More than half of college students self-report some kind anxiety and depression. This study reports how a university course that incorporated structured self-experience practices may reduce symptoms self-reported associated with stress strain. Ninety-eight Junior Senior were enrolled in Holistic Health class focused on “whole-person” curriculum included the exploration psychobiology stress, rol...

Taping is commonly used in the conservative treatment of shoulder impingement syndrome. However, the underlying mechanism of taping and its effect on kinematics are not yet understood and there is little evidence to support its use. There are two main taping techniques used in physical rehabilitation, Rigid and Elastic taping. In this study, a motion capture system was used to track reflective ...

A Bayesian adaptive procedure for estimating the auditory-filter shape was proposed and evaluated using young, normal-hearing listeners at moderate stimulus levels. The resulting quick-auditory-filter (qAF) procedure assumed the power spectrum model of masking with the auditory-filter shape being modeled using a spectrally symmetric, two-parameter rounded-exponential (roex) function. During dat...

ABSTRACT Introduction Exercise methods with incorrect posture or inadequate repetitive movements may cause irreversible long-term body damage. There is a growing interest in ergonomics martial arts, but taekwondo lacks studies. Objective Evaluate the postural impact on injuries and rehabilitation athletes. Methods 13 team members from sports academy had their injury characteristics evaluated. R...

Supporting the forearm on the work surface during keyboard operation may increase comfort, decrease muscular load of the neck and shoulders, and decrease the time spent in ulnar deviation. Wrist rests are used widely in the workplace and are more commonly being incorporated in keyboard design. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of wrist rest use on wrist posture during forearm supp...

CONTEXT Isokinetic assessment of shoulder internal-(IR) and external-rotator (ER) strength is commonly used with many different postures (sitting, standing, or supine) and shoulder positions (frontal or scapular plane with 45° or 90° of abduction). OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review to determine the influence of position on the intersession reliability of the assessment of IR and ER iso...

The analysis of the student's environment is a set stressors in field human ecology, which includes not only genetic factor but also epigenetic factor. plays significant role development biomechanical disorders body posture. According to these factors posture tests were carried out group 65 students aged 7 years, using projection moiré method 4 positions: 1-habitual posture, 2-posture after 10-...

This study investigated the correlation between the neck disability index (NDI) and visual analogue scale (VAS), which are indicators of neck pain, shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), and muscle strength in women with a slight forward head posture. This study was carried out on 42 female college students attending Uiduk University in Gyeongju, Korea. The neck pain and disability index for eac...

Worker posture, task time and performance are often affected when one-handed manual dexterous tasks performed in small overhead spaces under an obscured view. A common method used for supplementing visual feedback these cases is a hand-held telescopic mirror, but that involves working with both arms extended overhead, accompanied by awkward neck shoulder postures. video camera was considered as...

Spectral analysis of continuously measured joint angles using an electrogoniometer was considered as a potentially efficient method for quantifying exposure to physical stress in repetitive manual work. The method was previously demonstrated in the laboratory but has not yet been tested extensively in the field. Spectral analysis was compared against observational analysis, consisting of time-a...
