Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We report that femoral cortical thickness was strongly and negatively associated with secondary osteon porosity in an Australian autopsy sample, indicating that thicker cortices contained less porous secondary osteons. This allometric relationship held for the whole sample, males and sedentary well‐nourished individuals, but not for females or other ...

Correlation Between the New Bite Force Meter and GC Dental Prescale II
Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.This study evaluated a new one‐sided bite force meter (OBM‐01). In healthy and older adults, the device showed good reliability and moderate correlation with Dental Prescale II measurements. Habitual chewing side bite force was significantly higher, suggesting OBM‐01 may be useful for assessing oral function in clinical settings.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.The study aims to establish the Masticatory Adaptation Experience Questionnaire (MAEQ) and investigate age‐related factors of masticatory adaptation. ABSTRACT Background There are various tests to assess the individual performance of mastication. However, it has remained unknown how individuals used adaptive (e.g., ‘increasing time to chew’) and ...
