Non-linear analysis of trunk movement of Air Defense Staff: Pilot study

Measurements of acceleration of a person ’s body segment by wearable MoCap system is one of the most commonly used tool to investigate a movement activity. However, this method to measure movement activity has not yet been used for the assessment of the air defense staff members. Existent studies do not compare the change in movement act ivity during shift work and depending on air traffic density. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of the trunk movement activity assessment by non-linear method to identify and differences in traffic density and hours of shift work.
