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

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 ...

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.
