A survey on automated wheeze detection systems for asthmatic patients
(Association of Basic Medical Sciences of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2012)The purpose of this paper is to present an evidence of automated wheeze detection system by a survey that can be very beneficial for asthmatic patients. Generally, for detecting asthma in a patient, stethoscope is used for ... -
A review of computer-generated simulation in the pedagogy of cataract surgery training and assessment
(Taylor & Francis Online, 2013)Virtual reality simulation is no longer an unusual term due to its application in aviation, industry, medicine, and military. The limitation of animal model in wet-lab training has necessitated the discovery of new training ... -
A framework for the development of measurement and quality assurance in software-based medical rehabilitation systems
(Elsevier Ltd., 2012)The field of computer and robot-assisted rehabilitation system is rooted in the principle that software must be largely errorless, user-friendly, robust, accurate with respect to data, respond in a timely manner, and yet ... -
A new algorithm for computing minimum distance
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2000)This paper presents a new algorithm for computing the minimum distance between convex polyhedras. The algorithm of Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi (GJK) and the algorithm of Lin-Canny (LC) are well-known fast solutions to the ... -
A fast method to simulate virtual deformable objects with force feedback
(IEEE Conference Publications, 2002)In this paper, we propose solutions to real time simulation and interaction of deformable objects in virtual reality. Firstly, we present LEM - Long Element Method, a method created for physically based simulation of ... -
Surface electromyographic analysis of the biceps brachii muscle of cricket bowlers during bowling
(Springer Netherlands, 2014-01)Cricket bowling generates forces with torques on the upper limb muscles and makes the biceps brachii (BB) muscle vulnerable to overuse injury. The aim of this study was to investigate whether there are differences in the ... -
Surface electromyography for assessing triceps brachii muscle activities: A literature review
(Elsevier B.V., 2013)The goal of this review was to summarise the scientific findings of research conducted on the triceps brachii muscle using surface electromyography. To achieve this goal, we searched through several articles available from ... -
Design and development of a PC-based automated data logging system for measuring temperature
(Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN), 2013-11)Currently, accurate information of the temperature over time is required in medical, scientific, and various industrial applications. The objective of this work was to design and develop a fully automated microcontroller-based ... -
Design and development of an automated, portable and handheld tablet personal computer-based data acquisition system for monitoring electromyography signals during rehabilitation
(Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), 2013-03)This article describes the design of a robust, inexpensive, easy-to-use, small, and portable online electromyography acquisition system for monitoring electromyography signals during rehabilitation. This single-channel ... -
Coherence in muscle activity of the biceps brachii at middle, proximal and distal tendon region among the arm wrestling contestants
(Scientific Publishers of India, 2013)The aim of this study was to analyze the electromyographic (EMG) activity of biceps brachii (BB) muscle under the same muscle contraction in three different locations. For this reason, arm wrestling contest was conducted ... -
