Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) degenerative joint disease (DJD) involves progressive osseous changes and is commonly associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD). Cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating these changes. However, the relationship between clinical signs and symptoms, such as

Detecting muscle activation using ultrasound speed of sound inversion with deep learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Functional muscle imaging is essential for diagnostics of a multitude of musculoskeletal afflictions such as degenerative muscle diseases, muscle injuries, muscle atrophy, and neurological related issues such as spasticity. However, there is currently no solution, imaging or otherwise, capable of providing a map of active muscles over a large field of ...

Adaptive Body Schema Learning System Considering Additional Muscles for Musculoskeletal Humanoids [PDF]
One of the important advantages of musculoskeletal humanoids is that the muscle arrangement can be easily changed and the number of muscles can be increased according to the situation. In this study, we describe an overall system of muscle addition for musculoskeletal humanoids and the adaptive body schema learning while taking into account the ...

The model of circular and longitudinal smooth muscle motions in the motility of intestinal segment [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Coordination in circular and longitudinal muscle motions are of crucial importance in the motor function of gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Intestinal wall motions depend on myogenic-active properties of smooth muscles layers of intestinal wall, which is the ability to create active contractile forces in response to distension.

Changes in Disc Status and Condylar Regeneration After Intracapsular Condylar Fractures in Rabbits
Oral Diseases, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The treatment procedure for intracapsular condylar fractures (ICF) is still being debated. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc is a key factor for treating ICF. The study aims to investigate the changes in TMJ disc status and condylar cartilage regeneration following ICF in a rabbit model, to assist in planning treatment ...

Muscles in Time: Learning to Understand Human Motion by Simulating Muscle Activations [PDF]
arXivExploring the intricate dynamics between muscular and skeletal structures is pivotal for understanding human motion. This domain presents substantial challenges, primarily attributed to the intensive resources required for acquiring ground truth muscle activation data, resulting in a scarcity of datasets.
