“…Focusing on the issues of fire safety in multiunit residential buildings, Gradinscak et al 2 presented a Human Response Model which could predict the response of occupants to different cues prior to evacuation from an individual apartment. Another study on measurement of human startle response was performed by Blumenthal et al 3 Measurement of human ciliary muscle and lens response using magnetic resonance imaging had been reported by Strenk et al 4 Tylee et al 5 outlined the progress in the investigations on human body dynamics during vibration therapy. Muzammil 6 performed experiments to explore the effect of gender on human cognitive performance under the impact of vibration‐induced stresses while moving in automobiles.…”

The present study is aimed to analyse the relationships of human responses to sudden changes in visual or hearing stimulations with respect to the age. As the accuracy of measurement of the time interval is significant in the study of human response, a microcontroller‐based time measurement system is designed and developed with a resolution of 1 µs. The hardware of the device takes care of the generation and management of the clock through I/O ports of the microcontroller, while software captures and computes the response time. The effect of age on human responses to both visual and hearing stimuli was studied, and the natures of both the responses were compared. The results were analysed to determine the characteristics of human responses and the relationship between human response, type of stimulus, and age. It was shown that the human visual and hearing response‐times increase with age, and the hearing response is faster than visual response.

Effects of Whole-Body Vibration Exercise on Lower-Extremity Muscle Strength and Power in an Older Population: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Background and Purpose Vibration training is a relatively new exercise intervention. This study investigated the effects of vibration exercise on strength (force-producing capacity) and power in older adults who are healthy. Participants and Methods Thirty participants (mean age=73.7 years, SD=4.6) were randomly assigned to a vibration exercise training (VIB) group or an exercise without vibration training (EX) group. The interventions consisted of 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Outcome measures included isokinetic flexor and extensor strength and power of the hip, knee, and ankle. Results The VIB group significantly improved ankle plantar flexor strength and power compared with the EX group. However, there were no significant differences between the VIB and EX groups for knee flexor or extensor strength. Discussion and Conclusion Vibration training contributed to an increase in plantar flexor strength and power. However, the strength gains for the knee and hip flexors and extensors for the VIB group and the EX group were comparable. Future vibration protocols should explore different body positions to target muscles higher up on the leg.
