This study developed models that automatically recognize proper / improper sitting postures using accelerometer readings from some human spinal points (thoracic, thoracolumbar and lumbar) through small, thin, and lightweight smartphones attached at those points, and by using a web camera which detects the upper body points' location and distances (chin, manubrium and acromion process). It also established...
This study deals with posture analysis, human Posture Analysis focuses on how human posture can affect task performance by analyzing local and global postures, preferred angles, and comfort. Thus by analyzing the posture of individual through photography with appropriate position (such as aligning the subjects to stand in back coronal pose) and obtaining the image in mathematical tool, and then quantization...
To understand how good posture minimizes computer related injury's pain, we developed Postuino. A device that warns the computer users if they are leaning too close towards computer screen. Postuino has an accompanying web application that visualizes the collected data and displays a chart to simplify comparing between straight time and slouch time. Also, the app suggests taking frequent breaks to...
Maintaining proper posture is a simple and effective way to keep the back healthy. Extended periods of poor posture may lead to unnecessary muscle strain and unhealthy spine stress. Over time, the anatomical characteristics of the spine can change, which may cause blood vessel and nerve constriction as well as muscle, disc, and joint troubles. These issues are important contributors to back and neck...
Spine curvature and posture are important to sustain healthy back. Incorrect spine configuration can add strain to muscles and put stress on the spine, leading to low back pain (LBP). We propose new method for analyzing spine curvature in 3D, using CT imaging. The proposed method is based on two novel concepts: the spine curvature is derived from spinal canal centerline, and evaluation of the curve...
