A Hand-Held Device to Apply Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization at Targeted Compression Forces and Stroke Frequencies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a manual therapy technique that is commonly used to treat dysfunctions in ligaments and other musculoskeletal tissues. The objective of this study was to develop a ...
Dots-on-Plots: A Web Application to Analyze Stress–Strain Curves From Tensile Tests of Soft Tissue
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The calculation of tensile mechanical properties from stress–strain curves is a fundamental step in characterizing material behavior, yet no standardized method exists to perform these calculations for soft tissue. To ...
Applying ASTM Standards to Tensile Tests of Musculoskeletal Soft Tissue: Methods to Reduce Grip Failures and Promote Reproducibility
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Tensile testing is an essential experiment to assess the mechanical integrity of musculoskeletal soft tissues, yet standard test methods have not been developed to ensure the quality and reproducibility of these experiments. ...
