A Movement Decomposition and Machine Learning-Based Fall Detection System Using Wrist Wearable Device

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2018
Falls in the elderly is a world health problem. Although many fall detection solutions were presented in literature, few of them are wrist-wearable devices, mainly due to typical processing and classification challenges to achieve accuracy greater than ...

Biomechanics of the Wrist

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1980
The wrist joint is a complex linkage between forearm and hand which is capable of an impressive arc of motion yet retaining a remarkable degree of stability. Carpal stability is derived from numerous intra-and intercarpal ligaments in addition to closely approximated wrist flexors and extensors.

MRI of the wrist

Clinical Imaging, 2000
In the past, the diagnostic imaging algorithm for evaluating the painful wrist included initial plain radiographic examination followed by arthrography, tomography, bone scintigraphy, or computed tomography. In recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been proven efficacious for diagnosing a number of maladies of the bones, ligaments, and ...

Stiffness of the Wrists

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1968
To the Editor:— Commenting on the remarks of Dr. Carl V. Granger, who replied to the note on "Morning 'stiffness,'" there is much to be said for his point of view. The numbness and stiffness occurring in the hands after a night's sleep may occur because of pressure from swelling on the median nerve as it passes through the carpal tunnel. Such swelling

Biomechanics of the Wrist

Journal of Hand Therapy, 1995
This article summarizes six years of studies with an experimental model, which uses a static positioning frame, pressure-sensitive film, and a microcomputer-based videodigitizing system, to characterize the biomechanics of the human cadaver wrist by measuring the contact areas and pressures in a variety of normal, simulated traumatic, and surgically ...

Denervation of the Wrist

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1983
In a series of 48 painfully restricted wrists denervation was used during a 6-year period on wide indications as a surgical alternative. The observation time averaged 2.4 years. Pain relief occurred in 56% of the patients. Considering the simplicity of the method and the lack of serious complications, it is concluded that denervation of the wrist is ...

Osteoarthritis of the Wrist

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2014
This article reviews pathogenesis and treatment of wrist osteoarthritis. Because there is no cure for osteoarthritis, treatment is directed at symptomatic relief. Surgical treatment is reserved for patients who have failed nonoperative modalities. This article reviews the surgical treatment of wrist osteoarthritis with an emphasis on selection of the ...
