Abstract: Finite helical axes (FHAs) are a potentially effective tool for joint kinematic analysis. Unfortunately, no straightforward guidelines exist for calculating accurate FHAs using prepackaged six degreeoffreedom (6DOF) rigid ...

Abstract: Accidental foot injuries including metatarsal fractures commonly result from compressive loading. The ability of personal protective equipment to prevent these traumatic injuries depends on the understanding of metatarsal ...

Abstract: Additive manufacturing (AM) enables new possibilities for the design and manufacturing of complex metal architectures. Incorporating lattice structures into complex part geometries can enhance strength-to-weight and surface ...

Abstract: Metatarsal fractures represent the most common traumatic foot injury; however, metatarsal fracture thresholds remain poorly characterized, which affects performance targets for protective footwear. This experimental study ...
