Abstract: Carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis are two common upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders (CTD) related to repetitive and forceful activities in industrial environments. Reducing the muscular force during activities ...

Abstract: The mechanism of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is not well understood. It is partly because previous studies have been unable to relate dynamic knee muscle forces during sports activities such as landing ...

Abstract: Numerical finite element (FE) models of the neck have been developed to simulate occupant response and predict injury during motor vehicle collisions. However, there is a paucity of data on the response of young cervical ...

Abstract: Unloader knee braces are prescribed for patients with unicompartmental osteoarthritis of the knee. These braces aim to reduce pain in patients by applying a coronal moment to the knee to unload the symptomatic knee ...

Abstract: Accidental foot injuries including metatarsal fractures commonly result from compressive loading. The ability of personal protective equipment to prevent these traumatic injuries depends on the understanding of metatarsal ...

Abstract: Metatarsal fractures represent the most common traumatic foot injury; however, metatarsal fracture thresholds remain poorly characterized, which affects performance targets for protective footwear. This experimental study ...
