture, and the effects of factors related with the said intention. Methods. The study involved 430 university students aged 18–24 years. Anthropometric data was collected. Participants completed quest...

background: premature birth is a major cause of infant mortality in developed countries. newborns confined to neonatal intensive care units (nicus) are in a rapid stage of brain development. as such, sleep plays a pivotal role in the proper brain development of newborns. however, this developmental aspect is often disregarded due to the lack of information. aim: this study aimed to evaluate the...

background: musculoskeletal disorders (msds) are one of the most common causes of occupational injuries that appear in the lower back, neck and upper and lower extremities mainly. this study was conducted to assess the risk of msds and determine of its associated factors in workers of a dairy products company. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 100 male employees (21-41yrs) using census sa...

Increasing the value is important for corporate, determinants of which include financing posture, profitability, growth, and size. This research aims to prove intermediary role posture profitability in strategy increasing corporate value. Data was collected from companies LQ 45 index group February July 2022. The results that size have a substantial positive contribution on growth negative Prof...

Human erect locomotion is unique among living primates. Evolution selected specific biomechanical features that make human locomotion mechanically efficient. These features are matched by the motor patterns generated in the CNS. What happens when humans walk with bent postures? Are normal motor patterns of erect locomotion maintained or completely reorganized? Five healthy volunteers walked str...

introduction pressure ulcers are tissue damages resulting from blood flow restriction, which occurs when the tissue is exposed to high pressure for a long period of time. these painful sores are common in patients and elderly, who spend extended periods of time in bed or wheelchair. in this study, a continuous pressure and temperature monitoring system was developed for pressure ulcer preventio...
