Estimation of Human Body Shape and Posture Under Clothing [PDF]

Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 127, pp. 31-42, 2014, 2013
Estimating the body shape and posture of a dressed human subject in motion represented as a sequence of (possibly incomplete) 3D meshes is important for virtual change rooms and security. To solve this problem, statistical shape spaces encoding human body shape and posture variations are commonly used to constrain the search space for the shape ...

A Pinned Polymer Model of Posture Control [PDF]

, 1995
A phenomenological model of human posture control is posited. The dynamics are modelled as an elastically pinned polymer under the influence of noise. The model accurately reproduces the two-point correlation functions of experimental posture data and makes predictions for the response function of the postural control system.

Differential postural effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions [PDF]

Experimental Brain Research (2008) 1-31, 2008
The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions. To address this objective, young male university students were asked to stand upright as still as possible with their eyes closed in two ...

Transcranial direct current stimulation combined with physical or cognitive training in people with Parkinson’s disease: a systematic review

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Pharmacologic therapy is the primary treatment used to manage Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms. However, it becomes less effective with time and some symptoms do not respond to medication.
