The Long-Term Residual Effects of Low-Magnitude Mechanical Stimulation on Murine Femoral Mechanics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As an alternative to drug treatments, low-magnitude mechanical stimulation (LMMS) may improve skeletal health without potential side effects from drugs. LMMS has been shown to increase bone health short term in both animal ...
Mechanical Deformation of Peripapillary Retina in Response to Acute Intraocular Pressure Elevation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) may cause mechanical injuries to the optic nerve head (ONH) and the peripapillary tissues in glaucoma. Previous studies have reported the mechanical deformation of the ONH and the ...
Three-Dimensional Inflation Response of Porcine Optic Nerve Head Using High-Frequency Ultrasound Elastography
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Characterization of the biomechanical behavior of the optic nerve head (ONH) in response to intraocular pressure (IOP) elevation is important for understanding glaucoma susceptibility. In this study, we aimed to develop ...
Three Dimensional Strains in Human Posterior Sclera Using Ultrasound Speckle Tracking
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intraocular pressure (IOP) induced strains in the peripapillary sclera may play a role in glaucoma progression. Using inflation testing and ultrasound speckle tracking, the 3D strains in the peripapillary sclera were ...
