Abstract: Strain measurement was performed on loaded fresh human cadaveric proximal femurs before and after total hip femoral component implantation. Changes in the femurs’ strain state associated with ...

Abstract: Six major mechanical design variables characterizing single-upright lateral prophylactic knee braces were studied experimentally, using a generic modular brace (GMB). Impulsive valgus loading tests ...

Abstract: Estimating forces in muscles and joints during locomotion requires formulations consistent with available methods of solving the indeterminate problem. Direct comparisons of results between differing ...

Abstract: To explore the hypothesis that load-induced fluid flow in bone is a mechano-transduction mechanism in bone adaptation, unit cell micro-mechanical techniques are used to relate the microstructure ...

Abstract: The mathematical prediction of muscle and joint force requires a quantitative knowledge of muscle origins and insertions. A model is presented based upon marking the origins and insertions in ...
