Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a 6-week traditional exercise program with supplementary whole-body vibration (WBV) in improving health status, physical functioning, and main symptoms of fibromyalgia (FM) in women with FM. Methods: Thirty-six (36) women with FM (mean standard error of the mean age 55.97 1.55) were randomized into 3 treatment groups: exer...

In this paper, we introduce a probabilistic framework based on the Bayesian Networks (BNs) for modelling and real-time inferring human fatigue by integrating information from various visual cues and certain relevant contextual information. We first present a static Bayesian network that captures the static relationships between fatigue, significant factors that cause fatigue, and various visual...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to determine the psychological fatigue and analyze muscle activity of production workers who are performing processes jobs while standing for prolonged time periods. METHODS The psychological fatigue experienced by the workers was obtained through questionnaire surveys. Meanwhile, muscle activity has been analyzed using surface electromyography (sE...

Commonly conflated with sleepiness, fatigue is a distinct multidimensional condition with physical and mental effects. Fatigue in health care providers and any secondary effects on patient care are an important societal concern. As medical image interpretation is highly dependent on visual input, visual fatigue is of particular interest to radiologists. Humans analyze their surroundings with ra...

purpose trainers and physical fitness coaches’ need a useful tool to assess training loads to avoid overtraining. however, perceived scales or questionnaires were required. therefore, the purpose of this study was to assess whether a short 8-item questionnaire of fatigue could be a useful tool for monitoring changes in perceived training load and strain among elite rugby sevens (7s) players dur...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of stereoscopic display alignment errors on visual fatigue and prefrontal cortical tissue hemodynamic responses. We collected hemodynamic data and perceptual ratings of visual fatigue while participants performed visual display tasks on 8 ft × 6 ft NEC LT silver screen with NEC LT 245 DLP projectors. There was statistical significant diffe...
