Whisker touch sensing guides locomotion in small, quadrupedal mammals [PDF]
, 2018 All small mammals have prominent facial whiskers that they employ as tactile sensors to guide navigation and foraging in complex habitats. Nocturnal, arboreal mammals tend to have the longest and most densely packed whiskers, and semi-aquatic mammals ...

Effect of Assistive Device for Neck Retraction (ANR) on Neck Muscles during Neck Retraction Exercise
Journal of Physical Therapy Science, 2013 [Purpose] The purpose of present study was to develop an exercise device for assisting neck retraction exercise and to investigate its effectiveness. [Subjects] Fifteen male subjects were recruited. [Methods] The subjects performed the neck retraction exercises with and without assistive device for neck retraction (ANR).

Quantitative Analysis of Muscle and Tendon Retraction in Chronic Rotator Cuff Tears [PDF]
The American Journal of Sports Medicine, 2011 Background: Musculotendinous retraction is a limiting factor for repair of long-standing rotator cuff tears. However, it is currently unknown to what extent the muscle and tendon contribute to the degree of total retraction. Further understanding of this may possibly influence the strategy of musculotendinous reconstruction.

Diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for colorectal tumor with positive muscle‐retracting sign
DEN Open, 2023 AbstractObjectivesEndoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for colorectal tumors with positive muscle‐retracting (MR) sign often results in incomplete resection or discontinuation owing to the difficulty of submucosal dissection. The present study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in diagnosing the MR sign and ...
