This study aims to confirm the effects of a neck pillow on postural stability head and variance center mass in sitting position. Experiments were conducted keeping posture at rest with without use two types pillows; wrap front pillow. During experiments, whole body was recorded by motion capture system. Differences head-and-neck resting position statistically compared among conditions. As resul...

INTRODUCTION Observational studies report inverse associations between the use of feather upper bedding (pillow and/or quilt) and asthma symptoms but there is no randomised controlled trial (RCT) evidence assessing the role of feather upper bedding as a secondary prevention measure. OBJECTIVE To determine whether, among children not using feather upper bedding, a new feather pillow and feathe...

Patient was able to stand and walk a little with help, but spent most of her time in a semirecumbent position, propped up with pillows. Could not rise without assistance, and had not been able to lie down without imminent risk and fear of suffocation for some time. / Her history showed that she had given birth to two children, one 16 years ago and the second 10 years later. For the past two yea...

We present evidence for a monitoring process in language perception at the word level, reflected by a P600. This P600 is triggered when a conflict evolves because the brain encounters an unexpected linguistic item when another item is highly expected. To resolve this conflict between representations, the brain monitors the input to check for possible processing errors. A P600 was hypothesized t...

BACKGROUND Prevalence surveys of asthma and/or wheezing among all children aged between 7 1/2 and 8 1/2 attending state and private schools in the London Borough of Croydon were conducted in February 1978 and February 1991. Two population based case-control studies drawn from the survey responders were used to investigate the association between childhood wheeze and characteristics of the home ...

BACKGROUND Postural control allows performance of daily and sports activities. The previous studies show that postural sway inceases in orthopaedic injuries such as osteoarthritis and total knee arthroplasty. OBJECTIVE To compare postural sway, risk of falling and function between individuals with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFS). METHODS This study included 22 subjects with p...

The purpose of this study was to determine pillow designs suitable for supine and side-lying positions. [Subjects] Twenty female and twenty male subjects with a mean age of 22.7 years (SD = 1.3) participated in the study. [Methods] First, a three-dimensional motion analysis system was used to analyze the movements of the head and the shoulder joints during changes from supine positions to side-...
