Endeavour, 1995
A large proportion of the population either snores or suffers the snoring of others. Recent advances with the use of fibre-optic endoscopes have enabled surgeons to observe the inside of the pharynx while a patient is asleep and snoring. In this article we look at the underlying structure of the upper airway and explain, with the use of simple ...

Biomechanics and the cyberhuman
IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2002The first modern-day studies of the human body's mechanics - biomechanics - were done at Wayne State University (WSU) in Detroit, Michigan, in 1939. By the late thirties cars were becoming common and so were accidents. To know how to make cars safer, engineers needed to know what the human body could take.

The biomechanical analysis in dental area represents a relevant task in biomedical research. Universities, research centers, and industrial laboratories show a growing interest in investigating different aspects such as dental biomaterials performances, soft and hard tissue mechanics, dental implants, and orthodontics devices reliability, by means of ...

The Importance of Biomechanics
2002When neuroscientists gather to discuss "Movement and Sensation", they tend to discuss neurons rather than muscles and bones. Neurons may be more interesting, but their roles in motor control depend on the mechanical properties of the system to be controlled.

Rehabilitation and biomechanics
Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1991In the area of rehabilitation and biomechanics, several articles divided into five categories, including therapeutic heat, foot and ankle orthotics, exercise in elderly arthritis patients, muscle strengthening in rheumatoid arthritis, and arthroplasty and immobilization are reviewed.

Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2010
As the primary link between the trunk and the lower limb, the hip joint plays an important role in the generation and transmission of forces during routine activities of daily living and athletic activities alike. This joint is characterized by an extraordinary amount of inherent bony stability, with differences in osseous anatomy significantly ...

Der Orthopäde, 2000
The shoulder joint takes a special position among all the other joints of the human body because of its special requirements of stability and mobility. Knowledge of the biomechanics of the shoulder joint forms the basis for the development of modern concepts of reconstructive surgery and arthroplasty.

The biomechanics of abfraction
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 2006The role of occlusal loading in the development of non-carious cervical lesions is becoming increasingly prominent. It is suggested that high occlusal loads result in large stress concentrations in the cervical region of the teeth. These stresses may be high enough to cause disruption of the bonds between the hydroxyapatite crystals, eventually ...

Journal of Biomechanics, 1991
At least Seven studies, those of Huijing and Woittiez (1984), Woittiez et al. (1984), Otten (1985x Kaufman et al. (1989), An et al. (1989), Hoy et al. (199O), and Pandy et al. (199O), from four centers located in The Netherlands and U.S.A., have employed muscle models equal to, or within close approximation to Stenscn’s muscle model described in 1667 ...

Physical Therapy, 1986
To the Editor: As an engineer and physiologist who has been active in the teaching and research of biomechanics for over two decades, I read with interest your December 1984 special issue on biomechanics. I was aware of some of the individual contributions to this issue and commend your efforts to upgrade American physical therapists' understanding of ...
