Lumped parameter model (LPM) is a common numerical model for hemodynamic simulation of human's blood circulatory system. The numerical simulation of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a typical biomechanical simulation process based on the LPM of blood circulatory system. In order to simulate patient-specific hemodynamic effects of EECP a...

People with acute neck pain commonly present with restricted neck movement. However, it is unknown whether the presence of acute pain affects the quality of neck movement, specifically neck movement variability. We examined the effects of acute neck muscle soreness induced via eccentric exercise in healthy volunteers, on the variability of neck mov...

Balance and lower limb strength deficits are associated with a high incidence of falls in older adults. This study investigated the association between balance control during and after stair descent onto a compliant surface and lower limb strength. Thirty-five women and 14 men participated in this study. Stair descent time, mean center of pressure ...

Running is a modality that has a large number of adepts, including women. Therefore, it is important to understand how sportswear can help women, with special attention to the breast movement. The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of different combinations of breast support and footwear on the breast movement during walking and running. T...

Osteoporosis is a disease prevalent in older adults, characterized by high porosity in bone and subsequent decrease in fracture resistance. This demographic is also the population that most frequently receives devices such as hip implants. However, high porosity complicates surgery and reduces the fixation and effectiveness of orthopaedic devices, ...

When skin-markers trajectories are used in human movement analysis, compensating for their relative movement with respect to the underlying bone (soft tissue artefact, STA) is essential for accurate bone-pose estimation; information about the artefact is required in the form of a mathematical model. Such model, not available for pelvic artefacts, c...

Isokinetic dynamometers are the gold standard tools used to assess in vivo joint and muscle function in human subjects, however, the large size and high cost of these devices prevents their widespread use outside of traditonal biomechanics labs. In this study, we developed a mobile dynamometer to allow for field measurements of joint level function...

Thrombus permeability determines blood flow through the occluding thrombus in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. The quantification of thrombus permeability is challenging since it cannot be directly measured nor derived from radiological imaging data. As a proxy of thrombus permeability, thrombus perviousness has been introduced, which assesses...

In the past decade, high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has uncovered the presence of high-frequency flow instabilities (on the order of 100 s of Hz) in a variety of cardiovascular applications. These fluctuations are typically reported as pulsatile velocity-time traces or fast-Fourier-transformed power-frequency spectra, often from a ...

Mechanical properties of cancellous bone is of increasing interest due to its involvement in aging pathologies and oncology. Characterization of fragile bone tissue is challenging and available methodologies include quasi-static compressive tests of small size specimens, ultrasound and indentation techniques. We hypothesized that modal analysis of ...
