Smart Objects (SOs) are products that can exchange information about themselves and the environment due to IOT (Internet of Things) technologies. SOs use IOT technologies for increasing features of traditional objects by communicating and sharing knowledge with the environment. Few pilot applications are currently developed for preventing accidents at workplace. In this study, a preliminary analysis...
Human motion analysis technologies have been widely employed to identify injury determining factors and provide objective and quantitative feedback to athletes to help prevent injury. However, most of these technologies are: expensive, restricted to laboratory environments, and can require significant post processing. This reduces their ecological validity, adoption and usefulness. In this paper,...
The number of serious games are on the rise while, at the same time, there is a paucity of serious game evaluations. More specifically, literature searches for “serious games” and “operational knowledge” are lacking. This paper presents results from a pilot study focused on the burgeoning problem of All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV) injuries and to what extent, if any, a digital game intervention impacts...
For the past decade, the discussion of occupational electrical safety in the U.S. has largely focused on compliance with NFPA70E, Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace. Without taking away from the importance of the requirements in the standard, this paper describes a more comprehensive solution, based on proven concepts known as systems safety. The paper provides an overview of systems...
Lacerations occur frequently in numerous common environments, but the mechanisms by which they are generated remain unclear. This makes it difficult for designers to create products that can prevent such injuries. Although a significant number of studies have dealt with injury prevention from the standpoint of avoiding bone fractures, lacerations have yet to be thoroughly investigated and a scientific...
Although several individuals in the United States (US) were working on lightning safety efforts, it was not until the early 1990's that researchers from many fields of study began to work together as they became aware of others with similar interests. The first organized effort on a national scale was in 1998 when a multidisciplinary group of recognized lightning researchers and experts met at an...
This paper discusses various practical difficulties of implementing internationally and nationally recognized lightning protection standards on small shelters. In aiming to minimize human injuries and deaths due to lightning related accidents for people who take shelter in unprotected structures during thunderstorms, this study proposes out-of-the-box solutions that may save many lives in societies...
Real-time physiological monitoring of athletes during sporting events has tremendous potential for maximizing player performance while preventing burn-out and injury, and also enabling exciting new applications such as referee-assist services and enhanced television broadcast. Emerging advanced monitoring devices have the right combination of light weight and unobtrusive size to allow truly non-intrusive...
In this study, an infant behavior control model is developed to prevent infant injuries by changing environmental factors. Infant climbing behaviors that can lead to fall injuries are the primary focus of the control model. Based on observed behavioral data, the probabilistic causal relationships between object attributes, infant characteristics, and climbing behaviors were modeled as a Bayesian Network...
In sports applications, the use of real time motion monitoring and biofeedback is vital for efficient training, technique improvements and reduce the risk of injuries. This paper proposes a novel approach for monitoring and improving jump landing technique based on lower extremity kinematics. The system consists of wearable inertial sensors, a custom developed software for data processing and a wireless...
A 3D biomechanical model with a novel instrumented Lofstrand crutch system is presented. The novel Lofstrand crutch system consists of two six-axis load cells incorporated in the crutch to study the reaction forces occurring at the crutch handle and the cuff. The goal of this study is to quantify the effect of the cuff forces with the help of this improved crutch system. The kinematic model developed...
Investigation of the knee injuries for Wushu and Sanda athletes, to explore the causes and provides relevant information that should assist in the prevention of the occurrence or lower the severity of the injury.
We report on the design, testing and implementation of a novel birthing simulator developed specifically to research the delivery process and improve clinical training in uncommon but inevitable complicated human births. The simulator consists of a maternal model and an instrumented fetal model, used in conjunction with an existing force-sensing system and a data-acquisition system. The maternal model...
