Classification algorithms for body posture

2017 IEEE 5th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH), 2017
Bad posture while working or playing videogames can affect our life quality and impose negative economic consequences over time. There's raising concern in companies regarding worker's wellness, many adopting preventive measures. Specialized training in posture is important to prevent occupational activities risks and to foster health promotion.

POSTURE IN THE AGING AND AGED BODY

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1957
"Animals have shapes and forms. Only man has posture..." 1 The routinely renewed achievement of the complex mechanisms of the upright posture affirms the substantial quality of this human adaptation. This evolutionary accomplishment attracted a roster of students whose observations parallel the most advanced thinking of the past three centuries.

Reflex control of body posture in standing

2017 IEEE-RAS 17th International Conference on Humanoid Robotics (Humanoids), 2017
Human body as a segmented inverted pendulum is an unstable system needing posture control for balancing. Using the inverted pendulum as a template representing human balance in quiet standing, neuromuscular models can be employed for understanding posture control. Feedback control is implemented in human neuromuscular systems by reflex signals. In this

Effect of body posture on lung volumes

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1961
The changes produced by body posture on total lung capacity and its subdivisions have been reported for all positions except the prone position. Twenty normal subjects, twelve males and eight females, had determinations of total lung capacity in the three body positions, sitting, supine and prone.

The influence of body posture on lithium clearance

Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investigation, 1988
To establish appropriate standard circumstances for lithium clearance measurements, a study was undertaken in 12 healthy volunteers. In each subject, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), as estimated by [51Cr]EDTA plasma clearance, and the renal clearances of lithium, sodium and potassium were measured four times at 1-week intervals: two in the supine

Body Sway Stabilization in Human Posture

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1990
Electromyographic (emg) responses and joint movements of the leg were analysed in subjects standing with eyes closed on a sinusoidally moving treadmill (0.16 Hz or 0.33 Hz, amplitude 33 cm). Activity in antagonistic leg muscles was reciprocally modulated, with a predominant gastrocnemius activation during deceleration of forward movement and tibialis ...

Nervous mechanisms controlling body posture

Physiology & Behavior, 2007
This paper briefly summarizes the studies of nervous mechanisms controlling the body posture, which were performed in the Department of Neuroscience of the Karolinska Institute during the last decade. Postural mechanisms were investigated in "animal models" of different complexity--the mollusk, lamprey, rabbit, and cat.

Effect of body posture on respiratory impedance

Journal of Applied Physiology, 1988
The effects of posture on the mechanics of the respiratory system are not well known, particularly in terms of total respiratory resistance. We have measured respiratory impedance (Zrs) by the forced random noise excitation technique in the sitting and the supine position in 24 healthy subjects. Spirometry and lung volumes (He-dilution technique) were
