Children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) have damage to the corticospinal tracts that are responsible for selective motor control (SMC). Force, velocity and timing of joint movement are related biomechanical features controlled by the corticospinal tracts (CSTs) that are important for skilled movement. Does SMC influence knee joint biomechanics in...

Concrete is widely recognized as a primary structural material worldwide and is extensively employed across diverse construction sectors. It ranks as the second most consumed material by humans, following water. While past research has predominantly focused on assessing the static and dynamic performance of concrete, there has been a noticeable lac...

We aimed to evaluate the screw-in force, torque generation, and performance of three nickel-titanium (NiTi) glide-path files with different rotational kinetics. ProTaper Ultimate Slider (PULS) and HyFlex EDM Glide-path (HEDG) files were used for canal shaping with constant rotation (CON) or the alternative rotation technique (ART). In the ART mode,...

The accurate placement of pedicle screws is crucial for various spinal interventions, demanding precise geometric alignment while carrying inherent risks. Studies show that the rate of complications can reach up to 18% in case of imprecise placement of pedicle screws. To enhance the precision and safety of pedicle screw placement, we have developed...

Electric vehicle manufacturers are increasingly adopting the non-rare-earth Wound Rotor Synchronous Machine (WRSM) due to its relatively low cost, wide speed range, and adjustable power factor. However, the operating conditions with torque disturbances and continuous speed variations present challenges to the robustness and dynamic performance of t...

The aim was to compare the transfer of dry-land strength and power (S&P) of the shoulder into thrust in front-crawl between swimmers of different competitive levels. Four elite and six sub-elite swimmers were selected to perform a dry-land or an in-water test in random order. The dry-land S&P measurements comprised mean torque, peak torque and mean...

Weighted baseballs have become a popular method for training baseball pitchers. In the basic scientific sense, increasing the weight of baseballs ultimately increases the amount of torque in the joints of action (elbow and shoulder) during the throwing motion. This metric helps provide insight into kinematic mechanisms behind weighted baseballs tra...

This article describes a class II subdivision malocclusion successfully treated by an invisible lingual appliance. The combination of en-masse distalization by interradicular palatal mini-screws and inner unilateral class II auxiliaries, first by intermaxillary elastic, later by a class II coil spring, resulted in a dento-alveolar correction, allow...

The ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ADF-ROM) during single support phase allows elastic energy storage in the calcaneal tendon, contributing to advance the body forward. Reduced ADF-ROM may influence lower limb kinetics and stiffness. What is the influence of reduced passive ADF-ROM on lower limb internal moments and stiffness during gait? Thir...
