We propose the time-dependent generalization of an "ordinary" autonomous human biomechanics, in which total mechanical + biochemical energy is not conserved. We introduce a general framework for time-dependent biomechanics in terms of jet manifolds derived from the extended musculo-skeletal configuration manifold. The corresponding Riemannian geometrical evolution follows the Ricci flow diffusion. In particular, we show that the exponential-like decay of total biomechanical energy (due to exhaustion of biochemical resources) is closely related to the Ricci flow on the biomechanical configuration manifold.

OBJECTIVE Concussion is a common topic of research as a result of the short- and long-term effects it can have on the affected individual. Of particular interest is whether previous concussions can lead to a biomechanical susceptibility, or vulnerability, to incurring further head injuries, particularly for youth populations. The purpose of this research was to compare the impact biomechanics of a concussive event in terms of acceleration and brain strains of 2 groups of youths: those who had incurred a previous concussion and those who had not. It was hypothesized that the youths with a history of concussion would have lower-magnitude biomechanical impact measures than those who had never suffered a previous concussion. METHODS Youths who had suffered a concussion were recruited from emergency departments across Canada. This pool of patients was then separated into 2 categories based on their history of concussion: those who had incurred 1 or more previous concussions, and those who had never suffered a concussion. The impact event that resulted in the brain injury was reconstructed biomechanically using computational, physical, and finite element modeling techniques. The output of the events was measured in biomechanical parameters such as energy, force, acceleration, and brain tissue strain to determine if those patients who had a previous concussion sustained a brain injury at lower magnitudes than those who had no previously reported concussion. RESULTS The results demonstrated that there was no biomechanical variable that could distinguish between the concussion groups with a history of concussion versus no history of concussion. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that there is no measureable biomechanical vulnerability to head impact related to a history of concussions in this youth population. This may be a reflection of the long time between the previous concussion and the one reconstructed in the laboratory, where such a long period has been associated with recovery from injury.

With the popularization of e-readers, electronic reading rooms, digital libraries, and other new ways of reading in libraries and society, libraries have also entered a new stage of development because of “low-carbon” construction. The low-carbon development of intelligent libraries reduces the application of traditional literature carriers, increases the popularity and application of modern equipment, makes the replacement of paper materials, and reduces its own energy consumption. To achieve personalized recommendations in the lending system, this paper, inspired by biomechanical concepts, constructs a tree intelligent recommendation system via a collaborative filtering algorithm. This system functions like a neural network in a biological system, processing and analyzing data to make informed decisions. By verifying the system with actual borrowing data of students, it proves effective, much like how a biomechanical adaptation is tested and validated in nature. This approach offers a valuable reference for intelligent book management in universities, aligning library operations with the principles of efficient resource utilization and adaptation seen in the biomechanical world. book management in universities. In addition to these advancements, integrating biomechanics into the design and operation of smart libraries can enhance user experience and engagement. Understanding the biomechanics of reading—such as posture, hand movements, and eye tracking—can inform the development of ergonomic reading spaces and devices. For instance, optimizing seating arrangements and reading environments based on biomechanical principles can reduce physical strain and improve comfort for users. Moreover, incorporating biomechanical feedback into the recommendation system could personalize user interactions further. By analyzing how different users engage with reading materials—considering factors like reading speed, preferred formats, and physical interactions with devices—libraries can refine their recommendation algorithms. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of title recommendations but also promotes a healthier reading experience, aligning with the low-carbon goals of reducing physical strain and energy consumption associated with inefficient reading practices.

