Biomechanical‐to‐electrical energy conversion devices are uniquely suited for self‐driven physiological information monitoring and powering human–computer interaction systems. These devices based on micro‐/nanoarchitectured inorganic dielectric materials (MNIDMs) have shown ultrahigh electromechanical performance and thus great potential for practical ...

An Atypical Case of Lumbar Scheuermanns Disease
Scheuermann diseases true etiology still remains unknown, but there appears to be a strong genetic as well as an environmental contribution. The kyphotic deformity is frequently attributed to "poor posture" which is still resulting in delayed diagnosis.

Human lumbar spine injury risk in dynamic combined compression and flexion loading [PDF]
Anticipating changes to vehicle interiors with future automated driving systems, the automobile industry recently has focused attention on crash response in relaxed postures with increased seatback recline. Prior research found that this posture may result in greater risk of lumbar spine injury in the event of a frontal crash.
