The influence of equine hoof conformation on the initiation and progression of laminitis

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 55, Issue 5, Page 862-871, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Background The health and performance of horses are significantly affected by diseases associated with the hoof. Laminitis is a critical hoof disease that causes pain and, potentially, severe hoof and bone pathology. Objective To generate an equine hoof finite element (FE) model to investigate the impact of normal and toe‐in hoof conformations

Acute Effects of Stretching Exercises on Posterior Chain: Analysis of Shear Modulus by Elastography SSI

Translational Sports Medicine, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
The posterior chain muscles of the lower limb include the hamstrings and triceps surae, along with the Achilles tendon. This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of static stretching exercises commonly used in clinical and training settings on the shear modulus (µ) of these muscles and tendon using Supersonic Shear‐Wave Imaging (SSI ...

FallSkip device is a useful tool for fall risk assessment in sarcopenic older community people

International Journal of Older People Nursing, Volume 17, Issue 3, May 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose Fall prevention is a major health concern for the ageing population. Sarcopenia is considered a risk factor for falls. Some instruments, such as Time Up and Go (TUG), are used for screening risk. The use of sensors has also been shown to be a viable tool that can provide accurate, cost‐effective, and easy to manage assessment of fall ...

Overall dynamic body acceleration measures activity differently on large versus small aquatic animals

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 2, Page 447-458, February 2022., 2022
Abstract Acceleration‐based proxies for activity and energy expenditure are widely used in bio‐logging studies of animal movement and locomotion to explore biomechanical strategies, energetic costs of behaviour, habitat use and the impact of anthropogenic disturbance.

Nucleus Disc Replacement: Design and Material Selection FEA Analysis

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Study Design. We selected the materials and implant design and performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) studies. Background. Nucleus disc replacements, implanted since 1960, have undergone continuous evolution in materials and designs, but subsidence, extrusion, and in vivo degradation limit widespread use. Aim.

Compressed Lateral and anteroposterior Anatomical Systematic Sequences «CLASS»: compressed MRI sequences with assessed anatomical femoral and tibial ACL's footprints, a feasibility study

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 9, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
Abstract Purpose This study's main objective is to assess the feasibility of processing the MRI information with identified ACL‐footprints into 2D‐images similar to a conventional anteroposterior and lateral X‐Ray image of the knee. The secondary aim is to conduct specific measurements to assess the reliability and reproducibility.

Web databases of feather photographs are useful tools for avian morphometry studies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 7677-7684, June 2021., 2021
Wing area and aspect ratio are key variables for studies of avian comparative ecology, despite the complexity of measuring them both in living and in museum specimens. The systematic databases of feather photographs available on the Internet may offer an alternative way of obtaining such morphometric data.
