We propose a linear regression model for the estimation of human body measurements. The input to only consists information that person can self-estimate, such as height and weight. evaluate our against state-of-the-art approaches measurement from point clouds images, demonstrate comparable performance with best methods, even outperform several deep learning models on public datasets. simplicity proposed makes it perfectly suitable baseline in addition convenience applications virtual try-on....
Abstract The purpose of this study was to examine the kinematic and kinetic differences sprint start first two steps between faster slower high-level sprinters. Twelve male sprinters were dichotomized according personal best 60- 100-m times. Each participant performed five starts under constant conditions. An eight-camera system used for 3-D analysis. Dynamic forces at determined with starting blocks mounted on bipedal force plates. Measures front rear block total force, maximal time peak...
University students are a particularly vulnerable population, as they spend increasing amounts of time sitting, which poses major threat to their musculoskeletal health and posture. The aim this cross-sectional study was investigate gender differences in the relationships between physical activity (PA) sedentary behavior, spinal curvatures mobility, endurance balance trunk muscles, possible presence non-specific low back pain (NS-LBP) young adults aged 18-25 years.
Although the measurements of lumbar spine and pelvic flexion have shown that subjects with radiculopathy exhibited greater decreases motion when compared low back pain, there is still a lack evidence regarding changes in relaxation ratio patients radiculopathy. The aims this study were to investigate pelvis pain (LBP) LBP (LBPR) comparison healthy (CG—control group). A total 146 participants divided three groups: (54 males; 21 females); LBPR (26 11 CG (16 18 females). was recorded using...
The aim of the study was to establish major dynamic parameters as well EMG activation muscles in a sprint start first derivative velocity. subject analysis block velocity, production force front and rear starting blocks, acceleration two steps electromyographic activity (EMG) following muscles: erector spinae muscle, gluteus maximus rectus femoris vastus medialis lateralis biceps muscle gastrocnemius–medialis muscle. One international-class female sprinter participated experiment. She...
Physical inactivity and sedentary behavior are associated with poor well-being in young people adverse effects extending into adulthood. To date, there many studies investigating the relationship between physical activity (PA) posture, but no data on type intensity of PA behavior, their association thoracic lumbar spine angles, endurance balance trunk muscles, especially healthy adults aged 18-25 years. Moreover, musculoskeletal cardiopulmonary health, as well quality life (QoL) sleep that...
The Reg genes play a major role in the regeneration of various tissues; however, no reports have been published regarding expression Reg3G gene skeletal muscle. In this study we investigated rat muscle and injured nerves.We used 3 experimental models nerve injury. RT-PCR Western blot analysis were performed for detection regenerating nerve.We found transcriptional activation soleus extensor digitorum longus muscles their corresponding nerves after both injury different time periods,...
Low back pain (LBP) is a global health-problem phenomenon. Most patients are categorized as non-specific, thus requiring an individualized approach which still poses major challenge. In this paper, sEMG recordings from two pairs of lumbar muscle sites were collected during isometric trunk extension exercise. Ninety-one subjects included in the study; 29 with non-specific chronic LBP (CLBP), 25 radiculopathy (RLBP), and 37 control healthy (HS). Six best-performing time-domain raw features...
This study proposes a method to calibrate 3D kinematic systems. The authors briefly address typical wand-based calibration, that is, calibration using rigid bar, both from the computational point of view and procedural perspective, then they define their alternative way calibration. proposed takes advantage feature presently used tools, orthogonality wands. usual two steps in wand are reduced single one. In addition, propose an for how enforce typically available geometric constraint, known...
The classification potential of surface electromyographic (EMG) parameters needs to be explored beyond subjects onto low back pain and control subjects. In this paper, a model based on EMG parameter is introduced differentiate patients with radiculopathy from chronic (CLBP) A variant the Roman chair was used perform static contractions, where subject's own upper body weight induce muscle fatigue in muscles. Surface signals were recorded over paraspinal muscles at L1–L2 L4–L5 interspace...

It is generally accepted that muscles may activate via the common nociceptive flexion reflex (NFR) in response to painful stimuli associated with tensile or compressive forces on peripheral nerves. Following basic assumption radial nerve be stressed around elbow during execution of Mills manipulation, t wo positions considered have different mechanical effects and brachial plexus were tested order i) explore whether are activated certain patterns concomitant changes tension, ii) establish...
