... was to enhance the device design by reducing the size of the device, and device design was enhanced by minimizing measurement errors through development of a new ergonomic left and right foot instrument located medial to the first MTPJ (instead of beneath the foot). The first MTPJ stiffness (N mm/kg radian...

... conditions, as increases in stretch yielded decreases in fluid pressurization following a contraction, resulting from counteracting Poisson effects. Model pressure also varied spatially, with the highest gradients located near aponeuroses. These findings may explain variability of in vivo IMP measurements...

Bioinstrumentation Biomechanics Physiological systems Measurements Biomedical engineers play a crucial role in translating research and innovation in academia and industry as they are positioned at the interface between engineering and medicine. Many universities around the world are now offering degree...

.... It is with this purpose in mind that we performed particle image velocimetry (PIV) measurements of velocity fields within flows through a simplified coronary bifurcation. Although the flow in this simplified bifurcation differs from the actual blood flow, it emulates the main fluid dynamic mechanisms found in hemodynamic...

...Calvin Kuo; Jake Sganga; Michael Fanton; David B. Camarillo Wearable sensors embedded with inertial measurement units have become commonplace for the measurement of head impact biomechanics, but individual systems often suffer from a lack of measurement fidelity. While some researchers have focused...

... RPI is viewed as a potential alternative and explored in this study. Using the RPI measurements, total indentation distance (TID), creep indentation distance, indentation force, and the unloading slope, we have developed a numerical analysis procedure using the Oliver–Pharr (O/P) method to estimate...
