Download or read book Wearable Systems Based Gait Monitoring and Analysis written by Shuo Gao and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-03-16 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wearable Systems Based Gait Monitoring and Analysis provides a thorough overview of wearable gait monitoring techniques and their use in health analysis. The text starts with an examination of the relationship between the human body’s physical condition and gait, and then introduces and explains nine mainstream sensing mechanisms, including piezoresistive, resistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, inductive, optical, air pressure, EMG and IMU-based architectures. Gait sensor design considerations in terms of geometry and deployment are also introduced. Diverse processing algorithms for manipulating sensors outputs to transform raw data to understandable gait features are discussed. Furthermore, gait analysis-based health monitoring demonstrations are given at the end of this book, including both medical and occupational applications. The book will enable students of biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, signal processing, and ergonomics and practitioners to understand the medical and occupational applications of engineering-based gait analysis and falling injury prevention methods.

Download or read book Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering Current Trends and Challenges written by Dorota G. Pijanowska and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains 13 chapters in which you can find various examples of the development of methods and/or systems supporting medical diagnostics and therapy, related to biomedical imaging, signal and image processing, biomechanics, biomaterials and artificial organs, modeling of biomedical systems, which, as the current research issues, were presented at the 22nd Polish BBE Conference held at the Nalecz Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, Polish Academy of Sciences, in May 2021. Obviously, it is not easy to recommend an interdisciplinary book as it may seem inconsistent in some respects. This is the case here because it concerns the area of biocybernetics and biomedical engineering (BBE), which is not only an interdisciplinary but even multidisciplinary science. On the other hand, the scattered subject matter of the book is its advantage, as the book may be of interest to an advanced and wide range of readers and researchers representing both medical, biological and technical points of view.

Download or read book Intelligent Systems and Applications written by Yaxin Bi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 1302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book presents a remarkable collection of chapters covering a wide range of topics in the areas of intelligent systems and artificial intelligence, and their real-world applications. It gathers the proceedings of the Intelligent Systems Conference 2019, which attracted a total of 546 submissions from pioneering researchers, scientists, industrial engineers, and students from all around the world. These submissions underwent a double-blind peer-review process, after which 190 were selected for inclusion in these proceedings. As intelligent systems continue to replace and sometimes outperform human intelligence in decision-making processes, they have made it possible to tackle a host of problems more effectively. This branching out of computational intelligence in several directions and use of intelligent systems in everyday applications have created the need for an international conference as a venue for reporting on the latest innovations and trends. This book collects both theory and application based chapters on virtually all aspects of artificial intelligence; presenting state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problems, along with a vision for future research, it represents a unique and valuable asset.

Download or read book Phantom Sensation and Pain Underlying Mechanisms and Innovative Treatments written by Jack Tsao and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major limb amputation affects a large number of people worldwide, with estimates in the United States as high as 2 million. One of the most common conditions following limb amputation is phantom limb sensation. The majority of patients who have undergone traumatic limb loss also experience phantom limb pain (PLP). There is no consensus on potential differences in the frequency or severity of phantom pain between men and women. This project is seeking out studies that look at the experience of PLP: what people feel, frequency and duration of PLP episodes, if there is a difference in experience between men and women, as well as if there is a relationship between PLP experiences and cause of amputation. Although PLP has been recognized since the mid-16th century, the etiology is still unknown. There are several proposed mechanisms, including learned paralysis, cortical reorganization, and proprioceptive memory. It has been proposed that the mechanism of learned paralysis, whereby PLP arises because the brain does not receive visual feedback that a motor movement has occurred, thus creating the sensation that the limb is paralyzed. Cortical reorganization theory states that areas near those corresponding to the amputated limb slowly expand into those corresponding to the amputated limb. This theory has been supported by the correlation of more severe PLP with increased neural plasticity. Proprioceptive memory refers to a theory that the brain remembers sensations associated with specific perceived positions of the phantom limb. While many treatments for PLP have yielded little success, mirror therapy (MT) appears to be a promising method for relieving PLP. Several small-scale studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of MY, with most patients seeing some reduction in PLP. One group performed the first randomized, sham-controlled study demonstrating that MT was more effective in reducing PLP in lower-limb amputees compared to covered mirror therapy or mental visualization of movements. The efficacy of nearly complete pain relief continued for at least 2 years after therapy. The physiological reason for mirror therapy’s effectiveness remains unknown, but the effectiveness would correspond with the theory of cortical reorganization in that MT would reset the original reorganization present in the brain before amputation and would also support the theory of proprioceptive memories in that it could remove recall of those memories. This project will discuss further investigation into the factors relating to success in MT, as well as the efficacy of MT in relation to proposed mechanisms that cause PLP. Discussion of other forms of novel treatment will also be included. This Research Topic attempts to further explain the etiology of phantom limb pain, better understand the experience of phantom limb pain, and explore treatment options for phantom limb pain. This project will include a review of the current understanding of phantom limb pain, its causes, and treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information modelling and knowledge bases have become ever more essential in recent years because of the need to handle and process the vast amounts of data which now form part of everyday life. The machine to machine communication of the Internet of Things (IoT), in particular, can generate unexpectedly large amounts of raw data. This book presents the proceedings of the 27th International Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases (EJC2017), held in Krabi, Thailand, in June 2017. The EJC conferences originally began in 1982 as a co-operative initiative between Japan and Finland, but have since become a world-wide research forum bringing together researchers and practitioners in information modelling and knowledge bases for the exchange of scientific results and achievements. Of the 42 papers submitted, 29 were selected for publication here, and these cover a wide range of information-modelling topics, including the theory of concepts, semantic computing, data mining, context-based information retrieval, ontological technology, image databases, temporal and spatial databases, document data management, software engineering, cross-cultural computing, environmental analysis, social networks, and WWW information. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves dealing with large amounts of data.
