Bioelectrical impedance analysis revisited.
Although total limb volume measurements are used to track the progress of lymphedema and its treatment, these measurements can be confounded by changes other than fluid excess namely muscle or fat gain. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a technique that specifically quantifies both total body fluid and extracellular fluid in extremities. Whereas BIA has potential as a quick, inexpensive...
متن کاملThe Application of Bioelectrical Impedance to Monitor Leg Movement
The purpose of this study is to provide a new approach for detection using bio-impedance. This impedance is measured by the four-electrode method. As the impedance changes resulting from ankle, knee, and hip movements depended heavily on electrode placement, we determined the optimal electrode configurations for those movements by searching for high correlation coefficients, large impedance cha...
متن کاملThe novel application of artificial neural network on bioelectrical impedance analysis to assess the body composition in elderly
BACKGROUND This study aims to improve accuracy of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) prediction equations for estimating fat free mass (FFM) of the elderly by using non-linear Back Propagation Artificial Neural Network (BP-ANN) model and to compare the predictive accuracy with the linear regression model by using energy dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as reference method. METHODS A total ...
متن کاملBody composition: validity of segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis.
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) measures the impedance associated with passage of an alternating current through the body which is proportional to total body water (TBW) and therefore can provide expedient estimates of body composition. However, little validity information is available for commercially available bathroom scale type devices which perform whole body estimates from segmenta...
متن کاملBioelectrical Impedance Analysis A Healthcare Technology of the Future
Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an inexpensive, quick and non-invasive technique for measuring body composition. Unlike other various complicated methods, bioimpedance measurement technique is simple and less time consuming for various applications including medicine, biotechnology and security system. BIA is a promising method for predicting changes in body composition and has the p...
