Patterned Structure Muscle : Arbitrary Shaped Wire-driven Artificial Muscle Utilizing Anisotropic Flexible Structure for Musculoskeletal Robots [PDF]
arXivMuscles of the human body are composed of tiny actuators made up of myosin and actin filaments. They can exert force in various shapes such as curved or flat, under contact forces and deformations from the environment. On the other hand, muscles in musculoskeletal robots so far have faced challenges in generating force in such shapes and environments ...

, 2017 Myofascial pain associated with temporomandibular disorders has often been linked to pathological muscle hyperactivity. As a result, localised disturbances of intramuscular blood flow could lead to a lower level of oxygen distribution, hypoxia and ...

The trophic effect of ciliary neurotrophic factor on injured masseter muscle in rat [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2015 Objective(s): Occlusal trauma is one of the most common forms of oral biting dysfunction. Long-term occlusal trauma could weaken the stomatognathic system; especially damage one’s masticatory muscle.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Botulinum toxin Type A (BTX‐A) is increasingly used in the management of myofascial pain; however, the evidence to support this treatment modality is still inconclusive. Objective To evaluate the change in days with functional jaw pain after one session of BTX‐A or placebo injections into the masseter and temporalis muscles in ...

Slow Limb Movements Require Precise Control of Muscle Stiffness [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Slow and accurate finger and limb movements are essential to daily activities, but their neural control and governing mechanics are relatively unexplored. We consider neuromechanical systems where slow movements are produced by neural commands that modulate muscle stiffness.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.Short‐term EMG assessments during tasks like a 15‐min reading may offer a viable alternative to prolonged monitoring for assessing nonfunctional masseter activity linked to awake bruxism (AB). ABSTRACT Background Awake bruxism involves masticatory muscle activity during wakefulness, potentially leading to clinical concerns.

Segmentation of Skeletal Muscle in Thigh Dixon MRI Based on Texture Analysis [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Segmentation of skeletal muscles in Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is essential for the study of muscle physiology and diagnosis of muscular pathologies. However, manual segmentation of large MRI volumes is a time-consuming task. The state-of-the-art on algorithms for muscle segmentation in MRI is still not very extensive and is somewhat database ...

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013 To examine the effects of the Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway on masseter muscle hypertrophy and myosin heavy chain (MHC) transition in response to mechanical overload, we analyzed the effects of bite-opening (BO) on the hypertrophy and ...
