Intelligent control algorithms for posture and height control of four-leg hydraulic supports.

School of Emergency Management and Safety Engineering, China University of Mining & Technology, Beijing, 100083, China.

To address limitations of traditional inclinometers and height sensors in determining the posture and support height of hydraulic supports in coal mining, we propose a novel method predicated on travel measurements of the leg and tail beam cylinders. This method calculates the posture and height of hydraulic supports in mechanized mining. By conducting meticulous kinematic analysis of the hydraulic supports, a skeleton model of the main structural parameters of the hydraulic support was constructed.

Background: Falls are a global health concern facing older adults. Ballet emphasizes postural control, coordination, and leg muscle strength. Previous work indicated young professional ballet dancers adapt more effectively to repeated standing-slips than non-dancers as evidenced by better reactive improvements in dynamic gait stability and step latency.

Background: Several studies have suggested that approximately 10 hours of inactivity can reduce motor performance. Specifically, restricted lower limb movement may impair postural stability, subsequently increasing the incidence of falls. However, the relationship between postural sway and its related factors remains unclear.

Background: It is not yet known whether lipedema is a progressive chronic disease or not. The aim of this paper is to describe the long-term changes in the volume of the lower limbs.

Methods: The primary endpoint of this prospective cohort study of patients with lipedema was the percentage of volume change (PVC) during follow up.
