Effects of External Load on Sagittal and Frontal Plane Lower Extremity Biomechanics During Back Squats
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Previous literature suggests the sticking region, the transition period between an early peak concentric velocity to a local minimum, in barbell movements may be the reason for failing repeated submaximal and maximal squats. ... -
Tuning the Mechanical and Geometric Properties of Electrochemically Aligned Collagen Threads Toward Applications in Biohybrid Robotics
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Electrochemically aligned collagen (ELAC) threads fabricated by the isoelectric focusing (IF) of collagen have previously shown potential in tissue engineering and more recently in the fabrication of biohybrid robot ... -
Design, Development, and Temporal Evaluation of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Compatible In Vitro Circulation Model Using a Compliant Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Phantom
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Biomechanical characterization of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) has become commonplace in rupture risk assessment studies. However, its translation to the clinic has been greatly limited due to the complexity associated ... -
Numerical Simulation of Insulin Depot Formation in Subcutaneous Tissue Modeled as a Homogeneous Anisotropic Porous Media
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)In this study, a numerical model of insulin depot formation in the subcutaneous adipose tissue of humans has been developed using the commercial computational fluid dynamics software. A better understanding of the underlying ... -
Design of a Single Layer Metamaterial for Pressure Offloading of Transtibial Amputees
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)While using a prosthesis, transtibial amputees can experience pain and discomfort brought on by large pressure gradients at the interface between the residual limb and the prosthetic socket. Current prosthetic interface ... -
The Influence of Axial Compression on the Cellular and Mechanical Function of Spinal Tissues; Emphasis on the Nucleus Pulposus and Annulus Fibrosus: A Review
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)In light of the correlation between chronic back pain and intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, this literature review seeks to illustrate the importance of the hydraulic response across the nucleus pulposus (NP)-annulus ... -
Childbirth Computational Models: Characteristics and Applications
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)The biomechanical process of childbirth is necessary to usher in new lives—but it can also result in trauma. This physically intense process can put both the mother and the child at risk of injuries and complications that ... -
Editorial: A Message From C. Ross Ethier, the New JBME Co-Editor

Wearable Motion Capture System Evaluation for Biomechanical Studies for Hip Joints
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Human motion capture (MOCAP) systems are vital while determining the loads occurring at the joints. Most of the clinical MOCAP systems are very costly, requiring investment and infrastructure. Therefore, alternative ... -
A Thorax Marker Set Model to Analyse the Kinematics of Walking Without the Need to Place Markers on the Back
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2021)Background: Previous thorax models have been proposed for gait analysis, however these require markers to be placed on the back. This presents a limitation in the kinematic analysis of the thorax under load carriage ... -
