Nerve collagens from diabetic and nondiabetic Sprague–Dawley and biobreeding rats: an atomic force microscopy study
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2003-07)
Background Alterations in rat's nerve collagens due to diabetes may be related to the permanence of damage due to diabetic neuropathy. We (1) provide a methodology for determining the diameters of collagen fibers accounting ...
Trabecular bone remodeling: An experimental model
(Elsevier, 1991)
An experimental model, capable of inducing controlled stress fields to the distal femoral metaphyses of large dogs, is presented. This model utilized an implantable hydraulic device incorporating five loading cylinders and ...
A mathematical model for the determination of viscoelastic behavior of brain in vivo--I Oscillatory response
(Elsevier, 1972-09)
In a recent experiment for determining the mechanical response of brain in vivo, a probe, inserted through scalp, skull and dura, is placed in contact with and normal to the brain, given a prescribed motion, and the time ...
Load-displacement properties of lower cervical spine motion segments
(Elsevier, 1988)
The load-displacement behavior of 35 fresh adult cervical spine motion segments was measured in compression, shear, flexion, extension, lateral bending and axial torsion tests. Motion segments were tested both intact and ...
Stance phase control of above-knee prostheses: Knee control versus SACH foot design
(Elsevier, 1987)
The mobility of above-knee amputees (A/K) is limited, in part, due to the performance of A/K prostheses during the stance phase. Currently stance phase control of most conventional A/K prostheses can only be achieved through ...
Application of homogenization theory to the study of trabecular bone mechanics
(Elsevier, 1991)
It is generally accepted that the strength and stiffness of trabecular bone is strongly affected by trabecular microstructure. It has also been hypothesized that stress induced adaptation of trabecular bone is affected by ...
