Hand Gesture Recognition via Electromyographic (EMG) Armband for CAD Software CONTROL
… as Solidworks. To achieve this a commercial EMG armband (the Myo - Thalmic Labs) was used to record 8-channel EMG signals from a group of volunteers over the span of 3 visits. The data set was then preprocessed and segmented. The resulting data set consisted of 10 hand gestures performed by 10 …

Reliability and Validity of a Multi-Sensor Armband in Estimating Resting and Exercise Energy Expenditure
… the reliability and validity of the SenseWear Armband (SWA, BodyMedia, Inc.) during rest and exercise compared to indirect calorimetry (IC). Energy expenditure (EE) was assessed with SWA and IC in 13 males during two resting and one cycle ergometry (40 min at 60% VO<sub>2peak</sub>) sessions. …

Evaluation of Physical Activity and Weight Loss On Adiposity and Hypertension Outcomes
… Study primary outcomes with the SenseWearTM Armband. </p><p>The ACLS was used for studies 1 and 2 in this dissertation project. General obesity is a major risk factor for the development of hypertension (HTN). However, it is not well-studied whether central obesity and fat distribution are …

Effects of a Trained Therapy Dog in Child-Centered Play Therapy on Children's Biobehavioral Measures of Anxiety
… of a trained therapy dog. The SenseWear® PRO 2 armband monitor measured children's biobehavioral measurements such as galvanic skin response, temperature, and activity level (BodyMedia, Inc., Pittsburgh , PA , www.bodymedia.com). The Tanita 6102 Cardio® digital heart rate monitor measured …

Estimation of physical activity using accelerometry in adult populations: Using the Sensewear Armband and the ACT24 as comparison tools for the estimation of energy expenditure and physical activity intensity by the Sojourn method
… an established monitor-based measure (Sensewear Armband) and an established report-based measure (ACT24). A secondary purpose is to examine the context-related factors that are captured with the Sojourn method by comparing activity patterns with parallel data from the Sensewear Armband (SWA) and …

Towards an Automated Weight Lifting Coach: Introducing LIFT
… generation of fitness devices have wrist and armband style form factors, which may not be optimal for barbell exercises such as back squat, bench press, and overhead press where a sensor on one arm may not provide the most relevant data about a lift. Barbell path analysis is a well-known …

An Assessment of Obesity Through Lifestyle Self-monitoring and Cardiorespiratory Fitness
… analyzed to assess electronic (i.e. SenseWear Armband) lifestyle self-monitoring (i.e. physical activity and dietary intake) and its relation to weight reduction. After the 9 month intervention, participants were categorized into self-monitoring groups (i.e. low, moderate and high) based on …
