Trunk control in unstable sitting posture during functional activities Running Title : Balance in sitting

Objectives: To examine trunk stability in unstable sitting posture in two different functional activities. Design: A randomized crossover design. Participants: Ten healthy subjects and ten patients suffering from MS. Interventions: A task in which the subjects had to keep their trunk as stable as possible was compared with tasks in which they had to track an object with the head or grasp an obj...

Is 'ideal' sitting posture real? Measurement of spinal curves in four sitting postures.

There is a lack of quantitative evidence for spinal postures that are advocated as 'ideal' in clinical ergonomics for sitting. This study quantified surface spinal curves and examined whether subjects could imitate clinically 'ideal' directions of spinal curve at thoraco-lumbar and lumbar regions: (i) flat - at both regions (ii) long lordosis - lordotic at both regions (iii) short lordosis - th...

Sitting Posture Recognition and Location Estimation for Human-Aware Environment

Realization of human-computer symbiosis is an important idea in the context of ubiquitous computing. Symbiotic Computing is a concept that bridges the gap between situations in Real Space (RS) and data in Digital Space (DS). The main purpose is to develop an intelligent software application as well as establish the next generation information platform to develop the symbiotic system. In this pa...
