Video microanalysis, a technique developed by infant researchers, is used to understand the withdrawal that developed between analyst and analysand when the latter resumed use of the couch after a period of sitting up. The case includes three excerpts of microprocess, accompanied by descriptions of content apart from explicit verbal material, content such as tone of voice, speech patterns, facial expression, and body movements, along with diagrams showing the second-by-second vocal rhythm coordination of analyst and analysand. Supervision using the video, as well as the analyst’s viewing the video with the analysand in a modified use of video feedback, widened the pair’s understanding of the determinants of their mutual participation in withdrawal and a feeling of deadness, thus freeing them from the repetition of an enactment. It is shown how (1) movement to the couch created an affectively heightened state that brought central psychodynamic aspects of the analysand’s experience to the fore; (2) video microanalysis allowed access to previously unavailable content; and (3) understanding of unconscious, dynamically determined conflicts and defenses embedded in body movement, facial expression, speech tone, and rhythm patterns illuminated facets of the co-created relatedness between analysand and analyst.

Beginning around Session 5 or 6, emotional processing of the trauma memories can be made more efficient by having the patient focus primarily or exclusively on the most currently distressing parts of the trauma, which the authors term the “hot spots.” The therapist helps the patient identify his hot spots and then select one to begin the imaginal exposure. This should be one of the most distressing parts, if not the most distressing part, of the trauma. Therapy continues with the focus on the patient’s hot spots during the imaginal exposure until each has been sufficiently processed, as reflected by diminished Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) levels and the patient’s behavior (e.g., body movement, facial expression). This may take several sessions, depending on the number of hot spots, the patient’s pace, and the amount of time spent listening to exposure recordings as homework.

Thirty fetuses were observed for 24 hours and one fetus was observed for 20 hours during the last 10 weeks of gestation. Observations were made of the amount of gross fetal body movement in each successive 5 minute observation epoch, thus resulting in 30 time series of 288 observations and one time series of 240 observations. Spectral analysis of these time series demonstrated the presence of significant power in the frequency range of 0.002 to 0.0175 cpm. Application of Box-Jenkins techniques to the time series resulted in the choice of a first-order auto-regression model to fit the data. It was concluded that the incidence of episodes of gross fetal body movements were non-random and were, in fact, pseudoperiodic.

Expressive Body Movement

Method of automatic choreography to generate lifelike body movements is proposed. This method is based on somatic theories that are conventionally used to evaluate human’s psychological and developmental states by analyzing body movement. This paper proposes the use of these theories in the inverse way to facilitate the generation of artificial body movements that are plausible in relation to the regarding evolutionary, developmental and emotional states of robots or other automata. This paper reviews somatic theories and describes a strategy for implementating automatic body movement generation. An additional psychological experiment is also conducted to evaluate expression ability of body movement rhythms.

Lymphatic Circulation

The studies of ballistocardiography about the effect of cardiovascular activity in body motion raised the author interest in the research of the influence of body movements in the circulatory flow in venous and lymphatic vessels. These effects follow Sir Isaac Newton laws. With the body movement, the one-way valve structure of these vessels will cause a mobilization of venous blood and lymph to the proximal side. A model was built to demonstrate the effect of oscillatory movement in a liquid flow in a system of one-way valve. There was a rise of the liquid with difference in level that ranged from 9 cm up to 34 cm, depending on the amplitude and frequency. The model tried to mimic a segment of vein with its valve, and evaluate the effectiveness of oscillatory movements in the progression of the liquid, In a preliminary study, to assess the effect of oscillatory movements on leg swelling, this movements was applied in a clinical cases. There was regression of the oedema and circumference on the leg, by oscillatory movements, that was correlated with increase in lymphatic and venous drainage. Venous stasis is a predisposing factor of venous thromboembolism. How we extrapolate from the experimental model, the oscillatory movements of the legs improving venous circulation may contribute to the prophylaxis of venous thromboembolism. In conclusion, it is of interest to study its application in some situations of venous thromboembolism risk.

Dance Movements

This study investigated effects of mirror and metronome use on spontaneous upper body movements by 10 preprofessional dancers in a motor task in which maximally diverse upper body movement patterns were targeted. Hand and trunk accelerations were digitally recorded utilizing accelerometers and analyzed using polar frequency distributions of the realized acceleration directions and sample entropy of the acceleration time. Acceleration directions were more variably used by the arms than by the torso, particularly so when participants monitored their performance via a mirror. Metronome use hardly affected the predictability of the acceleration time series. The findings underscore the intrinsic limitations that people experience when being asked to move randomly and reveal moderate effects of visual and acoustic constraints on doing so in dance.

Piezoelectric Energy

In an effort to fabricate a wearable piezoelectric energy harvester based on core-shell piezoelectric yarns with external electrodes, flexible piezoelectric nanofibers of BNT-ST (0.78Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.22SrTiO3) and polyvinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene (PVDF-TrFE) were initially electrospun. Subsequently, core-shell piezoelectric nanofiber yarns were prepared by twining the yarns around a conductive thread. To create the outer electrode layers, the core-shell piezoelectric nanofiber yarns were braided with conductive thread. Core-shell piezoelectric nanofiber yarns with external electrodes were then directly stitched onto the fabric. In bending tests, the output voltages were investigated according to the total length, effective area, and stitching interval of the piezoelectric yarns. Stitching patterns of the piezoelectric yarns on the fabric were optimized based on these results. The output voltages of the stitched piezoelectric yarns on the fabric were improved with an increase in the pressure, and the output voltage characteristics were investigated according to various body movements of bending and pressing conditions.

Body movements and heart rate were measured during dental treatment in 58 children 3 to 12 years of age. The heart rate increased in 85% of the 34 children who moved during intraoral injection. The heart rate decreased in 71% of the children with no overt body movement during intraoral injection.
