Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page # 965–970, 2021; DOI: 10.25046/aj0602110

Abstract:

Early detection and proper management of adult degenerative scoliosis (ADS) are important for health promotion. This study aims to develop an ADS screening tool from markerless digital photography and verify its reliability. The study included 17 participants. Outer canthus–horizontal angle (OHA) and trapezius–horizontal angle (THA) were calculated from the image of the upper body of…

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 5, Issue 5, Page # 1093–1098, 2020; DOI: 10.25046/aj0505133

Abstract:

Caregivers experience lower back pain due to their awkward postures while handling patients. Therefore, a monitoring system to supervise caregivers’ postures using wearable sensors is being developed. This study proposed a postural recognition method for caregivers during postural change while handling a patient on a bed. The proposed method recognizes foot positions and arm movements…