Yunnan’s wetland ecosystems are essential for ecological services like water conservation and biodiversity sustenance. Analogously to biological systems in biomechanics, they are subject to diverse forces. Here, natural and anthropogenic factors act as external stimuli. Utilizing multi-source data, an evaluation index system for ecological service functions was established, similar to characterizing the biomechanical properties of an organism. Analyzing wetland dynamics and traditional plant resources is comparable to studying the structural and functional alterations of a biomechanical entity. The growth in wetland area and vegetation coverage can be regarded as a response to favorable biomechanical conditions, with the water conservation function as a crucial biomechanical attribute maintaining the system’s stability, much like a key structural element in a biological tissue. However, agricultural pollution and climate change pose challenges, acting as adverse biomechanical stressors. Agricultural pollution is like a harmful agent disrupting the normal biomechanical processes, and climate change resembles a fluctuating external force. To address these, strategies are proposed. Enhancing ecological compensation is similar to providing supplementary biomechanical energy to repair and strengthen the system. Optimizing land use structures is akin to adjusting the spatial organization of biomechanical components for enhanced efficiency. Improving management policy execution is like strengthening the regulatory biomechanical mechanisms. Through these, sustainable management of wetland resources and the enhancement of ecological service functions can be achieved, similar to restoring and optimizing the biomechanical health and functionality of a living system, ensuring the long-term viability and performance of Yunnan's wetland ecosystems in the face of complex environmental pressures.

There is considerable debate on the extent to which biomechanical properties of movements are taken into account before and during voluntary movements. For example, while several models have described reach planning as primarily kinematic, some studies have suggested that implicit knowledge about biomechanics may also exert some influence on the planning of reaching movements. Here, we investigated whether decisions about reaching movements are influenced by biomechanical factors and whether these factors are taken into account before movement onset. To this end, we designed an experimental paradigm in which humans made free choices between two potential reaching movements where the options varied in path distance as well as biomechanical factors related to movement energy and stability. Our results suggest that the biomechanical properties of potential actions strongly influence the selection between them. In particular, in our task, subjects preferred movements whose final trajectory was better aligned with the major axis of the arm's mobility ellipse, even when the launching properties were very similar. This reveals that the nervous system can predict biomechanical properties of potential actions before movement onset and that these predictions, in addition to purely abstract criteria, may influence the decision-making process.

This study investigates the application of biomechanics-inspired principles to optimize classroom interaction models in business English education, with a focus on the interplay between physiological dynamics and learning performance. By integrating biomechanical frameworks for analyzing human physiological responses, and cardiovascular adaptability, this research establishes a data-driven teaching model to enhance educational outcomes. Using experimental research methods, 120 business English majors from a university were studied over a 16-week teaching experiment to systematically analyze the biomechanical correlates of learning efficiency and classroom engagement. The research found that the biomechanics-informed teaching model significantly improved students’ physiological adaptability and cognitive performance. The experimental group showed improvements in attention levels (α-wave energy values) from 10.2 ± 2.3 μV to 12.6 ± 2.1 μV, stress indices decreased from 7.8 ± 1.2 to 5.2 ± 0.9, and heart rate variability (HRV) SDNN values increased from 42.3 ± 8.5 ms to 54.6 ± 7.8 ms. In terms of classroom interaction quality, the proportion of quality interactions increased from 35.6 ± 4.8% to 68.4 ± 5.2%. Regarding business English competency development, the experimental group’s business communication skills improved from 71.3 ± 7.8 to 87.6 ± 6.5 points (an improvement rate of 2.9%), while cross-cultural business competency increased from 72.1 ± 7.6 to 88.2 ± 6.3 points (an improvement rate of 22.3%). The results indicate that the biological data-driven teaching model can effectively optimize classroom interaction quality and enhance business English teaching effectiveness. By treating learning interactions as a biomechanical system governed by energy expenditure, stress-strain balance, and adaptive feedback loops, we provide a novel paradigm for understanding and improving pedagogical efficacy. The results highlight the potential of biomechanics to bridge educational technology and human performance science, offering actionable strategies for curriculum design and teacher training. This innovative model provides new insights and methods for business English teaching reform while offering practical references for educational technology innovation.

