3D printed scaffolds can be used, for example, in medical applications for simulating body tissues or for manufacturing prostheses. However, it is difficult to print porous structures of specific porosity and pore size ...

The aim of this paper is to present a computational benchmark for gait analysis that has been developed in order to share real data captured in a biomechanics laboratory and the results of the inverse dynamic analysis. ...

Background. The study of the deformation of curved rods subjected to bending and its associated stress state is a complex task that has not been treated in depth in the literature, which makes difficult to obtain constitutive ...

The mechanical induction of specific cell phenotypes can only be properly controlled if the local stimuli applied to the cells are known as a function of the external applied loads. Finite element analysis of the cell ...

Objectives: Perform a systematic review for the most relevant pelvic injury research involving PMHS. The review begins with an explanation of the pelvic anatomy and a general description of pelvic fracture patterns followed ...

Elastic actuators can provide safe human-robot interaction and energy efficient mobility. For this purpose they are ideal for wearable robotic applications. However, such actuators are subject to stiffness faults. We present ...

Robotic gait training after spinal cord injury is of high priority to maximize independence and improve the health condition of these patients. Current rehabilitation robots are expensive and heavy, and are generally found ...

Durante determinadas actividades, sólo uno de los principales grupos musculares que cruzan la rodilla ejerce fuerza. En tales casos, los ligamentos de la rodilla deben estar cargados. Las fuerzas del ligamento pueden ser ...
