Key posture design is commonly needed in computer animation. This paper presents an automatic and interactive whole body posture designing technique by combining the PIK (prioritized inverse kinematics) with the proposed parametric human posture splicing technique. The key feature of PIK is that the user can design a posture by adding high level constraints with different priorities. However, t...

Background: The supine head-down tilt position is routinely used in intensive care when inserting a central venous catheter to increase the lumen of the jugular or subclavian vein and to prevent air embolism during this procedure or to correct severe hypotension. The head-down tilt position is credited to the German surgeon Friedrich Trendelenburg (1844–1924), and is consequently named after hi...

purpose: to determine the effect of horizontal recti surgery on visual acuity and head posture and electronystagmographic indices in patients with congenital nystagmus. methods: this prospective comparative case series was conducted on 58 patients with congenital nystagmus who were referred to our clinic over three years. patients were divided into three groups: the first group (29 cases) had h...

objectives: the aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of conservative treatment in patients with and without cervical ribs and thoracic outlet syndrome (tos). from so many kinds of conservative treatment in literature, we used a multidisciplinary approach (correction of posture, maximizing muscle endurance and power, stretch shorten muscles, massage for trigger points and maximize th...

<p>Finding the most significant determinant variable of arms dynamic is highly required due to strategic policies formulations and power mapping for academics policy makers. Machine learning still new or underdiscussed among study politics international relations. Existing literature have much focus on using advanced quantitative methods by applying various types regression analysis. This...

background: rounded shoulder posture is a common abnormal posture in upper quarter. kinesiotape is a new intervention that recently used in rehabilitation. there are no studies have examined the effect of kinesiotape on rounded shoulder posture. therefore the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of scapular kinesiotaping and pectoralis minor stretching exercise on forward shoulder ...

Objective: To evaluate heart rate (HR), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and double product (DP) responses in the seated posture of the Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) method. Methods: Nine healthy female volunteers (23±2.1 years; 56.4±7.8kg; 1.61±0.05m, 21.6±2.4kg/m2), without experience of the GPR, method underwent a treatment...
