Biomechanical Computed Tomography analysis (BCT) for clinical assessment of osteoporosis. [PDF]

, 2020
The surgeon general of the USA defines osteoporosis as "a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength, predisposing to an increased risk of fracture." Measuring bone strength, Biomechanical Computed Tomography analysis (BCT), namely ...

An Analysis of Theories in Biomechanics

Engineering Transactions, 2001
Summary: The nature of the systems commonly thought of as coming into the remit of biomechanics range from `mechanical' systems (concerned with the design of medical devices, such as implants) to `mechanobiological' systems (concerned with the response of tissues, cells, and biomolecules to mechanical forces).

Associations of region-specific foot pain and foot biomechanics: the framingham foot study [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND. Specific regions of the foot are responsible for the gait tasks of weight acceptance, single-limb support, and forward propulsion. With region foot pain, gait abnormalities may arise and affect the plantar pressure and force pattern utilized.

Ex-vivo biomechanical analysis of an original repair of canine calcaneal tendon rupture using a synthetic implant as mechanical support fixed by sutures in the proximal tendinous part and by an interference screw in the bone distal part

Open Veterinary Journal, 2023
Background: Rupture of the common calcaneal tendon is the second most frequent tendon rupture in dogs and may lead to severe lameness and pain. Surgical repair consists of re-apposition of the damaged tendon ends using sutures, but this type of repair ...

Understanding and overcoming the sticking point in resistance exercise [PDF]

, 2016
In the context of resistance training the so-called ‘‘sticking point’’ is commonly understood as the 9 position in a lift in which a disproportionately large increase in the difficulty to continue the lift is experienced.
