“…Step distance was determined using Kinovea (http://www.kinovea.org) video analysis software. Kinovea has been shown to have inter and intrarater reliability greater than 0.92 (Abd Elrahim, Embaby, Ali, & Kamel, ; Elwardany, El‐Sayed, & Ali, ). A pair of video cameras were placed on either side of the participant giving a sagittal view of the left and right side of the participant.…”

Objective Perturbation‐evoked stepping reactions are infrequently assessed directly in clinical settings even though stepping reactions in response to a sudden loss‐of‐balance perturbation ultimately determine whether a fall occurs. Individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) due to stroke who are ambulatory and awaiting hospital discharge have been found to exhibit delayed stepping reactions but are typically discharged without assessment of perturbation‐evoked stepping. Tests that specifically target the capacity to perform perturbation‐evoked stepping reactions are important to identify those at risk for falls and to direct intervention strategies. The aim of this study was to evaluate agreement and reliability of two assessment methods used to assess rapid stepping reactions, specifically in individuals with ABI due to stroke or other causes. A secondary aim was to compare perturbation‐triggered biomechanics of the two assessment methods. Methods Thirty‐five participants who were less than 4 months post‐ABI were evaluated in an inpatient unit at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. Stepping reactions were assessed using manual release‐from‐lean and cable release‐from‐lean perturbation‐based assessment methods. Results There was moderate agreement between the assessment scores resulting from the two assessment methods (κ = 0.55) and substantial test–retest reliability (κ's > 0.61) for both assessment methods. There was no evidence that the assessment score was affected by assessment method, test–retest, or assessment order. However, the cable release from lean resulted in a more rapid release of the lean support force (2 ms vs. 125 ms) and earlier foot‐off times (340 ms vs. 401 ms) compared with the manual release from lean. Conclusion Delays in foot‐off time associated with the manual release‐from‐lean perturbation raise concerns that the manual assessment method may not provide a perturbation that is sufficiently challenging to reveal a patient's balance‐recovery capacity and associated fall risk. However, the manual assessment requires no equipment and the assessment score may provide a useful indication of gross reactive balance control.

“…Inadequate positions of monitor, mouse, keyboard, heights of seat and desk can force workers to assume prolonged head flexion-extension (FE) and twisted neck (i.e., when the top of the head tilts to one side while the chin to the other side [8]). Inadequate and prolonged sitting postures, and workers' stressful conditions can cause a greater activation of the neck muscles [7,[9][10][11][12][13]. Besides, alteration of cervicothoracic mobility is correlated to respiratory dysfunctions [1,11,[14][15][16][17].…”

Musculoskeletal disorders are the most common form of occupational ill-health. Neck pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders experienced by computer workers. Wrong postural habits and non-compliance of the workstation to ergonomics guidelines are the leading causes of neck pain. These factors may also alter respiratory functions. Health and safety interventions can reduce neck pain and, more generally, the symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders and reduce the consequent economic burden. In this work, a multi-parametric wearable system based on two fiber Bragg grating sensors is proposed for monitoring neck movements and breathing activity of computer workers. The sensing elements were positioned on the neck, in the frontal and sagittal planes, to monitor: (i) flexion-extension and axial rotation repetitions, and (ii) respiratory frequency. In this pilot study, five volunteers were enrolled and performed five repetitions of both flexion-extension and axial rotation, and ten breaths of both quite breathing and tachypnea. Results showed the good performances of the proposed system in monitoring the aforementioned parameters when compared to optical reference systems. The wearable system is able to well-match the trend in time of the neck movements (both flexion-extension and axial rotation) and to estimate mean and breath-by-breath respiratory frequency values with percentage errors ≤6.09% and ≤1.90%, during quiet breathing and tachypnea, respectively.
