Detecting Postural Instability in Parkinson’s Disease From IMU-Based Objective Measures
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation EngineeringParkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder that affects both motor and non-motor functions. A critical aspect of PD is postural instability, which is associated with a higher risk of falls and a significant decline in mobility.

Acoustomechanics of semicrystalline polymers
Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2016 We develop an acoustomechanical theory for semicrystalline polymers and demonstrate that acoustic radiation force is capable of causing giant deformation in these materials.

The Pull Test: A Dynamic Test to Confirm Hip Microinstability
Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, 2019 Purpose: To define a distraction distance (pull length) cut-off that would differentiate those patients with hip microinstability and those without the disorder, called the Pull-Out Test.

Temperature Sensitivity of Silicon Cantilevers with the Pull-in Instability Method
Procedia Chemistry, 2009 AbstractIn this paper the temperature effects on [110] Silicon cantilevers is analyzed and measured in the range of 25 -100 °C. The quasi-static electrostatic pull-in instability method developed recently for ultra-thin cantilevers [“Characterizing Size-dependent Effective Elastic Modulus of Silicon Nanocantilevers Using Electrostatic Pull-in ...
