Effectiveness and importance of powered tooth brushes in tooth movement

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2019
Introduction: Effectiveness of vibratory stimulus from a commonly available battery-powered tooth brush in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement was tested by a randomized controlled split-mouth study.

Frequency-specific sensitivity of 3T3-L1 preadipocytes to low-intensity vibratory stimulus during adipogenesis

In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2022
Adipocyte accumulation in the bone marrow is a severe complication leading to bone defects and reduced regenerative capacity. Application of external mechanical signals to bone marrow cellular niche is a non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical methodology to improve osteogenesis and suppress adipogenesis. However, in the literature, the specific parameters

The Effects of Bilateral Phase-Dependent Closed-Loop Vibration Stimulation With Motor Imagery Paradigm

IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2022
Vibration stimulation has been shown to have the potential to improve the activation pattern of unilateral motor imagery (MI) and to promote motor recovery.

The effect of surface wave propagation on neural responses to vibration in primate glabrous skin.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Because tactile perception relies on the response of large populations of receptors distributed across the skin, we seek to characterize how a mechanical deformation of the skin at one location affects the skin at another.

How Can Cattle Be Toilet Trained? Incorporating Reflexive Behaviours into a Behavioural Chain

Animals, 2020
Untrained cattle do not defecate or urinate in defined locations. The toilet training of cattle would allow urine and faeces to be separated and stored, reducing climate-damaging emissions and improving animal health.

Multiplexing stimulus information through rate and temporal codes in primate somatosensory cortex. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2013
Our ability to perceive and discriminate textures relies on the transduction and processing of complex, high-frequency vibrations elicited in the fingertip as it is scanned across a surface.

A Non-Invasive Medical Device for Parkinson’s Patients with Episodes of Freezing of Gait

Sensors, 2019
A critical symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the occurrence of Freezing of Gait (FOG), an episodic disorder that causes frequent falls and consequential injuries in PD patients.

Measurement of Vibrating Tympanic Membrane in an In Vivo Mouse Model Using Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography

Journal of Imaging, 2019
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has a micro-resolution with a penetration depth of about 2 mm and field of view of about 10 mm. This makes OCT well suited for analyzing the anatomical and internal structural assessment of the middle ear.

Effect of Mechanical Stimulation Applied to the Lower-Limb Musculature on Stability and Function of Stair Climbing

Applied Sciences, 2020
Mechanical muscle-tendon vibration affects musculature and the nervous system. As the vibrations used in previous studies were varied, consistently determining the effect of mechanical vibration was challenging.
