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 ...

Biomechanical Effects of Proximal Polyetheretherketone Rod Extension on the Upper Instrumented and Adjacent Levels in a Human Long-Segment Construct: A Cadaveric Model [PDF]
Neurospine, 2022 Objective The high mechanical stress zone at the sudden transition from a rigid to flexible region is involved in proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) physiopathology. We evaluated the biomechanical performance of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) rods used as a

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 ...

Analysis of medial deviation of center of pressure after initial heel contact in forefoot varus
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2016 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.
