Mathematical metrics to quantify and measure the correctness of performance of yoga asanas

In news

Researchers have developed a novel method that involves mathematical metrics to quantify and measure the correctness of the performance of yoga asanas in terms of stability and steadiness.

Details
  • These mathematical metrics based on Electromyography (EMG) a diagnostic procedure that evaluates the health condition of muscles, can help in assessing the correctness of performance and paves way for making appropriate corrections, thus enabling practitioners to derive maximum benefit from the asanas.
  • The researchers used EMG to study both physical and physiological parameters.
  • The study carried out with support from  ‘Science and Technology of Yoga and Meditation (SATYAM)’ Programme of the Department of Science and Technology.
  • The study provides understanding of the mechanics of Yoga both from a biomechanical as well as a motor control perspective which succeeded in laying a foundational framework for future research in this area.
