Agent-based Modeling and Simulation of Human Muscle For Development of Human Gait Analyzer Application [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Despite the fact that only a small portion of muscles are affected in motion disease and disorders, medical therapies do not distinguish between healthy and unhealthy muscles. In this paper, a method is devised in order to calculate the neural stimuli of the lower body during gait cycle and check if any group of muscles are not acting properly.

The energy of muscle contraction. II. Transverse compression and work [PDF]

, 2020
In this study we reproduced this compression-induced reduction in muscle force through the use of a three-dimensional finite element model of contracting muscle. The model used the principle of minimum total energy and allowed for the redistribution of energy through different strain energy-densities; this allowed us to determine the importance of the ...

Presumptive Intramuscular Hemangioma of the Masseter Muscle [PDF]

American Journal of Case Reports, 2015
Hemangioma is a benign vascular proliferation. Intramuscular hemangiomas are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all hemangiomas, and occur normally in the trunk and extremities. Approximately 10-20% of intramuscular hemangiomas are found in the head and neck region, most often in the masseter muscles.

An ultrasonographic evaluation of masseter muscle thickness in different dentofacial patterns

Indian Journal of Dental Research, 2012
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the masseter muscle thickness in different vertical dentofacial patterns and identify the possible sexual dimorphism and also to correlate masseter muscle thickness with craniofacial morphology using ...

Cephalometric studies of the mandible, its masticatory muscles and vasculature of growing Göttingen Minipigs — A comparative anatomical study to refine experimental mandibular surgery [PDF]

, 2019
Over many decades, the Göttingen Minipig has been used as a large animal model in experimental surgical research of the mandible. Recently several authors have raised concerns over the use of the Göttingen Minipig in this research area, observing ...

Impact of geniohyoid and masseter muscle masses on dysphagia after salvage surgery and radiotherapy in head and neck cancer

Scientific Reports, 2021
This study aimed to determine whether geniohyoid and/or masseter muscle mass can predict the severity of dysphagia after salvage surgery for head and neck cancer.

Validity and sensitivity of a human cranial finite element model: Implications for comparative studies of biting performance [PDF]

, 2015
Finite element analysis (FEA) is a modelling technique increasingly used in anatomical studies investigating skeletal form and function. In the case of the cranium this approach has been applied to both living and fossil taxa to (for example) investigate
