Why the study?
Improper yoga practice may cause major harm to muscles and ligaments, motivating an image-based mathematical model for poses that help control Type-2 diabetes.
An image-based mathematical model using a Kinect sensor and LabVIEW can successfully analyze standing yoga postures and provide corrective feedback, which may assist in standardizing yoga practice for diabetes management.
May support standardized yoga feedback; leaves open clinical benefits for diabetes without prospective validation.
Yoga is one of the ancient practices originated in India that helps in balancing mind and body of human. For the past few decades it has got wide spread throughout the world. Many are practicing it in the presence of yoga tutor or following some online modes. But improper practice may cause major harm to muscles and ligaments of the human body. There are different asanas proposed in the Patanjali Yoga Sutra that can cure different diseases. This paper, proposes a mathematical model for a set of yoga asanas that can help cure Type -2 Diabetes. A noninvasive analysis has been implemented using Kinect Sensor and LabVIEW software to analyze the performance of the practitioner. The joints are subjected to the flexibility of the practitioner without any overstress.
