An MRI-based leg model used to simulate biomechanical phenomena during cuff algometry: a finite element study [PDF]
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2015 Cuff pressure stimulation is applicable for assessing deep-tissue pain sensitivity by exciting a variety of deep-tissue nociceptors. In this study, the relative transfer of biomechanical stresses and strains from the cuff via the skin to the muscle and the somatic tissue layers around bones were investigated.

Multi-scale biomechanical study of transport phenomena in the intervertebral disc
, 2023 Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is primarily involved in back pain, a morbidity that strongly affects the quality of life of individuals nowadays. Lumbar IVDs undergo stressful mechanical loads while being the largest avascular tissues in our body: Mechanical principles alone cannot unravel the intricate phenomena that occur at the cellular ...

Micromotion Phenomena at the Implant Bone Interface: A Biomechanical and Histomorphometric Study
Journal of Dental and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2018 Purpose: Excessive micromotion at the implant-bone interface may result in fibrous encapsulation instead of osseointegration of dental implants. This study quantified micromotion of implants placed in polyurethane foam and sheep tibia and tried to establish correlations with histologic parameters. Method: Dental implants (n=5) were placed in the tibiae

Influence of treadmill training in dual-task gait in people with Parkinson's Disease: a case report
Fisioterapia e Pesquisa, 2014 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 ...

PeerJ, 2020 Runners on average do not have a high risk of developing knee osteoarthritis, even though running places very high loads on the knee joint. Here we used gait analysis, musculoskeletal modeling, and a discrete-element model of knee contact mechanics to estimate strains of the medial knee cartilage in walking and running in 22 young adults (age 23 ± 3 ...
