The study of features of the working posture pattern of bus and trucks drivers showed the inconsistency to their optimal criteria. Deviations of goniometric indices of working posture pattern of drivers are noted for most brands of studied cars, that is caused by constructive disadvantages of the driving seat both of well buses and trucks. The study of the health state of drivers have shown the prevalence of dorsalgia in the group of bus and truck drivers reached 40.8 ± 4.75, and in truckers drivers--15.6 ± 2.96 cases per 100 employees. The largest share in the structure of the pathology in both groups is occupied by lumbodynia. Significantly more frequent pathology of musculoskeletal system in bus drivers is related with the long-term presence in the fixed uncomfortable position. There is emphasized the importance of design changes of the driver's seat, adapted with taken account of the individual anthropometric parameters, for the prevention of the disorders of the musculoskeletal system.

Intermittent negative pressure is an emerging treatment for lower limb vascular disease but the specific physiological effects, particularly upon large artery haemodynamics are unclear. This study examined the influence of intermittent negative pressure upon popliteal artery shear rate during both supine and sitting postures. Eleven healthy participants (5 female; age: 28.

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is the most prevalent foot condition, associated with a decline in quality of life and a high rate of complications. Pedobarography can be a diagnostic tool, although controversies exist due to differences in measurement scales, type of capture, software, and hardware used. Deformity level differences have not been thoroughly explored.

Background: The efficiency and productivity of dentists are affected due to musculoskeletal disorders. Efforts should be made to monitor and reduce these disorders so that proper relation is maintained between body and work.
Aims And Objectives: This research evaluates and compares the level of creatine kinase (CK) in operators working in ergonomically correct posture and incorrect posture using a newly developed digitalized alarm sensor attached to a dental operating stool.
Cerebral compliance assessment from intracranial pressure waveform analysis: Is a positional shift-related increase in intracranial pressure predictable?

Real-time monitoring of intracranial pressure (ICP) is a routine part of neurocritical care in the management of brain injury. While mainly used to detect episodes of intracranial hypertension, the ICP signal is also indicative of the volume-pressure relationship within the cerebrospinal system, often referred to as intracranial compliance (ICC). Several ICP signal descriptors have been proposed in the literature as surrogates of ICC, but the possibilities of combining these are still unexplored.