This research, titled “Low-carbon transformation and ecological safeguarding in the Yellow River Basin: Integrating biomechanical and biological insights” explores the interplay between economic activities, land use changes, and environmental impact. Through regression analyses and assessments of land use alterations, the study identifies significant provincial variations in factors influencing carbon emissions. In addition to the socio-economic factors, the research incorporates insights from biomechanics and biology, drawing parallels between the ecological systems of the Yellow River Basin and biological processes such as energy efficiency and resource allocation in living organisms. For instance, just as organisms optimize energy usage and adapt to external stressors, the proposed low-carbon strategies aim to optimize resource use and improve the resilience of the basin’s ecosystem. Proposed strategies for low-carbon transformation provide a practical roadmap for sustainable development, informed by biological principles like ecological balance, regeneration, and the importance of maintaining biodiversity. These principles reflect how biomechanical systems, such as musculoskeletal structures, balance energy expenditure and repair to maintain functionality under strain, similar to how ecosystems must manage resource cycles to withstand environmental stressors. The integration of socio-economic indicators, alongside biological and biomechanical insights, underscores the need for region-specific policies that consider not only economic factors but also the natural regenerative capacities of the ecosystem. The study suggests that, like biological systems that repair and adapt to maintain homeostasis, the Yellow River Basin’s ecological processes can be guided by sustainable management practices to ensure long-term resilience and stability. In conclusion, the research contributes valuable insights to the global discourse on balancing economic growth with ecological preservation in the ecologically vital Yellow River Basin, highlighting how the integration of biomechanical and biological principles can enhance both ecological safeguarding and low-carbon transformation strategies.

In the rapid evolution of modern healthcare, the fusion of bioelectronics with mechanical energy harvesting techniques marks a significant advancement. Wearable biosensors and implantable devices, which are vital for enhancing patient care, enable the continuous monitoring of physiological and biomechanical activities, paving the way for reduced healthcare costs and improved patient quality of life. At the forefront of this progress is soft magnetoelasticity, which offers a revolutionary method for powering wearable and implantable healthcare devices. This technology harnesses the giant magnetoelastic effect in soft magnetic elastomers to transform biomechanical energy directly into electricity, overcoming the limitations of traditional electromagnetic generators including inadequate response to biomechanical stress and a mismatch in mechanical moduli with human tissues. Soft magnetoelastic generators boast superior energy conversion efficiency and better compatibility with human tissue mechanics, which show remarkable potential in applications that span from real-time wearable health monitoring to the operation of implantable devices, all without the need for battery replacements. This review on soft magnetoelasticity, from its fundamental concepts to its cutting-edge applications, aims to highlight its transformative impact on bioelectronics and its crucial role in advancing wearable and implantable medical technologies towards sustainable and autonomous healthcare solutions.

This paper discusses technologies used to harvest energies from in-vivo environment. The discussion mainly concentrated on nanogenerators based on Piezoelectric nanowires which are employed for converting biomechanical energy (such as muscle stretching), vibration energy (such as heart rate sound, sound waves) and biohydraulic energy (such as blood flow, contraction of blood vessel) into electric energy. At the end this paper studies an approach for harvesting biomechanical and biochemical energies from living organisms simultaneously. This system, by using aligned nanowire arrays, can power medical nanosystems and nanodevices through converting vibration, biomechanical and biohydrulic energies into electricity. On the other hand by using biofuel cell structure, this hybrid cell can convert biochemical (glucose/O2) energy in biofluid into electricity. This technology can provide adequate power required for feeding nanodevices and nanosystems or at least to indirectly charge battery of the device. This technology can provide a sound basis for designing wireless self-powered nanodevices with direct energy harvesting from in-vivo environment.

This paper provides a preliminary understanding in biomechanics with respect to a fullyporous- coated (FPC) dental implant. A 2D multiscale finite element model is created for a typical dental implantation setting. Under a certain mastication force (<200N), a global response is first obtained from a macro-scale model (without coated surface morphology details), and then it is transferred to a micro-scale model (with coated surface morphology details), which allows determining a local biomechanical field. To facilitate the study in bone remodelling, strain energy density and equivalent strain are analysed respectively. Different porosities of coating are taken into account in this study to investigate the effect of FPC materials on these typical remodelling stimuli. The results evidently reflect the osseointegrative benefits generated from surface coating. The result reveals that increasing in particle sizes has significant effect on biomechanical response.

