Abstract:

Hand and finger force data are used in many settings, including industrial design and indicating progress during rehabilitation. The application of appropriate work design principles, during the design of tools and workstations that involve the use of the hand and fingers, may minimize upper extremity injuries within the workplace. Determination and integration of force capabilities and requirements is an essential component of this process. Available data in the literature has focused primarily on whole-hand or multi-digit pinch exertions. The present study compiled and examined maximal f

Abstract:

This research arises from the awareness that the construction of a garment pattern requires satisfaction of complex variables to ensure finished garments fit and function correctly. Current pattern construction systems rely heavily on trial and error for their satisfaction, with little objective indication of ease requirements or insight into pattern philosophy. This study combines anthropometric measurements, pattern construction and human movement to investigate functional change and provide guidance on functional ease requirements to enable better fitting and functioning garments.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND The type of cuff that should be used for blood pressure measurement in the obese is still the subject of debate. The problem is even more controversial in people with morbid obesity due to the pronounced tronco-conical shape of the upper arm. OBJECTIVES In this study we investigated the effect of the shape of the cuff on blood pressure measurement in obese subjects with arm circumference > 42 cm by comparing the blood pressure readings obtained with a cylindrical and a tronco-conical cuff with the same width. MATERIAL AND METHODOS We enrolled 33 obese subjects (mean BMI, 45 ± 5

TITLE: Calories vs. Composition: The effect on dietary alterations on anthropometric measures and biochemical parameters in overweight women.LEARNING OUTCOME: To determine if a high-protein, low-carbohydrate, ad-libitum diet is more effective than an energy-restricted diet in promoting weight loss and improving blood lipid and insulin levels.ABSTRACT TEXT: Thirty overweight/obese (BMI: 25-35kg/m2), premenopausal women were matched for Body Mass Index (BMI) and randomly assigned to one of the two diets: (1) High Protein (HP) (30-40% protein, 40-55% fat, 10-20% CHO); (2) Energy Restricted (ER) (

The aim of this study was to investigate milk consumption among children in a village in a developing country where access to milk during childhood may be limited. Another aim was to see if measurable information could demonstrate growth among children who drank milk. The data was collected through anthropometric measurements on 66 boys and girls (aged 5-6). Nutritional data from a selected group of parents of the participating children were done through 24-hour-recall, questions about meal arrangement, availability and attitudes about milk were asked.

Abstract:

A device capable of continuously monitoring an individual’s levels of alertness in real-time is highly desirable for preventing drowsiness and lapse related accidents. This thesis presents the development of a non-intrusive and light-insensitive video-based system that uses computer-vision methods to localize face, eyes, and eyelids positions to measure level of eye closure within an image, which, in turn, can be used to identify visible facial signs associated with drowsiness and behavioural microsleeps. The system was developed to be non-intrusive and light-insensitive to make it practical

SR and actual measured (ME) BMI values were compared with standards from the FITNESSGRAM® Healthy Fitness Zone (HFZ) classifications.

Abstract:

The overall aim of this thesis was to assess measurement properties of methods suitable for screening or monitoring of physical capacity and physical activity in subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to explore factors associated with physical activity levels. Methods: Four observational studies were conducted. Participants in studies I-III (sample sizes) (n=49, n=15, n=73) were recruited from specialist clinics, and in study IV from a population-based cohort (COPD n=470 and Non-COPD n=659). Psychometric properties of methods assessing physical capacity (study I) and

Abstract:

För att kunna underlätta för sjukvården, både med avseende att belastning och för att underlätta för patienter med allergier mot t.ex. limmet som används för att fästa elektroder mot kroppen, arbetas det med att ta fram sensoriska plagg. Ett sensoriskt plagg kan användas för att kontrollera olika mätvärden i vardagen så som hjärtsignaler eller liknande och ska vara lätt för patienten att använda själv hemma. Eller som ett alternativ för någon som är allergisk mot det lim som vanligtvis används för att fästa sensorer mot kroppen. För att sensorerna i plagget ska kunna ge tydliga och användbara
