Patients sitting in a wheelchair may spend hours in a relatively fixed position, with their lower back forced away from its natural lordotic curvature. This prolonged sitting was reported to be linked ...more
Among other causes the long-term result of hip prostheses in dogs is determined by aseptic loosening. A prevention of prosthesis complications can be achieved by an optimization of the tribological ...more
In total knee replacement, patello-femoral issues are responsible for up to 50% of all revisions. Nevertheless, the mechanics of the patello-femoral joint have not been investigated as well as the ...more
The purpose of this study is to evaluate muscular strength which the femoral region as a distance variation between a seat and pedal of indoor cycle during cycle exercise. The muscles measured with ...more
This paper presents a numerical model of the boat–oars–rower system in a three-dimensional
multibody dynamics approach using the ADAMS commercial software. The system
is composed of four main ...more
In this study, biomechanical parameters of lower
limb joints due to motion changes have been estimated to
develop the 3-D model that can analyze dynamic gait simulation
for wearable walking ...more
This paper presents the main results from a research aiming at the design of an electromechanical actuator for use in the rehabilitation of ankle motor function in patients suffering due to ...more
A model is a mathematical representation of a system being studied, whether it is a
drug delivery model, an injury progression model or a biomechanical model like the
ones used in REAL. The ...more
This paper investigates the dynamic design methodology of mountain bikes with rear suspension. Firstly, a multi-rigid body dynamic model of rider and mountain bike coupled system is constructed. The ...more
The purpose of this paper was to compare the kinematics of a PFC Sigma® rotating platform posterior cruciate-retaining total knee (DePuy, Warsaw, IN), using computational models of two different ...more
Virtual knee models have been created over the years to study artificial
knee components in a simulated anatomic environment similar to
physical knee simulators. The kinematics of a fixed bearing ...more
Computer simulations using multibody models have been extensively applied to vehicular crash testing but have rarely been used to investigate falls. This article investigated planar and ...more
According to the design and analysis needs of man-machine interface in mechanical system in dynamic environment, a 4-DOF vertical vibration model of the human upper body of man-machine system is set ...more
Taekwondo is a martial art form and sport that uses the hands and feet for attack and defense. Taekwondo basic motion is composed of the breaking, competition and poomsea motions. The side kick is one ...more
Many studies have emphasized the importance of
resistive exercise to maintain a healthy human body, particular in
prevention of weakening of physical strength. Recently, some studies
advocated that ...more
Design optimization is a procedure for getting the best (optimum) design with respect to a single or a set of specific performance criteria (objective functions) through the systematic and iterative ...more
<p> Due to the introduction of assistant robot systems, the complete separation of the human from the robot’s workspace is no longer the only option for operation. Therefore, the discussion on ...more
This paper describes the preliminary design of a light, high stability, robotic system for elderly assistance. The mechanisms used for such assisting devices must exhibit complex mechanical functions ...more
The medical field is one in which the need for customisation can be clear cut, as providing tailored devices and implants for unique physiologies can provide for a better overall treatment than the ...more
Stable walking, in particular the balance and postural stability during gait, has been widely studied in robotics. However, only a few studies have used angular momentum about the center of mass (CoM) ...more
