Cardiac arrest and other heart related diseases have become common in today‟s modern life style. It is at most important to detect the abnormalities before the damage is caused. Ballistocardiogram (BCG) is a non-invasive method used to detect the health of heart. Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a plot of repetitive motion of human body arising from the ejection of blood into the blood vessel. BCG...

Background :Carpal tunnel syndrome is a collection of symptoms due to compression the median nerve in carpal at wrist, one risk factors for occurrence syndrome, namely repetitive motion and working period. The purpose this study was determine relationship between tenure with incidence tailors. 
 Method :This type research an analytic cross sectional approach conducted on tailors Belian Vil...

There is concern about the occurrence of long-period ground motions in Japan. In particular, if seismic isolation building subjected to a motion, device likely affect horizontal performance by resonance and long repeated deformation. As evaluation methods, two analysis methods have been proposed. They are “detailed method” “simplified method”. “Detailed an method that considers repetitive depen...

The neural mechanisms underlying the integration and segregation of motion signals are often studied using plaid stimuli. These stimuli consist of two spatially coincident dynamic gratings of differing orientations, which are either perceived to move in two unique directions or are integrated by the visual system to elicit the percept of a checkerboard moving in a single direction. Computations...

PURPOSE Idiopathic osteoarthritis (OA) of the thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is a common disabling disease that often causes pain and motion loss. The aims of this study were to characterize the multidimensional motion capability of the thumb CMC joint in a group with severe CMC OA and to compare it with a control group. METHODS We included 15 subjects with stage III/IV CMC OA according to...

BACKGROUND Endoscopic maneuvers are associated with a high incidence of musculoskeletal injuries. OBJECTIVE To quantify wrist motion patterns during simulated endoscopic procedures to identify potential causes of endoscopy-related overuse injury. DESIGN Twelve endoscopists with different levels of experience were tested on 2 simulated endoscopic procedures that differed in their level of di...

Action prediction and fluidity are a key elements of human-robot teamwork. If a robot’s actions are hard to understand, it can impede fluid HRI. Our goal is to improve the clarity of robot motion by making it more humanlike. We present an algorithm that autonomously synthesizes human-like variants of an input motion. Our approach is a three stage pipeline. First we optimize motion with respect ...

objective: generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders in the general ‎population. several studies suggest that anxiety sensitivity is a vulnerability factor in generalized ‎anxiety severity. however, some other studies suggest that negative repetitive thinking and ‎experiential avoidance as response factors can explain this relationship. therefore, this study ‎aime...
