Popis: Besides hand - arm system, the vibration can enter in the human body through the feet, too. In these case - when the subject was in a standing position and the vibrations have a vertical component - longer exposures may cause disease of joints, lower extremity and serious disorders of the cerebral blood vessels, internal organs and circulatory system. This paper focused on the influence of vibration on knee mobility. We used a MediTouch system which consists of a motion capture device (an ergonomic leg brace) and a dedicated software.
