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 ...
Viscoelastic properties of cat tendon: Effects of time after death and preservation by freezing
(Elsevier, 1968-07)
In this study postmortem changes in the character of the stress-strain limit cycle were analyzed for cat extensor communis and extensor lateralis tendons maintained in a stream of Ringer's solution and loaded with a short ...
Direct calculation of the surface-to-volume ratio for human cancellous bone
(Elsevier, 1993-08)
There are many diseases which cause detrimental changes in the trabecular structure of cancellous bone, leading to mechanical failure of the tissue. One approach to understanding the mechanisms of these diseases is to ...
The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue and the size-dependency of cortical bone modulus
(Elsevier, 1990)
The elastic moduli of human subchondral, trabecular, and cortical bone tissue from a proximal tibia were experimentally determined using three-point bending tests on a microstructural level. The mean modulus of subchondral ...
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 ...
A comparison of the fatigue behavior of human trabecular and cortical bone tissue
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
The fatigue properties of trabecular bone tissue (single trabeculae) and similarly sized cortical bone specimens from human tibia were experimentally determined on a microstructural level using four-point bending cyclic ...
A biomechanical model of the lumbosacral joint during lifting activities
(Elsevier, 1985)
A biomechanical model of the lumbosacral region was constructed for the purpose of systematically studying the combined stresses and strains on the local ligaments, muscles and disc tissue during sagittal plane two-handed ...
The mechanical properties of human tibial trabecular bone as a function of metaphyseal location
(Elsevier, 1983)
Experimental determination of the elastic modulus and ultimate strength of human tibial trabecular bone as a function of metaphyseal location is presented.A 1 cm cubic matrix with planes parallel to the subchondral plate ...