Diet is a driving force in human evolution. Two species of Plio-Pleistocene hominins, Paranthropus robustus and Australopithecus africanus , have derived craniomandibular and dental morphologies which are often interpreted as P. robustus having a more biomechanically challenging diet. While dietary reconstructions based on dental microwear generally support this, they show extensive dietary overlap between species, and craniomandibular and dental biomechanical analyses can yield contradictory results. Using methods from anthropology and engineering (i.e. anthroengineering), we quantified the molar biomechanical performance of these hominins to investigate possible dietary differences between them. Thirty-one lower second molars were 3D printed and used to fracture gelatine blocks, and Bayesian generalized linear models were used to investigate the relationship between species and tooth wear, size and shape, and biomechanical performance. Our results demonstrate that P. robustus required more force and energy to fracture blocks but had a higher force transmission rate. Considering previous dietary reconstructions, we propose three evolutionary scenarios concerning the dietary ecologies of these hominins. These evolutionary scenarios cannot be reached by investigating morphological differences in isolation, but require combining several lines of evidence. This highlights the need for a holistic approach to reconstructing hominin dietary ecology.

Baseball hitting involves multiple biomechanical variables, and understanding their impact on bat energy is crucial for improving performance. However, no studies have explored how biomechanical features affect hitting performance from the perspective of bat energy. This study aimed to systematically investigate the influence of lower limb biomechanical variables on bat energy using factor analysis and stepwise regression methods. Sixteen right-handed baseball players participated in the study. Bilateral lower limb kinematic and kinetic features were calculated and exported using a motion capture system and force platform. Six key factors (F1–F6) were extracted from the 28 biomechanical features. Factors F1 and F5 are correlated with the rotation of the trailing and leading limbs, respectively; F2 correlates with energy production of the leading limb; F3 correlates with linear momentum production; F4 correlates with body posture control; and F6 correlates with body linear movement in the anterior direction. To enhance bat energy, hitters should step towards the incoming ball more rapidly to increase ground reaction force on the leading limb. They should also maximize extension and external rotation of both the leading and trailing limbs, stabilize the trailing limb during body rotation, and ensure proper weight distribution between the leading and trailing limbs.

Portable electronic devices are dependent on batteries as the ultimate source of power. Irrefutably, batteries only have a limited operating period as they need to be regularly replaced or recharged. In many situations, the power grid infrastructure is not easily accessible to recharge the batteries and the recharging duration is also not convenient for the user to wait. Enhancement of a reliable electronic system by preventing power interruptions in remote areas is essential. Similarly, modern medical instruments and implant devices need reliable, almost maintenance-free power to ensure they are able to operate in all situations without any power interruptions. In this paper, the small-sized electromagnetic generator was designed to produce higher power by utilizing the knee angle transition involved during the walking phase as the input rotary force. The proposed generator design was investigated through COMSOL Multiphysics simulation. The achieved output RMS power was in the range of 3.31 W to 14.95 W based on the RPM range between 360 RPM to 800 RPM.

It is known that human body contains rich chemical energy, part of which is converted to mechanical energy up to 200W, especially when human in walking, so human body is an ideal sustainable energy resource for portable electronic devices. The motion pattern of human movement in normal walking is studied, showing that the arm swinging, knee motion and hip motion can be approximated as sinusoidal functions with relatively large amplitude. In order to harvest such human motion, several methods are investigated, including pendulum, translational spring and torsion spring, which can also be mathematically formatted as second order differential equation with damped item. This paper also gives a typical device to harvest human motion: a novel energy harvester which directly converts human motion to electricity based on electromagnetic induction. Detail structures of the harvesting device are illustrated with mathematical analysis. Simulation studies are also made.

The proposed device consists of a system of helical elastic springs bilaterally located on the shank for capturing/storing waste biomechanical energy at the knee, a cable and pulley system to transmit power from and to the knee, a pulley locking/unlocking mechanism to achieve passive control of the device operation ensures no restrictions are posed by the springs during walking and applies a pre-tension on springs to prevent slacking of the Bowden cable using a return spring. However, when the wearer performs a squatting task, the springs engage/disengage energy springs when the knee flexes over a preset angle (i.e., 60 degrees). The energy dissipated and generated at the knee joint during decent and ascent phases from biomechanical studies were recorded as 45 J and 50 J respectively for an average human [3]. Accordingly, the selected energy springs can collectively capture and return approximately 20% of biomechanical energy at the knee.

