Mechanical Vibration Regulates Differentiation and Proliferation of Neural Stem Cells
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: For the regeneration of the central nervous system, neural stem cells have been proposed as graft donors. Conventional studies have used biochemical factors to induce their differentiation into neurons and to enhance axon ...
Effectiveness of an Intelligent Foot Orthosis in Lateral Fall Prevention
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this study was to validate the effectiveness of the newly developed intelligent foot orthosis (IFO) at preventing lateral falls. The IFO is a wearable fall prevention system based on using a small magnetorheological ...
Assistive Technology for Real-Time Fall Prevention During Walking: Evaluation of the Effect of an Intelligent Foot Orthosis
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present an intelligent foot orthosis (IFO) designed to prevent lateral falls during walking by employing a magnetorheological (MR) fluid brake. This study aims to demonstrate the feasibility of evaluating effectiveness ...
