El presente trabajo muestra las perspectivas de aplicación y uso de la tecnología de análisis de movimiento para el diagnóstico y seguimiento en procesos terapéuticos, mediante el análisis de parámetros de movimiento, apoyado en la tecnología de BTS SMART-E. Esta tecnología permite el análisis de la cinemática de los movimientos corporales y registra datos e imágenes en tres dimensiones (3D), para permitir en análisis y la valoración del movimiento en los planos frontal, sagital y trasversal. El objetivo de este estudio es mostrar las posibles aplicaciones y el uso de esta tecnología. Se presentan los modelos para tres estudios de aplicación realizados: balance corporal, comportamiento de mano luego de una enfermedad cerebro vascular (ECV) y análisis de inestabilidad en columna lumbar. Estos modelos muestran la posibilidad de medir el comportamiento de uno o varios ángulos, en cuanto al desplazamiento, la velocidad y la aceleración. Este tipo de tecnología permite objetivar la evaluación y garantiza la reproducción de las pruebas en diferentes escenarios.
It is generally considered that the costs related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) stem from absenteeism, medical expenses, reduced productivity, and quality of life. To estimate the costs associated with MSDs in organizations and thus determine the benefits for a company of implementing an effective and sustainable prevention program, it is necessary to consider the need to know the current and future prevalence of MSDs as well as to understand whether these data vary according to the economic sector, geographic location, and demographic aspects. It is also necessary to understand whether there are comorbidities associated with MSDs as well as the direct and indirect impacts in terms of the productive and work capacity of organizations and individuals. In the development of this study, the authors wanted to generate an analysis tool to estimate the incidence of MSDs and their economic costs, which also serves as a baseline to evaluate the possible benefits derived from prevention programs for this type of work-related disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
