RISMultiscale Mechanical Evaluation of Human Supraspinatus Tendon Under Shear Loading After Glycosaminoglycan Reduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Proteoglycans (PGs) are broadly distributed within many soft tissues and, among other roles, often contribute to mechanical properties. Although PGs, consisting of a core protein and glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sidechains, ...
Pronation–Supination Motion Is Altered in a Rat Model of Post-Traumatic Elbow Contracture
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The elbow joint is highly susceptible to joint contracture, and treating elbow contracture is a challenging clinical problem. Previously, we established an animal model to study elbow contracture that exhibited features ...
Validation of Single C-Arm Fluoroscopic Technique for Measuring In Vivo Abdominal Wall Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Hernia meshes significantly reduce the recurrence rates in hernia repair. It is known that they affect the abdominal wall postimplantation, yet the understanding of in vivo mechanics in the mesh placement area is lacking. ...
A Coupled Fiber Matrix Model Demonstrates Highly Inhomogeneous Microstructural Interactions in Soft Tissues Under Tensile Load
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A soft tissue's macroscopic behavior is largely determined by its microstructural components (often a collagen fiber network surrounded by a nonfibrillar matrix (NFM)). In the present study, a coupled fibermatrix model was ...
Functional Measures of Grip Strength and Gait Remain Altered Long-Term in a Rat Model of Post-Traumatic Elbow Contracture
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Post-traumatic joint contracture (PTJC) is a debilitating condition, particularly in the elbow. Previously, we established an animal model of elbow PTJC quantifying passive postmortem joint mechanics and histological changes ...
Building a Partnership Between a University and Local High School to Foster and Grow Interest in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: To help foster interest in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), it is important to develop opportunities that excite and teach young minds about STEM-related fields. Over the past several years, our ...
