Biomechanical analyses of rising from a chair
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
Quantification of the biomechanical factors that underlie the inability to rise from a chair can help explain why this disability occurs and can aid in the design of chairs and of therapeutic intervention programs. ...
The relationship between the structural and orthogonal compressive properties of trabecular bone
(Elsevier, 1994-04)
In this study, cubes of trabecular bone with a wide range of structural properties were scanned on a micro-computed tomography system to produce complete three-dimensional digitizations from which morphological and ...
Identification of dynamic myoelectric signal-to-force models during isometric lumbar muscle contractions
(Elsevier, 1994-07)
A 14-muscle myoelectric signal (MES)-driven muscle force prediction model of the L3-L4 cross section is developed which includes a dynamic MES-force relationship and allows for cocontraction. Model parameters are estimated ...
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 ...
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 ...
