ErgoReport: A Holistic Posture Assessment Framework Based on Inertial Data and Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Awkward postures are a significant contributor to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs), which represent great social and economic burdens. Various posture assessment tools assess WRMSD risk but fall short in providing an elucidating risk b...

Layer-by-Layer Self-Assembled Honeycomb Structure Flexible Pressure Sensor Array for Gait Analysis and Motion Posture Recognition with the Assistance of the ResNet-50 Neural Network.

ACS sensors
With the rapid emergence of flexible electronics, flexible pressure sensors are of importance in various fields. In this study, a dopamine-modified melamine sponge (MS) was used to prepare a honeycomb structure of carbon black (CB)/MXene-silicone rub...

HybrIK-X: Hybrid Analytical-Neural Inverse Kinematics for Whole-Body Mesh Recovery.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Recovering whole-body mesh by inferring the abstract pose and shape parameters from visual content can obtain 3D bodies with realistic structures. However, the inferring process is highly non-linear and suffers from image-mesh misalignment, resulting...

Robotic beds for the treatment of positional obstructive sleep apnea - A randomized cross-over pilot trial.

Sleep medicine
BACKGROUND: Interventions leading to avoidance of supine position and thus reducing the likelihood of upper airway collapse during sleep are a treatment approach for positional obstructive sleep apnea (POSA). The aim of this randomized cross-over tri...

Machine learning-enhanced back muscle strength prediction considering lifting condition and individual characteristics.

International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics : JOSE
This study investigated factors influencing back muscle strength, focusing on sex, forearm posture and lifting height. Lower back pain, prevalent in industries involving manual materials handling, is closely linked to back muscle strength. The study ...

Locomotion design of transverse ledge brachiation robot with active wrist joint for lateral posture compensation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A transverse ledge brachiation robot is designed to move transversely along a ledge on a vertical wall by generating energy from the swinging motion of its lower limbs. This method reduces the force required by the upper limbs to propel the robot for...

Human sleep position classification using a lightweight model and acceleration data.

Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung
PURPOSE: This exploratory study introduces a portable, wearable device using a single accelerometer to monitor twelve sleep positions. Targeted for home use, the device aims to assist patients with mild conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux dise...

Ocular-induced abnormal head postures: A systematic review and analysis.

Survey of ophthalmology
Abnormal head postures (AHPs) are frequently adopted as compensatory mechanisms by individuals affected by various ocular diseases to optimize the utilization of their visual field or alleviate symptoms such as diplopia. We review the causal relation...

Pedestrian POSE estimation using multi-branched deep learning pose net.

PloS one
In human activity-recognition scenarios, including head and entire body pose and orientations, recognizing the pose and direction of a pedestrian is considered a complex problem. A person may be traveling in one sideway while focusing his attention o...

Using Inertial Measurement Units and Machine Learning to Classify Body Positions of Adults in a Hospital Bed.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In hospitals, timely interventions can prevent avoidable clinical deterioration. Early recognition of deterioration is vital to stopping further decline. Measuring the way patients position themselves in bed and change their positions may signal when...
