It was concluded that both contact and non contact methods have a number of significant limitations including time consuming measurement procedure, high cost and risk of excessive exposure to radiation. Many current approaches do not enable clinicians to accurately record and analyze the patient's musculoskeletal configuration. The challenge still remains to combine the body shape data with the precise identification and localization of anatomical landmarks for postural assessment. To address the need for easy to use, low cost, reliable measurement of anatomical landmarks ultrasound measurement system has been proposed. The main elements of the system are: ultrasound transmitters, receiver, digital-analog converter, signal conditioning equipment and laptop executing the signal processing algorithm. The prototype of the system was build and tested. The preliminary measurements of ultrasonic signals were realized and demonstrated the potential for this technique to be used in anthropometric and postural assessments in the future.","PeriodicalId":221120,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"231 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133272127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-invasive estimation of arterial parameters is significant in the early detection of cardiovascular diseases. In this work, we present an arterial compliance probe for calibration-free evaluation of carotid pulse pressure. This novel cuffless measurement technique uses dual magnetic plethysmograph (MPG) transducers for carotid local pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement and single element ultrasound transducer for measuring arterial dimensions. Proposed arterial compliance probe can acquire two blood pulse waveforms and arterial diameter parameters simultaneously, which are then utilized in cycle-to-cycle estimation of arterial local PWV and pulse pressure without any subject or population specific calibration. The design of compliance probe and measurement system was verified by in-vivo trials. Accurate local PWV measurement and calibration free estimation of carotid pulse pressure was also validated by in-vivo studies. Initial results indicate a strong potential of MPG - Ultrasound arterial compliance probe in continuous, cuffless evaluation of blood pressure (BP) from superficial arteries.","PeriodicalId":221120,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115880382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current diagnosis techniques are based on a combination of medical history and physical examination performed by a physician. Non-invasive continuous monitoring of patient health and physiology are part of a growing research field. Pressure sensitive mats have been used to estimate force, analyze bed transfers, and monitor breathing patterns during sleep. This paper describes the application of pressure sensitive mats to identify small changes in mass distribution (<;1% of body mass) as a model of fluid retention that occurs with congestive heart failure (CHF). This paper employs a recently developed anthropometric model to demonstrate that the addition of a 100g mass at the ankle, shin, knee, thigh, and bladder regions were detectable under ideal conditions. A number of confounding factors that may influence real-world measurements are discussed. Although preliminary, these findings suggest that pressure sensitive mats may form the basis for a novel non-invasive system to assist physicians in monitoring CHF by tracking associated fluid retention and redistribution over the course of a night.","PeriodicalId":221120,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126882565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduced method is based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), an algorithm commonly used for evaluating the similarity of two time series which may vary in time and speed. DTW is employed as the measure of distance between two gait trajectories taken in different time instances, which could be used as an intuitive and effective measure for the evaluation of gait performances. The experimental results presented in the paper demonstrate that the proposed method is applicable for clinically relevant applications and is consequently adaptable to patients with diseases characterized with gait disorders and to different walking scenarios. The proposed method was firstly validated by applying the DTW-based measure on gait trajectories of five healthy subjects recorded while simulating different levels of walking disabilities. Then proposed measure was applied to estimate the distance between the “healthy” gait trajectories and gait trajectories of three patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) while performing single-task and dual-task overground walking. Also, the proposed measure was demonstrated as an effective measure for monitoring the changes in gait patterns of a PD patient before and after medication-based treatment. This result indicates potential use of proposed method for effective pharmacological management of PD.","PeriodicalId":221120,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129267555","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usually, postural oscillations is measured by the magnitude of center of pressure (CoP) movement over time. The conventional parameters in frequency domain to quantify changes of the CoP dynamics are estimated using Fourier spectral methods. However, considering the non-stationarity of the CoP signals, the Fourier approach, which breaks a time series signal into various sine wave frequency components, is not adapt. Aim of this work is to compare the wavelet decomposition analysis and the Fourier analysis, in measuring the power spectral distribution of the CoP traces, derived by Sensoria fitness (SF) e-textile socks, in three different frequency bands. Although wavelets analysis (WLT) has shown as a better technique than Fourier (FFT) in the resolution of the CoP oscillatory components, the overall spectral power modifications in their principal frequency bands have not yet been described. Particularly, the spectral power has been calculated in bands I (0.02-0.1 Hz), II (0.2-0.3), III (0.3-0.6), in percent values of the total spectral power.","PeriodicalId":221120,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Medical Measurements and Applications (MeMeA)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128572031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
