Abstract: Osteoporosis is characterized by bony material loss and decreased bone strength leading to a significant increase in fracture risk. Patientspecific quantitative computed tomography (QCT) finite element (FE) models may be ...

Abstract: Accurate quantification of subtle wrist motion changes resulting from ligament injuries is crucial for diagnosis and prescription of the most effective interventions for preventing progression to osteoarthritis. Current ...

Abstract: Dynamic loading on articular joints is essential for the evaluation of the risk of the articulation degeneration associated with occupational activities. In the current study, we analyzed the dynamic constraint loading for ...

Abstract: One commonly reported complication of pyrolytic carbon arthroplasty at the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint is an annoying, painless, squeaking postoperatively. This squeak has been anecdotally associated with implant ...

Abstract: Spine intersegmental motion parameters and the resultant regional patterns may be useful for biomechanical classification of low back pain (LBP) as well as assessing the appropriate intervention strategy. Because of its ...
