Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla01:14

Assessing Body Temperature - Axilla

635
Procedural Guide for Assessing Axillary Body Temperature using a Digital Thermometer:
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and put on clean gloves to maintain infection control and prevent cross-contamination.
Step 2: Prepare the patient by explaining the procedure to ensure understanding and cooperation. Ensure privacy, expose the axilla, and inform the patient that minimal movement is crucial for an accurate reading.
Step 3: Adjust the patient’s clothing to expose only the axilla. It minimizes...

Simple Trusses01:21

Simple Trusses

1.9K
A truss is a structural framework consisting of slender members connected at joints, designed to support external loads while minimizing material usage and weight. Simple trusses are a type of planar truss where all members lie within a single two-dimensional plane.
The most basic planar truss is a simple truss with three members arranged in a triangular formation. This triangular truss is inherently stable and rigid due to its geometry, making it an ideal starting point for creating more...

Measurements of Strain01:27

Measurements of Strain

1.9K
Strain quantifies the deformation of a material under force, typically measured as normal strain, which represents the change in length when compared with the original length. Electrical strain gauges are used for enhanced accuracy. These devices consist of a conductive wire mounted on a paper backing that adheres to the material's surface. These gauges operate on the piezoresistive effect, where the wire's electrical resistance changes in response to mechanical deformation. The strain...

Adjusting a Traverse01:12

Adjusting a Traverse

93
In the site survey of a four-sided traverse, internal angles are essential to ensure geometric accuracy. The survey revealed that the sum of the measured internal angles was 359 degrees and 48 minutes, which is 12 minutes less than the expected 360 degrees. This discrepancy signals an error likely arising from measurement inaccuracies during the fieldwork.To rectify this error, the adjustment process involved distributing the 12-minute shortfall equally across the four internal angles. By...

Assessing Body Temperature - Temporal Artery

629
Here is a stepwise guide to assessing the body temperature at the temporal artery using a temporal artery thermometer
Step 1: Perform hand hygiene and don a fresh pair of gloves to prevent cross-infection and ensure patient safety.
Step 2: Explain the procedure to the patient to establish trust. Clear communication establishes trust with the patient, ensures they understand what to expect, promotes cooperation, and enhances comfort during the procedure.  
Step 3: Assess the patient's...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sports Science
  • Wearable Technology

Background:

  • Improper cycling posture contributes to spinal musculoskeletal diseases and discomfort.
  • Existing methods for monitoring posture lack continuous, real-time feedback.
  • Need for accessible technology to promote correct spinal alignment during cycling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel smart shirt for detecting spinal curvature changes.
  • To provide real-time postural feedback to cyclists.
  • To assess the feasibility of using wearable sensors for monitoring trunk motion.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of a tri-axial gyroscope and accelerometer into a detachable smart shirt module.
  • Placement of sensors on the upper and mid-trunk to record angular velocity.
  • Development of a system to recognize trunk body posture and calculate trunk bending angle.

Main Results:

  • The smart shirt accurately detects postural variations and trunk bending angles.
  • Continuous, high-sample-rate (50 Hz) measurements were achieved with a wide sensor range.
  • Test results showed an average trunk-bending angle of 21.5°, with 99% within the standard range (8°–35°).

Conclusions:

  • The developed smart shirt is a feasible tool for continuous, field-based monitoring of trunk motion.
  • This technology can help improve cycling posture and potentially reduce the risk of spinal issues.
  • The detachable sensor module design addresses washability challenges for wearable electronics.
