Towards an efficient inverse static model of a Festo actuator made of two antagonist muscles for hybrid control of its position and stiffness [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The Festo air muscle is today one of the most known commercial version of the so-called McKibben pneumatic artificial muscle. A major advantage of handmade McKibben muscles, as well as its commercial versions, lies in the possibility it offers of realizing antagonist muscle actuator on the model of the biceps-triceps system.

Aberrant muscle syndrome: Hypertrophy of the hand and arm due to aberrant muscles with or without hypertrophy of the muscles [PDF]
Congenital Anomalies, 2010 ABSTRACTFive patients were reported in our congenital anomaly registry who had six hands in total with muscular hyperplasia, aberrant muscles, ulnar drift of the fingers in the metacarpophalangeal (MP) joints, flexion contractures of the MP joints, and enlargement of the metacarpal spaces.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.In this work, melt electrowriting is used to fabricate a 3D printed scaffold design that generates engineered cardiac tissues with in‐plane contraction, mimicking natural myocardium. It is shown that these tissues display advanced maturation and functionality.

Precise Few-shot Fat-free Thigh Muscle Segmentation in T1-weighted MRI [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Precise thigh muscle volumes are crucial to monitor the motor functionality of patients with diseases that may result in various degrees of thigh muscle loss. T1-weighted MRI is the default surrogate to obtain thigh muscle masks due to its contrast between muscle and fat signals.

Role of microRNAs in skeletal muscle hypertrophy [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2014 Skeletal muscle comprises approximately 40% of body weight, and is important for locomotion, as well as for metabolic homeostasis. Adult skeletal muscle mass is maintained by a fine balance between muscle protein synthesis and degradation. In response to cytokines, nutrients, and mechanical stimuli, skeletal muscle mass is increased (hypertrophy ...

Molecular Mechanisms of Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy
Journal of Neuromuscular Diseases, 2021 Skeletal muscle hypertrophy can be induced by hormones and growth factors acting directly as positive regulators of muscle growth or indirectly by neutralizing negative regulators, and by mechanical signals mediating the effect of resistance exercise. Muscle growth during hypertrophy is controlled at the translational level, through the stimulation of ...

An Euler-Bernoulli-Type Beam Model of the Vocal Folds for Describing Curved and Incomplete Glottal Closure Patterns [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Incomplete glottal closure is a laryngeal configuration wherein the glottis is not fully obstructed prior to phonation. In this work, we introduce an Euler-Bernoulli composite beam vocal fold (VF) model that produces qualitatively similar incomplete glottal closure patterns as those observed in experimental and high-fidelity numerical studies, thus ...
