Squat Posture (a yogic posture) is considered as one of the closed kinetic exercises that is used for evaluation process or test by physiotherapists/clinicians/others associated with rehabilitation of athletes to strengthen the lower-body. It is used most frequently in strength and conditioning exercises. A wide range of athletic movements have biomechanical and neuromuscular similarity to squa...

a number of studies have investigated the effect of age, trauma, disease and fatigue on cervical joint position sense. however, there is an absence in data regarding the role of posture on proprioception. the aim of the current study was to investigate the effect of forward head posture (fhp) on cervical joint position sense. twenty forward head posture volunteers (14 women, 6 men), with the me...

Aim: To evaluate the effect to the degree of temporomandibular dysfunctions (TMD) in adolescents and occlusal classes in the cervical posture. Methods: A cross-section, observational study was carried out, in which 296 adolescents took part. For the evaluation, the patients were divided into groups according to the presence and severity of the TMD, using the Helkimo questionnaire and occlusal A...

In this paper, we evaluate the effects of monetary policy on inflation and unemployment under different institutional arrangements in the labor market. We show that the effects of monetary policy on the real economy depend critically on the wage formation regime, and on the ways in which the restrictiveness of policy interacts with product price competition, wage setting centralization and the ...

INTRODUCTION As computing devices drop in size and rise in power/bandwidth, novel interface techniques are needed to keep pace. Interfaces which rely on screens and keyboards/handwriting are not always effective in mobile computing scenarios. Visual displays are wasted on eyes engaged in navigational tasks such as walking or driving. Similarly, keyboards and handwriting-based interfaces are dif...

I n this paper we discuss an autonomous locomotion control of a snalce-like articulated robot with passive wheels. Such a robot has quite different mechanism in locomotion from that of other locomotion systems, namely, it has no driving wheel and moves only b y bending its body. Hence the locomotability depends on i ts posture. I n order to evaluate the locomotability, we utilize and a notion o...
