Wstęp: Epidemia COVID-19 przyczyniła się do zasadniczej zmiany stylu życia oraz sposobu nauki i pracy, co potencjalnie może prowadzić poważnych konsekwencji zdrowotnych, zwłaszcza w kontekście dolegliwości mięśniowo-
Objectives: The circadian system is the main regulator of almost all human physiological processes.The aim this study was to assess sleep in working population, relation share remote working.Material and Methods: An online survey conducted among students staff representing 3 universities Łódź, Poland (N = 1209).The participants were divided into groups according percentage time they worked remotely.Group I consisted respondents performing tasks remotely for ≤45% their time; group II included...
The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) has increased significantly in recent years. COVID-19 pandemic led to a fundamental change the lifestyles, ways learning and working patterns general population, which turn, might lead health consequences. aim this study was evaluate conditions e-learning impact modality on occurrence symptoms among university students Poland. This cross-sectional included 914 who completed an anonymous questionnaire. questions covered two time periods...
This study investigates the agreement between two methods used for assessment of human balance system. Static posturography based on tensometers, using a commercially available platform, is as reference method. An alternative approach portable prototype MediPost system that utilises inertial sensors developed by authors. Both approaches determine movement subject's centre mass, quantifying this in terms angular speed. Data evaluation were obtained from 205 subjects, with each subject...
Abstract This study compares HS posturography on inertial sensors (MediPost) with force platform in patients unilateral vestibular dysfunction. The group included 38 (age 50.6; SD 11.6) weakness (UV) and 65 healthy volunteers (48.7; 11.5). tests were performed simultaneously the plate MediPost sensor attached at L4. Four conditions applied: eyes open/closed, firm/foam. twice, head moving frequency of 0.3 Hz (HS 0.3) 0.6 0.6). Mean sway velocity was significantly lower for than 4th condition...
Balance disorders are a growing problem worldwide. Thus, there is an increasing need to provide inexpensive and feasible alternative standard posturographic platforms (SP) used for the assessment of balance possible solution telemonitoring patients. A novel mobile posturography (MP) MediPost device was developed address these issues. This prospective study Modified Clinical Test Sensory Interaction on evaluate healthy individuals patients with unilateral vestibular disorder through SP MP...
This paper presents a fall risk assessment approach based on fast mobility test, automatically evaluated using low-cost, scalable system for the recording and analysis of body movement. test has never before been investigated as sole source data assessment. It can be performed in very limited space needs only minimal additional equipment, yet provides large amounts information, presented obtain much more than traditional observation by capturing minute details regarding The readings are...
The aim of our study was to validate the method head-shake static posturography (HS-posturography) in healthy individuals and establish value this novel diagnostics patients with unilateral vestibular lesion (UV). included 202 participants divided into two groups, one consisting 133 canal paresis CP > 19% 69 subjects. Participant tested according standard protocol (SP), head movements 0.3 Hz (HS 40), 0.6 70) random order controlled by a metronome. HS-posturography revealed similar...
The article presents the concept of detecting subjects with balance disorders by use machine learning techniques. proposed solution has been developed and tested based on a group 40 subjects, included both patients uncompensated dysfunction in vestibular system healthy volunteers. Presence was verified prior to study detailed clinical examination. data for were collected miniature micromachine sensors, mounted body at selected locations. task performed consisted free gait over distance three...
Vestibular dysfunction is a disturbance of the body’s balance system. The control and gait has particular influence on quality life. Currently, assessing patients with these problems mainly subjective. New assessment options using wearables may provide complementary more objective information. Posturography makes it possible to determine extent type posture dysfunction, which plan monitor effectiveness physical rehabilitation therapy. This study evaluates non-instrumental clinical tests...
The posturography test allows assessment of the entire function balance system and quantitative, device-based verification clinical Romberg test. Therefore, aim this study is usefulness as primary for disorders in occupational medicine.The cross-sectional, analyzing anonymous results 1030 patients reporting dizziness disorders. Based on symptoms, examination videonystagmography were classified into subgroups: benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV [N = 130]), non compensated (NS 82]) (S...
Abstract Background The environment in which we live is thought to explain 70% of the non-communicable disease burden. aim EXPANSE project (funded from European Union Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 874627) evaluate optimal strategies for maintaining health context contemporary urban environments. As a component project, Urban Labs allow deep phenotyping exposome assessing its use perception. improve exposure assessment, identify mediating modifying...

Abstract Vestibular impairments affect patients' movements and can result in difficulties with daily life activities. The main aim of this study is to answer the question whether a simple short test such as rotation about vertical axis be an objective method assessing balance dysfunction patients unilateral vestibular impairments. A 360˚ was performed using six MediPost devices. analysis three ways: (1) analytical approach based only on data from one sensor; (2) sensors; (3) artificial...
Early life is a crucial window of opportunity to improve health across the course. The prospective cohort study design most adequate evaluate longitudinal effects exposure, notification changes in exposure level and evaluation simultaneous impact various exposures, as well assessment several trajectories throughout childhood adolescence. This paper provides an overview Polish Mother Child (REPRO_PL), with particular emphasis on Phase IV this study. REPRO_PL conducted central Europe, where...
