This paper presents a novel calibration procedure as simple, yet powerful, method to place and align inertial sensors with body segments. The can be easily replicated without the need of any additional tools. proposed is validated in three different applications: computer mathematical simulation; simplified joint composed two semi-spheres interconnected by universal goniometer; real gait test five able-bodied subjects. Simulation results demonstrate that, after applied, angles are correctly...
Investigations of the biomechanical parameters robotic walker assisted gait are needed to allow modern rehabilitation strategies and improve further technological developments. In this study, spatio-temporal were assessed during normal ambulation with Simbiosis model, a forearm supports. Six infra-red video cameras, integrated in movement analysis system, used for three-dimensional reconstruction body segments measurement variables ambulation. Results showed that walker-assisted was marked...
The decline in neuromusculoskeletal capabilities of older adults can affect motor control, independence, and locomotion. Because the elderly population is increasing worldwide, assisting independent mobility improving rehabilitation therapies has become a priority. combination robotic devices virtual reality (VR) tools be used gait training to improve clinical outcomes, motivation, treatment adherence. Nevertheless, VR may associated with cybersickness changes kinematics. This paper analyzes...
INTRODUCTION:This study investigates a gait research protocol to assess the impact of walker model with forearm supports on kinematic parameters lower limb during locomotion. METHODS: Thirteen healthy participants without any history dysfunction were enrolled in experimental procedure. Spatiotemporal and calculated by using wireless inertial sensors analyzed Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA method was selected achieve dimension reduction evaluate main effects performance...
This paper presents a critical review of the state art robotic walkers, emphasizing on clinical applicability main features reported in such systems. A feature-based classification is proposed along with presentation possible scenarios, highlighting potential these devices for modern physical therapy practice. Based classification, development novel walker - UFES Walker most relevant controlled rehabilitation programs and, at same time, suitable functional compensation and domiciliary use.
The study of fatigue is an important tool for diagnostics disease, sports, ergonomics and robotics areas. This work deals with the analysis sEMG most muscle indicators use signal processing in isometric isotonic tasks propose standardizing protocol to select data acquisition diagnostic proposes. As a result, slope RMS, ARV MNF were successful describe behavior expected. Whereas that, MDF AIF failed description fatigue. Similarly, constant load was best strategy both tasks.
Neck pain is a high prevalent clinical disorder in the general population with significant economic burden. Muscle energy traditional manual therapy intervention for neck pain, but its effects on cervical spine kinematics are still lacking. Recent developments inertial sensors technology may contribute to advance current knowledge this field. The main objective of study investigate impact one session MET overall Range Motion (ROM) subjects presenting chronic non-specific pain. Seven random...
Francisco Salva Campillo read in December 16th, 1795 before the Academy of Sciences Barcelona paper "On application electricity to telegraphy". This is probably one first suggestions on possibility wireless telegraphy, as it recorded books written about history wireless. An account Salva's contributions telegraphy and his proposal presented.
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic musculoskeletal disturbance that poses major challenges for diagnostic procedures. It marked by constellation of symptoms, such as widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, osteoarthritis, among others. This work pilot study aims to validate tool analyzing sEMG signals specific muscles during the performance isotonic tasks. protocol with people affected fibromyalgia. The objective was indentify behavior five fatigue indicators: RMS, ARV, MNF, MDF and IAF,...
The high densities and complex arrays of joint mechanoreceptors muscle spindles the cervical spine suggest that disturbances such structures may change proprioceptive information to neuromuscular system thus, play a key role in neck presentation. Errors head positioning arise response are considered be clinical sign somatosensory impairment. objective this study is compare performance commercial 3D inertial measurement unit (IMU) with static photogrammetry relocation accuracy test sagittal...
Conventional survey methods for position and azimuth as practised in the Royal Artillery, although sufficiently accurate, were slow expensive manpower, while vehicle-navigation systems based on distance measurement by odometer directional gyros not accurate. In early 1970s therefore a General Staff Requirement was issued an equipment designated PADS (Position Azimuth Determining System) which would provide necessary combination of speed accuracy gun batteries observation posts, may have to...
