A three-dimensional finite element model of maximal grip loading in the human wrist [PDF]

, 2009
The aim of this work was to create an anatomically accurate three-dimensional finite element model of the wrist, applying subject-specific loading and quantifying the internal load transfer through the joint during maximal grip.

Remote Control of Hand Actuators via Glove Sensors for Medical Care Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel textile‐based sensory glove–actuator system for remote medical care, explored through finite element simulations. By integrating capacitive sensors, pneumatic actuators, and machine learning, the system models real‐time hand movement control.

Transfer bond stresses generated between FRP tendons and concrete [PDF]

, 1999
There is a growing interest in the use of new materials in construction. Materials such as fibre-reinforced plastics (FRPs) are lightweight, strong, and, for the most part, non-corrodible.

Lower trapezius transfer with semitendinosus tendon augmentation

Obere Extremitat, 2018
BackgroundLower trapezius transfer can restore external rotation in brachial plexus palsies. In some cuff tear arthropathies, there is lack of active external rotation with a preservation of forward elevation.

Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

Relationships between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, explosiveness and eccentric leg stiffness in adolescent athletes [PDF]

, 2015
The purpose of the present study was to determine whether any relationships were present between lower-body muscle structure and, lower-body strength, variables measured during a counter-movement jump (CMJ) and squat jump (SJ), and eccentric leg ...

Multiobjective Codesign Optimization of a Planar Pneumatic Artificial Muscle‐Based Snake‐Like Robot for Enhanced Agility and Energy Efficiency

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A codesign multiobjective optimization framework was developed to enhance the morphology and controller of a snake‐like robot driven by artificial muscles. It improved planar locomotion, agility, and power efficiency. The approach optimized link geometry and controller gains, revealing that shorter muscles near joints and longer linkages maximize ...

Pectoralis major transfer over vs. under the conjoint tendon for the treatment of irreparable subscapularis rupture: a systematic review comparing clinical outcomes, complications, and failure rates

JSES Reviews, Reports, and Techniques
Background: Transfer of the pectoralis major muscle tendon unit has proven to be an effective solution for reconstituting the force couple after rotator cuff tears involving an irreparable subscapularis tendon.

Tendon lengthening and transfer

Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2015
Tendon lengthening and transfer are usually indicated for certain neuromuscular disorders, peripheral or central nerve injury, congenital disorder or direct traumatic or degenerative musculotendinous lesion. In musculotendinous lengthening, technique depends on muscle anatomy, degree of correction required, and the need to avoid excessive loss of force.
