Abstract: The human subtalar joint was modelled as a quasi-linear second-order underdamped system to simulate sudden inversion motion of the foot relative to the shank. The model was fed with experimental ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper was to propose a mathematical model for the fatigue and recovery phases of a paraplegic’s quadriceps muscle subjected to intermittent functional electrical stimulation ...

Abstract: Mechanically induced cell deformations have been shown to influence chondrocyte response in 3D culture. However, the relationship between the mechanical stimulation and cell response is not yet ...

Abstract: The present study deals with the stiffness and damping profiles of the leg joints during the ground-contact phase of hopping. A two-dimensional (sagittal plane) jumping model, consisting of four ...
