Human Interaction and Emerging Technologies
This book reports on research and developments in human-technology interaction. A special emphasis is given to human-computer interaction, and its implementation for a wide range of purposes such as healthcare, aerospace, telecommunication, and education, among others. The human aspects are analyzed in detail. Timely studies on human-centered design, wearable technologies, social and affective computing, augmented, virtual and mixed reality simulation, human rehabilitation and biomechanics represent the core of the book. Emerging technology applications in business, security, and infrastructure are also critically examined, thus offering a timely, scientifically-grounded, but also profession...
Therapy Approaches in Neurological Disorders
Neurological disorders are conditions affecting the central or peripheral nervous system, with undesirable consequences for the quality of life. This book highlights and discusses several approaches for managing these conditions and improving the functional capacity and quality of life of patients, including whole-body vibration exercise, biofeedback, sagittal plane spine alignment, allopathic and non-allopathic medications, phytotherapy, and more.
Physical Therapy Effectiveness
Physical therapy involves non-pharmacological interventions in the management of various clinical conditions. It is important to highlight the physical therapy procedures that are suitable, effective and, in general, do not have side effects or complications when properly performed. Physical therapy can be valuable in different situations along of the various steps of human development and in various clinical disorders. Indeed, topics on different approaches have been included in this book, which makes this book useful for readers to improve their professional performance.
Biomechanical Spectrum of Human Sport Performance
Writing or managing a scientific book, as it is known today, depends on a series of major activities, such as regrouping researchers, reviewing chapters, informing and exchanging with contributors, and at the very least, motivating them to achieve the objective of publication. The idea of this book arose from many years of work in biomechanics, health disease, and rehabilitation. Through exchanges with authors from several countries, we learned much from each other, and we decided with the publisher to transfer this knowledge to readers interested in the current understanding of the impact of biomechanics in the analysis of movement and its optimization. The main objective is to provide some interesting articles that show the scope of biomechanical analysis and technologies in human behavior tasks. Engineers, researchers, and students from biomedical engineering and health sciences, as well as industrial professionals, can benefit from this compendium of knowledge about biomechanics applied to the human body.
Complementary Therapies
Traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine are terms used to try to define practices in the maintenance of health as well as in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of physical and mental conditions. These practices are based on the knowledge, skill, theories, beliefs, and experiences acquired by different cultures in the world throughout the years. This book presents a comprehensive overview of the qualities and applications of complementary therapies. It includes thirteen chapters in four sections: “Complementary Therapies and Knowledge of Some Cultural Practices,” “Complementary Therapies and Mental Disorders,” “Complementary Therapies and Clinical Rehabilitation,” and “Complementary Therapies, Technologic and Science Perspectives.”
Advances in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men and its treatment was constricted to surgery for confined state and androgen ablation for advanced disease until new options have become available. The present book covers a broad range of novel aspects of prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment and patient care, as well as new research on relevant cell biology. In detail, this special volume focusses on supportive modalities for prostate cancer patients, appropriate selection of novel therapeutic regimens, including inhibitors of steroidal synthesis, cytotoxic agents, as well as intermittent androgen suppression and the roles of prostate cancer stem cells and inflammatory processes.
Early Indicators of Cognitive Decline, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Related Dementias Captured by Neurophysiological Tools
Major neurocognitive disorders are one of the leading causes of disability and dependency among the elderly worldwide. Notably, their far-reaching impact extends beyond the estimated 50 million people currently living with a major neurocognitive disorder. As the conversion to Alzheimer's disease (AD) progresses, patients’ symptoms (e.g., memory loss, severe impairments in thinking and behavior) place a heavy toll on their caregivers, family, and friends, who face emotional frustration, coupled with great financial stress. Furthermore, in terms of global cost estimation, the World Health Organization predicted that by 2030, the treatment of patients with AD and other forms of acquired cognitive impairment will cost the healthcare system US$1.7 trillion (or US$2.8 trillion, if corrected for the increase in care costs).
Exercise and Biomechanical Intervention in the Prevention, Management and Rehabilitation of Neuro-musculoskeletal Disorders, volume II
Neuromusculoskeletal biomechanics has been a popular topic in understanding the disorders of the human motor system during daily, clinical, and sport-specific activities. Recent studies have been conducted to examine the neuromusculoskeletal control (e.g., postural control, gait stability and falling), the mechanisms of sports injuries (e.g., Anterior Cruciate Ligament, Achilles Tendon, hamstring strain, and bone fracture) and clinical diseases (e.g., joint Osteoarthritis and cerebral palsy, etc.), and the task-based functional assessment. However, previous biomechanical approaches, such as the traditional lab-based experiments, musculoskeletal (MSK) modeling and Finite Element (FE) simulati...
