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 ...
High-pass filtering to remove electrocardiographic interference from torso EMG recordings
(Elsevier, 1993-01)
SummaryRemoval of electrocardiographic (ECG) contamination of electromyographic (EMG) signals from torso muscles is often attempted by high-pass filtering. This study investigated the effects of the cut-off frequency used ...
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 ...
An investigation of the relationship between displacements of the finger and wrist joints and the extrinsic finger flexor tendons
(Elsevier, 1978)
Several investigators have developed biomechanical models of finger flexor tendon displacements during pinching or gripping exertions of hands. Landsmeer has developed the most comprehensive set of models for this purpose. ...
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 ...
A kinematic model of the human hand to evaluate its prehensile capabilities
(Elsevier, 1992-02)
A kinematic model has been developed for simulation and prediction of the prehensile capabilities of the human hand. The kinematic skeleton of the hand is characterized by ideal joints and simple segments. Finger-joint ...
Lumbar muscle size and locations from CT scans of 96 women of age 40 to 63 years
(Elsevier, 1990-02)
Computed tomography scans of 96 women aged between 40 and 63 years were systematically measured to determine torso muscle moment arms and cross-sectional areas at L2/L3, L3/L4 and L4/L5 disc levels. The major findings were ...
