Abstract:

Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) is the recognised ‘Gold Standard’ tonometer. However this status is refuted by eminent authors. These contradictory views have driven the initial goal to assess, from first principles, the evolution of GAT and to experimentally evaluate its utility and corrections. Subsequently, an important caveat became the evaluation of Corneal Hysteresis and Corneal Resistance Factor. Chapter 1.

Abstract:

Due to recent advances in aquatic research, technology, and facilities, many modes of aquatic therapy now exist. These aquatic modes assist individuals (e.g., osteoarthritis patients) in the performance of activities that may be too difficult to complete on land. However, the biomechanical requirements of each aquatic therapy mode may elicit different physiological and functional responses. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to: (a) provide a review of the physiological and biomechanical differences between aquatic and land based exercises, and (b) examine the acute effects of underwat

This thesis analyzes the wrist joint of the human hand by using a realistic threedimensional wrist model. Load distributions among carpal bones, forces on ligaments and joints were examined by using three-dimensional model. Wrist injuries and required surgical operations were examined with the model. The most crucial point of the study was that, using three-dimensional model of the wrist, hand surgeons would be able to predict results of surgical operation. Surgery planning may be done and mechanical results may be Evaluated on the wrist model.

Most ACL ruptures do not involve direct collisions, but occur during landing, cutting, and pivoting tasks common to sports such as soccer, basketball, and netball. Rates of ACL rupture in young people have increased enormously in Australia over the past two decades. Generally, ACL ruptures are 3.5-4 times more frequent in female compared to male athletes.

Instruments which provide objective measurements of disease state can eliminate rater bias, provide repeatable data, and increase the frequency and responsiveness of subject assessments, expediting the validation of new therapies and treatments.

[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.

Degeneration and age affect the biomechanics of the intervertebral disc, by reducing its stiffness, flexibility and shock absorption capacities against daily movement and spinal load. The biomechanical characterization of intervertebral discs is achieved by conducting mechanical testing to vertebra-disc-vertebra segments and applying axial, shear, bend and torsion loads, statically or dynamically, with load magnitudes corresponding to the physiological range. However, traditional testing does not give a view of the load and deformation states of the disc components: nucleus pulposus, annulus f

Mechanical force relationships in the normally closing neural tube and in the NTD-developing neural tube were investigated through incision of the most recently closed neural tube roof, in order to eliminate tension in the closed region. After incision in wild-type embryos, immediate springing apart (re-opening) of the elevating neural folds was observed, associ

Running is a popular recreational and competitive sport worldwide. Despite numerous proven health benefits associated with road running, the risk of sustaining a running-related injury (RRI) is extremely high.

Interestingly, this notion may be a key driving factor for the emergence and growing interest in, trail or 'off-road’ running. Research investigating road running has been well-described, whereas t

Abstract:

Mathematical models of human movement have the potential to provide information about how and why humans move the way they do. However, due to the existing gap between the current simple and complex models of running, it is unclear as to the level of complexity required to model normal distance running. Therefore, the aim of this PhD was to develop an “appropriately complex” biomechanical model of running. The first investigation aimed to assess the validity of the fundamental assumption of the spring mass model, the simplest model of running. The model assumes that during running the human bo
