In vivo measurement of human brain elasticity using a light aspiration device [PDF]
The brain deformation that occurs during neurosurgery is a serious issue impacting the patient "safety" as well as the invasiveness of the brain surgery. Model-driven compensation is a realistic and efficient solution to solve this problem.

Influence of treadmill training in dual-task gait in people with Parkinson's Disease: a case report
The loss in the automaticity of gait hinders the performance of concurrent activities - Dual Task (DT) - in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). One hypothesis for the negative interference of DT on gait is related to the limitation of attention ...

A novel approach to modelling and simulating the contact behaviour between a human hand model and a deformable object [PDF]
A deeper understanding of biomechanical behaviour of human hands becomes fundamental for any human hand-operated Q2 activities. The integration of biomechanical knowledge of human hands into product design process starts to play an increasingly important

Analysis of medial deviation of center of pressure after initial heel contact in forefoot varus
After initial heel contact, the rearfoot everts and causes medial deviation of the center of pressure (CoP). Although rearfoot angle in single-limb stance has been associated with forefoot varus (FV) ≥ 8°, medial CoP deviation has not.