This study investigates the biomechanics of Stephen Curry's shooting technique, focusing on the factors contributing to his unparalleled accuracy in basketball, particularly for long-range shots. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, biomechanical analysis was performed by examining kinematic and kinetic parameters derived from video recordings of NBA games. Key body mechanics, including the coordination of the lower body for propulsion and the upper body for precision, were analyzed using motion capture systems and software like Kinovea. The findings reveal that optimal joint angles are critical for shot success: a knee angle of approximately 45 degrees during the propulsion phase and an elbow angle of 90 degrees at shot release. The study highlights that a ball trajectory with an elevation angle of 45-50 degrees significantly enhances scoring potential. Moreover, the speed of the ball at release, averaging 30-35 mph for three-pointers, plays a crucial role in shot stability and accuracy. The research emphasizes the importance of biomechanical principles, such as the efficient transfer of kinetic energy from the lower to the upper body, precise wrist rotation, and ideal trajectory, in improving shooting performance. These insights underline the need for basketball coaches and players to adopt training techniques informed by biomechanical data. Enhancing body positioning, lower body strength, and ball control are essential for developing more effective shooting skills. The study concludes that mastering biomechanical principles provides a significant edge in professional basketball performance, offering valuable perspectives for athletes and trainers alike.

Cranial sutures play critical roles in load distribution and neuroprotection, with their biomechanical performance intimately linked to morphological complexity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different morphologies of cranial sutures on their biomechanical behavior. Based on the different morphologies of the cranial sutures, six groups of finite element models (closed, straight, sine wave, tight sinusoidal wave, layered sinusoidal wave, and layered sinusoidal wave + sutural bone) of the bone–suture–bone composite structures that ranged from simple to complex were constructed. Each model was subjected to 50 kPa impact and 98 N bilateral tensile loads to evaluate von Mises stress and total deformation variations across all groups under combined loading conditions. Key findings reveal that morphological complexity directly governs stress dynamics and mechanical adaptation; layered sinusoidal configurations delayed peak stress by 19–36% and generated elevated von Mises stresses compared to closed sutures, with stress concentrations correlating with interfacial roughness. Under impact, sutures exhibited localized energy dissipation (<0.2 μm deformation), while tensile loading induced uniform displacements (≤11 μm) across all morphologies (p > 0.05), underscoring their dual roles in localized energy absorption and global strain redistribution. Craniosacral therapy relevant forces produced sub-micron deformations far below pathological thresholds (≥1 mm), which implies the biomechanical safety of recommended therapeutic force. Staggered suture–bone in open sutures (31.93% closure rate) enhances shear resistance, whereas closed sutures prioritize rigidity. The findings provide mechanistic explanations for suture pathological vulnerability and clinical intervention limitations, offering a quantitative foundation for future research on cranial biomechanics and therapeutic innovation.

