Pain After Whole-Body Vibration Exposure Is Frequency Dependent and Independent of the Resonant Frequency: Lessons From an In Vivo Rat Model
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Occupational whole-body vibration (WBV) increases the risk of developing low back and neck pain; yet, there has also been an increased use of therapeutic WBV in recent years. Although the resonant frequency (fr) of the ...
Tissue Strain Reorganizes Collagen With a Switchlike Response That Regulates Neuronal Extracellular Signal Regulated Kinase Phosphorylation In Vitro: Implications for Ligamentous Injury and Mechanotransduction
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Excessive loading of ligaments can activate the neural afferents that innervate the collagenous tissue, leading to a host of pathologies including pain. An integrated experimental and modeling approach was used to define ...
Collagen Organization in Facet Capsular Ligaments Varies With Spinal Region and With Ligament Deformation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The spinal facet capsular ligament (FCL) is primarily comprised of heterogeneous arrangements of collagen fibers. This complex fibrous structure and its evolution under loading play a critical role in determining the ...
Repeated High Rate Facet Capsular Stretch at Strains That are Below the Pain Threshold Induces Pain and Spinal Inflammation With Decreased Ligament Strength in the Rat
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Repeated loading of ligamentous tissues during repetitive occupational and physical tasks even within physiological ranges of motion has been implicated in the development of pain and joint instability. The pathophysiological ...
Characterization of the Frequency and Muscle Responses of the Lumbar and Thoracic Spines of Seated Volunteers During Sinusoidal Whole Body Vibration
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Whole body vibration has been postulated to contribute to the onset of back pain. However, little is known about the relationship between vibration exposure, the biomechanical response, and the physiological responses of ...
Upper Cervical Spine Loading Simulating a Dynamic Low-Speed Collision Significantly Increases the Risk of Pain Compared to Quasi-Static Loading With Equivalent Neck Kinematics
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dynamic cervical spine loading can produce facet capsule injury. Despite a large proportion of neck pain being attributable to the C2/C3 facet capsule, potential mechanisms are not understood. This study replicated low-speed ...
Perspectives on Sharing Models and Related Resources in Computational Biomechanics Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The role of computational modeling for biomechanics research and related clinical care will be increasingly prominent. The biomechanics community has been developing computational models routinely for exploration of the ...
