Objectives: Pronation distortion syndrome is one of the common physical deformities, that causes distortions in the skeletal structures of the feet. The current study aimed to determine the effects of 12 weeks of systematic and functional corrective exercises on the body posture of students with pronation distortion syndrome.  Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 30 volunteers suffering ...

background: musculoskeletal symptoms are the main cause of loss of working time, and increase in labor costs. poor posture is the most important risk factor for work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. this study aimed at evaluating the role of ergonomic risk factors in different surgical (open surgery, laparoscopy, and microsurgery) in the frequency or resonance frequency of musculoskeletal symp...

Yoga has been a great form of physical activity and one the promising applications in personal health care. Several studies prove that yoga is used as treatments for cancer, musculoskeletal disorder, depression, Parkinson’s disease, respiratory heart diseases. In yoga, body should be mechanically aligned with some effort on muscles, ligaments, joints optimal posture. Postural-based increases fl...

Dance-like actions are complex visual stimuli involving multiple changes in body posture across time and space. Visual perception research has demonstrated a difference between the processing of dynamic body movement and the processing of static body posture. Yet, it is unclear whether this processing dissociation continues during the retention of body movement and body form in visual working m...

Remapping tactile events from skin to external space is an essential process for human behaviour. It allows us to refer tactile sensations to their actual externally based location, by combining anatomically based somatosensory information with proprioceptive information about the current body posture. We examined the time course of tactile remapping by recording speeded saccadic responses to s...

Background: Working time accounts for a great deal of an individual worker’s life. This study aims to examine the impact of ergonomic conditions on the self-esteem of workers in Gaziantep, Turkey. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted recruiting 755 workers from two factories and verbal informed consent was obtained from the workers. Data were obtained from groups using a...

Motor planning is a hierarchical process that is typically organized around an action's goal (e.g., drinking from a cup). However, the motor plan depends not only on the goal but also on the current body state. Here, we investigated how one's own body posture interacts with planning of goal-directed actions. Participants engaged in a grasp selection (GS) task while we manipulated their arm post...

Detailed statistical models of body size and shape are valuable for wide range of statistical analyses. Most body shape models represent a single posture, usually standing. Previous efforts to model both posture and body shape have parameterized posture using joint angles. This paper presents a statistical model of body shape in supported seated postures using a posture measured derived from su...

Human body posture recognition has become the focus of many researchers in recent years. Recognition is used various applications, including surveillance, security, and health monitoring. However, these systems that determine body’s through video clips, images, or data from sensors have challenges when real world. This paper provides an important review how most essential ‎ hardware technologie...
