Volume-Pressure Curves of the Human Arm [PDF]
Circulation Research, 1957 After interruption of the circulation, pressure changes in the brachial artery and a forearm vein were recorded and plotted against volume of blood injected intra-arterially expressed in ml./100 cc. of arm tissue. The resulting volume-pressure curves showed a steep rise with the first injection, a linear rise in the center section and a rapid increase ...

Contact pressures in the human hip joint [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1987 The pressure distribution between the cartilaginous surfaces in the human hip joint was measured using pressure-sensitive film. Five cadaveric hip joints (aged between 58 and 87 years) were measured at three positions and loads, representing three instants in the stance phase of the walking cycle.