China’s strategic objective of promoting national health is in line with the integration of the sports business with sports promotion programs. Biomechanics, which delves into the mechanical aspects of human movement and its interaction with the surrounding environment, is a linchpin in this integration. When it comes to the construction of sports venues and sports equipment development, biomechanical principles are fundamental. For example, the selection of surface materials for tracks, courts, and fields must consider factors such as ground reaction forces, coefficient of friction, and energy dissipation. These biomechanical parameters not only influence an athlete’s performance but also play a crucial role in injury prevention. Policies promoting the development of sports venues, increasing public access to recreational facilities, and investing in community health programs remain essential for expanding sports participation and promoting fitness. Through an examination of policy frameworks, economic benefits, and social impacts, this study identifies key factors facilitating this integration. Technological advancements, such as the use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and force-sensitive sensors in sports equipment and training facilities, enable real-time monitoring of biomechanical variables like joint angles, muscle activation, and movement velocities. Public-private collaborations can then leverage these technologies to develop innovative biomechanics-based sports products and services, making them more accessible to the general public. The findings of this study emphasize the necessity of a comprehensive strategy for sports promotion and sector expansion. This strategy should not only focus on economic gains but also aim to achieve superior health outcomes. Biomechanics-informed sports promotion allows for a more in-depth understanding of how different physical activities impact the human body’s biomechanics. This knowledge can be used to customize exercise programs according to an individual’s anthropometric and biomechanical characteristics, ensuring maximum effectiveness and safety. From a social perspective, a health-conscious society with widespread access to sports resources can significantly enhance the quality of life. By minimizing the risk of injuries through biomechanics-optimized sports facilities and equipment, individuals can engage in a more active lifestyle, leading to a reduction in healthcare costs. Moreover, as people participate in sports events, fitness challenges, and wellness campaigns, the shift in public attitudes towards fitness can strengthen social cohesion and community engagement. In conclusion, this study offers recommendations for future legislation and programs to enhance the integration of the sports sector with public health promotion. By fully integrating biomechanics into the development of the sports industry, we can ensure a substantial contribution to the “Healthy China” goals, fostering a more robust sports economy and a healthier society.

This study explores how to establish a quantitative balance mechanism between the lightweight demand of new energy vehicles and the collision safety of occupants/batteries through multidisciplinary collaborative optimization. Integration of topology optimization and biomechanical simulation to facilitate the design and injury prediction of new energy vehicle (NEV) crash safety systems. Using extensive data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Center for Automotive Research (ARC), first, topology optimization is applied to reduce vehicle weight while maintaining crashworthiness. Subsequently, biomechanical simulations were performed using finite element analysis to simulate the human response to impact. These models are then combined to predict injury risk. Our results show that the weight of key vehicle components is substantially reduced, while the effect on structural stiffness is negligible. Biomechanical simulations provide detailed injury severity scores (ISS) for different body parts under different impact scenarios. The comprehensive model shows that compared with the unoptimized vehicle structure, the optimized vehicle structure is expected to reduce the overall weight of the new energy vehicle and reduce the damage probability of the optimized structure in the collision process by 18.2%. This study highlights the great potential of combining topology optimization and biomechanical simulation to improve the crash safety and injury prediction of new energy vehicles.

Researchers and engineers have developed exoskeletons capable of reducing the energetic cost of walking by decreasing the force their users’ muscles are required to produce while contracting. The metabolic effect of assisting concentric and isometric muscle contractions depends, in part, on assistance magnitude. We conducted human treadmill experiments to explore the effects of assistance magnitude on the biomechanics and energetics of walking with an energy-removing exoskeleton designed to assist eccentric muscle contractions. Our results demonstrate that the assistance magnitude of an energy-removing device significantly affects the energetics, muscle activity, and biomechanics of walking. Under the moderate assistance magnitude condition, our device reduced the metabolic cost of walking below that of normal walking by 3.4% while simultaneously producing 0.29 W of electricity. This reduction in the energetic cost of walking was also associated with an 8.9% decrease in hamstring activity. Furthermore, we determined that there is an assistance magnitude threshold that, when crossed, results in the device transitioning from assisting to hindering its user. This transition is marked by significant increases in muscle activity and the metabolic cost of walking. These results could aid in the future design of exoskeletons and biomechanical energy harvesters, as well as adaptive control systems, that identify user-specific control parameters associated with minimum energy expenditure.

