“…On the other hand, kinetic data provides details of the force of the component in motion and helps to analyse the activation of muscles associated with the joint in motion. Kinetic data are computed from the signals obtained from Kinesiological Electro Myography (KEMG) device and these are quantitatively analysed for understanding muscle force and fatigue [7,8,9,10,11]. The motivation for the research presented in this paper, was to identify a robust methodology to integrate the kinetic and kinematic features for predictive analysis of human postures and movements.…”

Human neck postures and movements need to be monitored, measured, quantified and analyzed, as a preventive measure in healthcare applications. Improper neck postures are an increasing source of neck musculoskeletal disorders, requiring therapy and rehabilitation. The motivation for the research presented in this paper was the need to develop a notification mechanism for improper neck usage. Kinematic data captured by sensors have limitations in accurately classifying the neck postures. Hence, we propose an integrated use of kinematic and kinetic data to efficiently classify neck postures. Using machine learning algorithms we obtained 100% accuracy in the predictive analysis of this data. The research analysis and discussions show that the kinetic data of the Hyoid muscles can accurately detect the neck posture given the corresponding kinematic data captured by the neck-band. The proposed robust platform for the integration of kinematic and kinetic data has enabled the design of a smart neck-band for the prevention of neck musculoskeletal disorders.

“…The usual symptoms of injuries are neck pain, fatigue and painful lesions [1]. In the most of studies it is stated that these symptoms are due to whiplash (a fast motion of the head and neck without a direct force exerted onto the head) which causes cervical spine disorder [2]. However, up to months or years of accident, headaches, as nonspecific symptoms, are reported.…”

The aim of the paper is to give a new explanation of motion of human head-neck structure modelled as a nonlinear two-degree-offreedom system. The influence of the excitation parameter on steady state motions (periodic and chaotic) is analyzed. A method for chaos control is discussed.Methods: Mathematical model, given with two nonhomogenous and nonlinear coupled second order differential equations, is analyzed. The nonlinearity is assumed to be of any order given with a real number (integer or noninteger). For qualitative analysis of the motion the numerical simulation is applied. For determination of chaos the method based on the sign of Lyapunov's exponents and bifurcation diagram is used. Method of chaos suppression is incorporated into the investigation.Result: Due to nonlinearity steady state periodic and chaotic motion may appear. The type of motion depends on the parameter of excitation which acts apart from the apparent mass modeling the human head. Chaos suppression is achieved with a control function added to the system. Conclusion:Knowing the limits of excitation and biomechanical parameters, it is possible to obtain the type of the steady-state motion of the head as appointed mass. We think that the transition between steady-state motions is useful in explanation of the injury of head-neck system. It is believed that in the human body a control mechanism must exist which transforms the chaotic motion to a simple periodical steady state one.
