Around 50 billion dollars is spent yearly on therapy for low back pain in the United States alone. Low back pain is one of the most common reasons for doctor visits. Having poor posture has been found to be a main cause of lower back pain…
Poor sitting habits have been identified as a risk factor to musculoskeletal disorders and lower back pain especially on the elderly, disabled people, and office workers. In the current computerized world, even while involved in leisure or…
The employees health and wellbeing are an actual topic in our fast-moving world. The employers losing money when their employees suffer from different health problems and cannot work. The major problem is the spinal pain caused by the poor…
Recent research has focused on the risks associated with poor sitting posture and the impact of sitting on biological parameters, such as heart rate because prolonged sitting is common across all ages and professions. In this work, we…
Poor sitting posture can lead to various work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). Office employees spend approximately 81.8% of their working time seated, and sedentary behavior can result in chronic diseases such as cervical…
Poor posture has become an increasingly prevalent concern due to students and workers spending extended amounts of time sitting at a desk. To address this issue, we developed PoseTrack, a mobile application that uses a Raspberry Pi Camera…
Prolonged seated activity is increasingly common in modern environments, raising concerns around musculoskeletal health, ergonomics, and the design of responsive interactive systems. Existing posture sensing methods such as vision-based or…
Poor posture is a significant concern due to its detrimental effects on health and productivity. This paper presents a collar-clipped device called PostureClip, designed to restrict users from sitting and working at a bent angle, by…
Advances in mobile computing have paved the way for the development of several health applications using smartphone as a platform for data acquisition, analysis and presentation. Such areas where mhealth systems have been extensively…
Improper sitting posture during prolonged computer use has become a significant public health concern. Traditional posture monitoring solutions face substantial barriers, including privacy concerns with camera-based systems and user…
Although ankle injuries resulting from postural instability are frequently observed during high-speed and intense physical activities, most current research has been limited to static or quasi-static models of the lower limb, or has focused…
This paper describes a novel approach in human robot interaction driven by ergonomics. With a clear focus on optimising ergonomics, the approach proposed here continuously observes a human user's posture and by invoking appropriate…
This research focuses on developing a real-time posture monitoring and risk assessment system for manual lifting tasks using advanced AI and computer vision technologies. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a significant concern for…
Falls during daily ambulation activities are a leading cause of injury in older adults due to delayed physiological responses to disturbances of balance. Lower-limb exoskeletons have the potential to mitigate fall incidents by detecting and…
There exist significant gaps in research about how to design efficient in-bed lying posture tracking systems. These gaps can be articulated through several research questions as follows. First, can we design a single-sensor, pervasive, and…
Purpose: Conventional robotic ultrasound systems were utilized with patients in supine positions. Meanwhile, the limitation of the systems is that it is difficult to evacuate the patients in case of emergency (e.g., patient discomfort and…
Low back pain (LBP) is a pervasive global health challenge, affecting approximately 80% of adults and frequently progressing into chronic or recurrent episodes. While exercise therapy is a primary clinical intervention, traditional at-home…
The stability of standing in humans is a complex process that leads to maintaining the upright position against external disturbances. Balance control during standing is of vital importance for humans in daily life. An issue that is still…
Sedentary behavior poses a major public health risk, being strongly linked to obesity, cardiovascular disease, and other chronic conditions. Accurately estimating sitting time is therefore critical for monitoring and improving individual…
Vibration transmission is essential in the design of comfortable vehicle seats but knowledge is lacking on 3D trunk and head motion and the role of seat back and posture. We hypothesized that head motion is reduced when participants upper…
