RISEvaluation of the Kinematic Biofidelity and Inter-Test Repeatability of Global Accelerations and Brain Parenchyma Pressure for a Head–Brain Physical Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Head surrogates are widely used in biomechanical research and headgear assessment. They are designed to approximate the inertial and mechanical properties of the head and are instrumented to measure global head kinematics. ...
Review of Mechanisms and Research Methods for Blunt Ballistic Head Injury
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Head injuries account for 15%–20% of all military injuries and pose a high risk of causing functional disability and fatality. Blunt ballistic impacts are one of the threats that can lead to severe head injuries. This ...
Optimal Estimation of Anthropometric Parameters for Quantifying Multisegment Trunk Kinetics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Kinetics assessment of the human head-arms-trunk (HAT) complex via a multisegment model is a useful tool for objective clinical evaluation of several pathological conditions. Inaccuracies in body segment parameters (BSPs) ...
Design and Evaluation of an Instrumented Wobble Board for Assessing and Training Dynamic Seated Balance
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Methods that effectively assess and train dynamic seated balance are critical for enhancing functional independence and reducing risk of secondary health complications in the elderly and individuals with neuromuscular ...
