Analysis of cumulative strain in tendons and tendon sheaths
(Elsevier, 1987)
Twenty-five fresh frozen flexor digitorum profundus tendons stratified by sex were subjected to uniaxial step stress and cyclic loads in twelve intact human cadaver hands. By attaching specially designed clip strain gage ...
Isometric and isokinetic back and arm lifting strengths: Device and measurement
(Elsevier, 1988)
This study was conducted to measure isometric (static) and isokinetic (dynamic) back and arm lifting strengths at 20, 60 and 100 cm s-1 of young adults. Ten male and ten female volunteers without a history of back pain ...
Biomechanical model calculation of muscle contraction forces: A double linear programming method
(Elsevier, 1988)
This paper presents a novel scheme for the use of linear programming to calculate muscle contraction forces in models describing musculoskeletal system biomechanics. Models of this kind are frequently found in the biomechanics ...
Neurovascular-anastomosed muscle grafts in rabbits: Functional deficits result from tendon repair
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1988-07)
In rabbits, 9 g rectus femoris (RFM) muscles were grafted with tendon repair and with (1) nerves and blood vessels intact, (2) nerves intact and blood vessels anastomosed, or (3) nerves and blood vessels anastomosed. The ...
Histochemistry of fibres of masseter and temporalis muscles of edentulous monkeys Macaca mulatta
(Elsevier, 1980)
Muscle fibres of the masseter and temporalis muscles of female rhesus monkeys which had been edentulous for 4.5 yr were analysed histochemically. Fibres were classified on the basis of activities of succinic acid dehydrogenase ...
Contractile properties of the muscles of mastication of rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) following increase in muscle length
(Elsevier, 1982)
The hypothesis was tested that increasing the resting length of the masseter and temporalis muscles by a bite-opening appliance with or without detachment and re-attachment of the masseter would not affect the contractile ...
A dynamic biomechanical evaluation of lifting maximum acceptable loads
(Elsevier, 1984)
A biomechanical evaluation of the job-related stresses imposed upon a worker is a potential means of reducing the high incidence rates of manual material handling injuries in industry. A biomechanical model consisting of ...
Motor unit function in skeletal muscle autografts of rats
(Elsevier, 1984-05)
Standard and nerve-intact grafts of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of rats do not fully recover control values for maximum tetanic tension (Po). We compared the physiologic properties of motor units from ...