Over time, leg prostheses have improved in design, but have been incapable of actively adapting to different walking velocities in a manner comparable to a biological limb. People with a leg amputation using such commercially available passive-elastic prostheses require significantly more metabolic energy to walk at the same velocities, prefer to walk slower and have abnormal biomechanics compared with non-amputees. A bionic prosthesis has been developed that emulates the function of a biological ankle during level-ground walking, specifically providing the net positive work required for a range of walking velocities. We compared metabolic energy costs, preferred velocities and biomechanical patterns of seven people with a unilateral transtibial amputation using the bionic prosthesis and using their own passive-elastic prosthesis to those of seven non-amputees during level-ground walking. Compared with using a passive-elastic prosthesis, using the bionic prosthesis decreased metabolic cost by 8 per cent, increased trailing prosthetic leg mechanical work by 57 per cent and decreased the leading biological leg mechanical work by 10 per cent, on average, across walking velocities of 0.75–1.75 m s −1 and increased preferred walking velocity by 23 per cent. Using the bionic prosthesis resulted in metabolic energy costs, preferred walking velocities and biomechanical patterns that were not significantly different from people without an amputation.

Dance movements are a form of expressive physical activity that communicates emotions, stories, and cultural significance through the rhythmic motions of the body. Viewed through the lens of biomechanical theory, it offers a unique understanding of the body’s physical actions and interactions in space. Biomechanics, the science of movement explains the mechanical principles of human motion, including forces, motion, and body structure. It aims to analyze the biomechanical principles underlying various dance movements, including forefoot (FT) landing, entire foot (ET) landing, single-leg landing, bounce, rock step, and side chassé step. A total of 42 dancers performed these movements in the jive and cha-cha, synchronized with corresponding music. Data were collected using a Vicon motion capture system and pressure sensors, which were uploaded into the OpenSim simulation model to create musculoskeletal models. Statistical Parameter Mapping (SPM) analysis was used to assess biomechanical differences across various dance movements. Depending on the data distribution, ANOVA, multiple regression analysis, and paired t-tests were employed to examine muscle forces involved in the different dance movements. The biomechanical analysis revealed that FT landing increased ankle inversion and instability, while ET landing provided greater stability. Single-leg landing generated higher forces, while the bounce movement was energy-efficient with increased plantarflexion. It may also increase the risk of injury due to higher forces. With careful technique to avoid overloading and injury, these findings may be used in dance training by implementing controlled ET landings for stability and balance, as well as single-leg landings to increase force absorption and build lower limb muscles. The side chasse step and rock step required greater lateral stability, with higher muscle activation in the hip and ankle joints. In conclusion, the biomechanical analysis highlights significant differences in muscle activation, joint angles, and stability across the dance movements.

This paper presents some of the ways we are attempting to understand why physically challenged children adopt the movement patterns they do. It focuses on the skill of walking and compares non-neurologically disabled persons with children with cerebral palsy. A multidisciplinary approach is advocated in which the tools of biomechanics, physiology, and dynamical systems theory are explored. Traditional biomechanics of children with cerebral palsy tend to be descriptive in nature. More recent methods include both traditional biomechanical and dynamical systems approaches to understand why physically challenged children adopt the gait patterns they do. The concept of self-optimization is introduced as a way to motivate the investigations. Mechanical energy conservation, minimal metabolic cost, normality, and stability are discussed as some of the potential optimality criteria. Optimality criteria measurement including several methods of analysis of stability are discussed, and preliminary results of findings in the three groups are reported.

Furthermore, self-made flexible TPU/MWCNTs electrodes replaced commercial conductive fabric to make TENG more adapt to skin of human body. Finally, the optimized TENG in this work demonstrates energy harvesting capabilities and can be applied in self-powered sensor systems and provides new dimensions for biomechanical energy harvesters and wearable self-powered electronics.

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a commonly performed salvage procedure for failed proximal humeral fracture fixation. The rate of intraoperative periprosthetic fractures is higher compared to primary RSA. The goal of this study was to investigate the biomechanical value of a protective cerclage during stem impaction in a revision surgery setting. Twenty-eight fresh-frozen human humeri were used to assess different configurations for steel wire and FiberTape cerclages. A custom-built biomechanical test setup simulated the mallet strikes during the stem impaction process with the Univers Revers prothesis stem. The mallet energy until the occurrence of a first crack was not different between groups. The total energy until progression of the fracture distally to the cerclage was significantly higher in the cerclage groups compared to the native humerus (9.5 J vs. 3.5 J, respectively; p = 0.0125). There was no difference between the steel wire and FiberTape groups (11.4 J vs. 8.6 J, respectively; p = 0.2695). All fractures were located at the concave side of the stem at the metaphyseal calcar region. This study demonstrates that a protective cerclage can successfully delay the occurrence of a fracture during stem impaction in reverse shoulder arthroplasty. A FiberTape cerclage is biomechanically equally efficient compared to a steel wire cerclage.

