Positional trainers are devices that attach to your body and vibrate when they detect that you are sleeping on your back. (snorelab.com)
It is a blend of wearable technology and positional therapy - the scientific term for making people sleep in healthier positions. (snorelab.com)
The Snooor wearable approach is an example of "positional therapy" - a term that refers to several methods for reducing snoring and sleep apnea by treating a person's sleeping position. (snorelab.com)
For the definition of positional OSA, all studies shared the criterion of the supine AHI to be at least twice as high as the nonsupine AHI. (researchgate.net)
Studies1
Studies and evidence show that OSA related to sleeping in the supine position is related to the airway positioning, reduced lung volume, and the inability of airway muscles to dilate enough to compensate as the airway collapses. (wikipedia.org)
Time1
If used for the whole night, that's about 3000 hours at a time when the body is relaxed & most receptive. (symmetrikit.com)
Scientific1
In scientific literature "semi-supine" commonly refers to positions where the upper body is tilted (at 45° or variations) and not completely horizontal. (wikipedia.org)
Head1
With individuals who have OSA, many health care providers encourage their patients to avoid the supine position while asleep and sleep laterally or sleep with the head of their bed up in a 30- or 45-degree angle. (wikipedia.org)
Shown2
More recently, a wealth of science has shown that changing your sleeping position can massively reduce snoring and sleep apnea. (snorelab.com)
Repositioning the body to open a snorer's airway can reduce or eliminate snoring and has also been shown to decrease sleep apnea severity. (snorelab.com)
Midline of the body3
moving a body part away from the midline of the body. (lumenlearning.com)
to move a body part towards the midline of the body. (lumenlearning.com)

Anatomy1
Joseph Maclise, Superior Mesenteric Artery (detail) , from Richard Quain, The Anatomy of the Arteries of the Human Body (London: Taylor & Walton, 1841-1844), Plate 51, circa 1841-1844, coloured lithograph, 67.5 × 55 cm. (britishartstudies.ac.uk)
Gross1
[ 24 ] When an infant is 'quietly alert', the 'quiet' means no gross body movements are occurring and 'alert' means eyes are open and appear attentive. (medscape.com)
Upper body3
In scientific literature "semi-supine" commonly refers to positions where the upper body is tilted (at 45° or variations) and not completely horizontal. (wikipedia.org)
As a result, any pressure applied to the upper arm is transferred to the shoulder, which in turn inhibits upper body movement. (policemag.com)
If the upper body is anchored, lower body movement is severely limited. (policemag.com)
Show2
Studies and evidence show that OSA related to sleeping in the supine position is related to the airway positioning, reduced lung volume, and the inability of airway muscles to dilate enough to compensate as the airway collapses. (wikipedia.org)
Maclise's drawings, ostensibly designed to contribute to the improvement of medical knowledge, theory, and practice, show good-looking young men and cadaveric bodies in various states of dissection. (britishartstudies.ac.uk)
Means2
The supine position (/səˈpaɪn/ or /ˈsuːpaɪn/) means lying horizontally with the face and torso facing up, as opposed to the prone position, which is face down. (wikipedia.org)
For example, adducting a leg means the entire leg is moved towards the middle of the body. (lumenlearning.com)
Individuals2
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a form of sleep apnea that occurs more frequently when throat muscles relax and is most severe when individuals are sleeping in the supine position. (wikipedia.org)
With individuals who have OSA, many health care providers encourage their patients to avoid the supine position while asleep and sleep laterally or sleep with the head of their bed up in a 30- or 45-degree angle. (wikipedia.org)
Human body1
The human body is in constant motion - inhaling and expelling air, settling limbs into new positions, pumping blood - and so, constantly creating sounds (although usually we cannot hear them). (obesiologianews.net)
Move1
If you are not able to freely move your body weight, you are not in shape. (themicroblogging.com)
Gray2
When Gray and Gisele approach they see the old woman bent over Leone's prone body. (arthistoryfilm.org)
Wearied, Gray falls asleep, and the doctor leaves the crone's poison for Leone to take. (arthistoryfilm.org)
Learn1
By training at home, with your body weight, you learn to master the basic exercises. (themicroblogging.com)
Blood1
Hearing the movement of blood through the body is supposedly something like an absolute taboo, akin to witnessing the fabrication of Chicken McNuggets - an ordeal after which placid existence is irreparably shattered. (obesiologianews.net)
The body is only totally still - totally silent - in death. (obesiologianews.net)
Specific1
These cells are specific to various microorganisms and will either make antibodies or work to destroy any foreign material entering the body. (lumenlearning.com)
Distance1
First, since the wrist is a relatively small target and situated a considerable distance from the core of the body, grabbing it can be difficult when the suspect is moving. (policemag.com)
