In this scientific study, the question of the influence of the quantization error on the CoP measurement is be clarified. For this purpose, the quantization error is investigated in two scenarios, first with the technical/physical reproduction of the...
A thorough biomechanical understanding of human organs is of increasing importance for designing and improving a wide range of medical technologies from simulators to medical devices. Despite the crucial need for data, little procedure-specific biome...
Altered movement patterns during single-leg movements in soccer increase the risk of lower-extremity non-contact injuries. The identification of biomechanical parameters associated with lower-extremity injuries can enrich knowledge of injury risks an...
This paper aims to develop a regression model that explains the relationship between changes in lumbar joint stiffness and pelvic alignment (posture or shape of the bones of the pelvis and lumbar spine) due to pelvic tightening. The proposed model is...
Rotator cuff tears are often linked to superior translational instability, but a thorough understanding of glenohumeral motion is lacking. This study aimed to assess the reliability of fluoroscopically measured glenohumeral translation during a shoul...
Gait analysis has applications in medical diagnosis, biometrics, and development of therapeutic rehabilitation interventions (such as orthotics, prosthetics, and exoskeletons). While offering accurate measurements, gait laboratories are expensive, no...
Cognitive movement control tests are hypothesized to reveal reduced coordination variability, a feature of motor behaviour linked to clinical presentations. Exploration of this proposition via kinematic analysis of test pass and fail conditions is ye...
During locomotion, the foot–ankle system plays an important role for forward progression of the body. The center of pressure (COP) is regarded as the point of the ground reaction force (GRF) vector acting on the foot surface during the stance p...
Ascending Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (ATAA) is a permanent dilatation of the aorta which is usually related to tissue degeneration, hemodynamic conditions, lifestyle, environmental and genetic factors. As the mechanical conditions can become critical i...
Low back pain represents a major economic and societal challenge due to its high prevalence. Lumbar orthoses are one of the recommended treatments. Even if previous results showed their clinical effects, the detailed mode of action is still poorly kn...
Patients with end stage renal disease require some form of vascular access for treatment, with Arterio-Venous Fistulas (avf) being the preferred form available due to better patency rates. However, they continue to present complications after creatio...
The objective of this paper is to present our findings on the biomechanical aspects of the virgin passive anisotropic hyperelasticity of the porcine colon based on equibiaxial tensile experiments. Firstly, the characterization of the intestine tissue...
