Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] The study of biomechanical system dynamics consists of research to obtain an accurate model of biomechanical systems and to find appropriate torques or forces that reproduce motions of a biomechanical subject. In the first part of this study, specific computational models are developed to maintain relative angle constraints for 2-dimensional segmented bodies. This is motivated by the fact that there is a possibility of models of segmented bodies, moving under gravitational acceleration and joint torques, for its segments to move past the natural relative angle limits.

Lorsque la tumeur se trouve sur un organe en mouvement, la dificulté majeure est de cibler la tumeur pendant le traitement.

Abstract:

Falls from heights are the fourth leading cause of occupational injury and fatality in the United States. In particular, construction workers such as roofers are often exposed to high risk environments. Recent research has reported that a leading cause of falls among workers is a loss of balance. Therefore, in moving towards reducing the number of occupational falls, further investigation of balance and factors that influence postural control is necessary. The effect of neuromuscular fatigue has been addressed by many investigators; however, few studies have examined the effect of localize

Abstract:

The MAKO RIO (MAKO Surgical, Stryker, Mahwah, NJ, USA) is an assistive surgical robotic arm system developed to increase the accuracy of bone cuts in joint replacement surgery. A high-speed cutting burr is mounted on the arm and is manoeuvred by the surgeon. The robotic arm allows free movement of the burr through the calculated cutting volume but restricts movement, and hence cutting, outside of this volume. Localised fatigue anecdotally reported during burring from high output users of the MAKO RIO system is an issue. An ergonomic assessment of the MAKO RIO was carried out to review possible

Abstract:

Femoral fracture in adolescents is a severe injury. Recent studies of intramedullary nail fixation with rigid titanium alloy helical nail viz. Expert adolescent lateral femoral nail (ALFN) have reported good results. However, there is no in vitro biomechanical data available on this nail in the literature. Experimental testing and finite element analysis (FEA) were used to establish the stiffness parameters of small composite femurs with simulated fractures stabilised using ALFN. In comparison to intact femur, construct stiffness ranged from maximum (114%) to minimum (20%) for healed fracture

Abstract:

In wheelchair users who experience strong extensor spasms, high muscular forces exerted during the episode may lead to high contact forces between the child and the wheelchair. The forces may be physically powerful enough to cause pain and injury to the child, and can damage or break components of the wheelchair. Dynamic seating systems have been used in an attempt to reduce these contact forces. Such systems permit forward and backward movements as the occupant extends and retracts their body, consequently they are assumed to be beneficial to patients with strong extensor spasms.

Abstract:

Musculoskeletal tissues exhibit a remarkable extent of plasticity throughout life, with tissues continually able to adapt in line with functional demands. As the skeleton plays a major structural role, its form is profoundly influenced by its mechanical environment, which is largely determined by muscular contraction. Despite the clear functional link between muscle and bone relatively little is known about the biomechanical relationship between these tissues. This thesis therefore focuses upon the use of implantable neuromuscular stimulators to provide controlled muscular mechanical stimuli.

Atherosclerotic plaque disruption leading to thrombosis has traditionally been studied as a rupture of a thin fibrous cap over a lipid-laden necrotic core. However, two noteworthy categories of plaques that do not rupture have presented themselves: 1) in mice, plaque rupture is rare if not absent, and 2) in humans, some plaques erode and form a thrombus without rupturing. Current understanding of the biomechanical differences between plaques that rupture and those that do not is incomplete.

Abstract:

Near work may play an important role in the development of myopia in the younger population. The prevalence of myopia has also been found to be higher in occupations that involve substantial near work tasks, for example in microscopists and textile workers. When nearwork is performed, it typically involves accommodation, convergence and downward gaze. A number of previous studies have examined the effects of accommodation and convergence on changes in the optics and biometrics of the eye in primary gaze. However, little is known about the influence of accommodation on the eye in downward gaze.

Atherosclerosis is a vascular degenerative disease leading to progressive thickening in the intima of large and medium sized arteries through the formation of plaque that is very rich with cholesterol. The cholesterol is carried by LDL (low density lipoprotein) particles which pass through the endothelium and accumulate in the intima. The passage of LDL is influenced by wall shear stress which activates physiological responses of the endothelium. However, the causal relationship between the physiological responses and their effect on LDL mass transport is not fully understood. To obtain blood

La paralysie faciale affecte négativement la vie professionnelle, sociale et personnelle des patients concernés. La récupération des mimiques faciales dans des conditions normales et symétriques permet à ces patients d'améliorer leurs qualités de vie. La rééducation fonctionnelle est une étape clinique importante pour améliorer les qualités des interventions chirurgicales. Cependant, la rééducation faciale reste actuellement un défi scientifique, technologique et clinique majeur. En particulier, l'approche conventionnelle manque des retours quantitatifs et objectifs pour optimiser les gestes e