In this paper the design and the development of a knee energy harvester, which uses a servo motor to harvest electrical energy from biomechanical energy created during a knee motion, is presented. The proposed system works around the limitations of existing energy harvesting methods using an advanced servo motor and optimized gear mechanism followed by a compact and ergonomic design. A microcontroller for real time monitoring, sensors for motion detection, a power management unit for efficient energy storage, and a lightweight framework for user comfort are all key components. Energy conversion efficiencies of approximately 80% with power outputs varying from 150 mW while walking to 250 mW while running were demonstrated by experimental evaluations of the device. The adaptable system to various motion patterns and the durable and user friendly design make it suitable for wearable electronics, medical devices and portable communication systems. The results of this study indicate that the proposed knee energy harvester may enable sustainable energy harvesting technology to strive.

Context: Eccentric muscle actions of the lower extremity absorb kinetic energy during landing. Greater total sagittal-plane energy absorption (EA) during the initial impact phase (INI) of landing has been associated with landing biomechanics considered high risk for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. We do not know whether groups with different INI EA magnitudes exhibit meaningful differences in ACL-related landing biomechanics and whether INI EA might be useful to identify ACL injury-risk potential. Objective: To compare biomechanical factors associated with noncontact ACL injury among sagittal-plane INI EA groups and to determine whether an association exists between sex and sagittal-plane INI EA group assignment to evaluate the face validity of using sagittal-plane INI EA to identify ACL injury risk. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Setting: Research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 82 (41 men, 41 women; age = 21.0 ± 2.4 years, height = 1.74 ± 0.10 m, mass = 70.3 ± 16.1 kg) healthy, physically active individuals volunteered. Intervention(s): We assessed landing biomechanics using an electromagnetic motion-capture system and force plate during a double-legged jump-landing task. Main Outcome Measure(s): Total INI EA was used to group participants into high, moderate, and low tertiles. Sagittal- and frontal-plane knee kinematics; peak vertical and posterior ground reaction forces (GRFs); anterior tibial shear force; and internal hip extension, knee extension, and knee varus moments were identified and compared across groups using 1-way analyses of variance. We used a χ2 analysis to compare male and female representation in the high and low groups. Results: The high group exhibited greater knee-extension moment and posterior GRFs than both the moderate (P < .05) and low (P < .05) groups and greater anterior tibial shear force than the low group (P < .05). No other group differences were noted. Women were not represented more than men in the high group (χ2 = 1.20, P = .27). Conclusions: Greater sagittal-plane INI EA likely indicates greater ACL loading, but it does not appear to influence frontal-plane biomechanics related to ACL injury. Women were not more likely than men to demonstrate greater INI EA, suggesting that quantification of sagittal-plane INI EA alone is not sufficient to infer ACL injury-risk potential.

Estimation of the flow energy dissipation induced by an ecosystem that accounts for its characteristics (i.e. biomechanical properties, morphology, density) and the incident hydrodynamic conditions is crucial if ecosystem-based coastal protection measurements want to be implemented. Characterization of a vegetated ecosystem by measuring leaf traits, biomechanical properties of plants and the number of individuals per unit area involves a lot of effort and is case-specific. Standing biomass can be a unique variable defining the flow energy attenuation capacity of the ecosystem. To explore its relation to the induced energy attenuation on the flow, a new set of experiments using real vegetation with contrasting morphology and biomechanical properties, and subjected to different incident flow conditions is presented. The obtained standing biomass-attenuation relationships will help to quantify the expected coastal protection provided by different vegetated ecosystems based on their standing biomass and the flow conditions.Recorded Presentation from the vICCE (YouTube Link): https://youtu.be/-qaKkBWZApk
