Abstract Developing musculoskeletal hand models requires a variety of experimental biomechanics data. However, collecting robust biomechanics hand data is a time intensive process leading to a lack of widely available da...

Abstract Background Advanced footwear technologies (AFT) are popular for their potential performance benefits, though concerns about injury risks persist. Among various AFT features, sole thickness is particularly debate...

Objective: In this finite element study, the biomechanical effects of force application at different lingual versus labial sites on a maxillary central incisor with alveolar bone loss and proclination were compared. Meth...

Abstract Objective The relationship between muscle function recovery and biomechanical alterations after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during high-risk movements remains unclear. This study aimed to in...

Background: Scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) is a key metric for evaluating shoulder joint function. Current established methods of SHR analysis involve 3-dimensional (3D) to 2-dimensional (2D) registration, which requires si...

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has transformed significantly over the past forty years, progressing from a salvage intervention for cuff tear arthropathy to a fundamental component of contemporary shoulder reconstru...

The determination of the optimal prosthesis alignment for maximum patient comfort is an important rehabilitation goal, especially for lower limb amputees, where the assessment of biomechanics is complex. Despite this, qu...

Aim & background: The penalty corner in field hockey has become an important avenue for scoring goals, with the drag flick and hit being the two commonly employed shot techniques. Previous research in field hockey hi...

Abstract Purpose To design a coach-interpretable movement quality score for badminton footwork training using an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system. Methodology We derived compact biomechanical descriptors of timing, ...

Abstract Background Ankle arthrodesis is an established procedure for end-stage ankle osteoarthritis. Besides the known limited functionality, gait and foot arch changes are accompanying pathologies, which are little inv...

Background: The squat is a fundamental lower-body exercise that activates key muscles, including the rectus femoris, vastus medialis oblique, biceps femoris, and semitendinosus. Variations in angle and stability may inf...

Abstract Introduction The learning curve refers to the relationship between a learner's execution of a task and the number of attempts or time necessary to perform it in a predictable, reliable, and optimal fashion. The ...

Abstract Background Leg length discrepancy (LLD) has been implicated as a biomechanical factor contributing to hip osteoarthritis (OA), yet the extent of its influence remains unclear. This study examines the correlation...

ABSTRACT Cancer metastasis is the leading cause of cancer‐related mortality, involving complex interactions between tumor cells and the mechanically heterogeneous tumor microenvironment. The cell nucleus serves as a ce...

Introduction: This pilot study investigated the effects of ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficiency on the biomechanical properties of intact anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in a porcine model, a biological condition t...

ABSTRACT Background and Aims Edentulism significantly affects oral function and quality of life, particularly among mandibular complete denture wearers, where reduced retention and stability remain common clinical challe...

Emotion recognition is a relevant capability for understanding human behavior, enabling interactive systems to support natural interaction with their users. Among the diverse ways the literature tackles this task, gait e...

Locomotion in animals such as fish, snakes, inchworms, and octopuses exhibits a remarkable diversity, with each species utilizing distinct body morphologies and movement strategies. Currently, no existing kinematic model...

Background. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) affect the TMJ, masticatory muscles, and related structures. They are critical in sports medicine, as athletes face unique stressors—from facial trauma to exertional bruxi...

Background: The calcaneus is the most fractured tarsal bone and plays an important role as part of the subtalar joint to transfer weight from the lower limb to the ground. Injury to this structure and alteration of weigh...

The effectiveness of piezoelectric footwear depends on accurately identifying the areas of the shoe that experience the greatest pressure during walking or running. These high-pressure zones are ideal for placing piezoel...

BackgroundOptimal uterine closure at cesarean delivery remains unsettled, as most comparative trials emphasize the number of layers rather than surgical biomechanics. We tested whether a layered precision (LP) suturing t...
