Abstract:

El objetivo principal de esta tesis es el estudio de la aplicación de microindentación del hueso en la clínica. El uso de la densidad mineral ósea para evaluar la calidad ósea no es suficiente. De hecho, hay pacientes con densidad mineral ósea normal o casi normal que presentan fracturas. Se ha publicado que la capacidad predictiva de la densidad mineral ósea para el riesgo de fractura oscila entre el 65-70%. Esto podría explicarse por el hecho de que con la densidad mineral ósea estamos midiendo uno de los elementos de la resistencia ósea, pero quedan otros componentes sin medir. La microi

Abstract:

The biomechanics of the equine hoof are not well understood. Therefore biomechanical models of the hoof were developed, using finite element analysis and finite deformation elasticity, to provide a means of analysing the mechanisms underlying hoof function and dysfunction. One goal of the research was to investigate the biomechanical effects of different hoof shapes. A parametric geometry model that could be configured to represent commonly observed variations in hoof shape was developed for this purpose. Tissue behaviour models, accounting for aspects of the nonlinearity, inhomogeneit

Abstract:

The work reported in this thesis was carried out to investigate the kinematic and dynamic behaviour of the forefoot during normal locomotion activities. An extensive literature review on the subject is presented and the need for further investigations shown. Fresh autopsy specimens were studied to determine the course taken by tendons in relation to the joints of the forefoot, and the topography of joint surfaces mapped. The overall geometries of the first and second rays have been described too. Also, an experimental investigation has shown that without muscular activity the metatarsal bones

Abstract:

The lack of suitable models for prediction of the vertebral body (VB) failure load for a variety of pathologies hampers the development of indications for surgical and pharmaceutical interventions and the assessment of novel treatments. Similar models would also be of benefit in a laboratory environment in which predictions of failure load could aid experimental design when using cadaveric tissue. Finite element modelling shows great potential but the expertise required to effectively deploy this technology in a clinical environment precludes its routine use at the present time. Its deployment

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. Biophysical mathematical models of the breast have the potential to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. This thesis presents research on the development and validation of biomechanical models of the breast subject to gravity and compressive loads. The finite element method was used to implement the theory of finite elasticity coupled with contact mechanics in order to simulate the large non-linear deformations of the breast tissues. Initially, validation studies were conducted using a breast phantom

Abstract:

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures are a major burden worldwide. Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a recognised treatment option for these fractures but there is conflicting evidence regarding the optimum amount of cement to use and there is little evidence regarding the best surgical approach to treating these fractures. Newer techniques are available which expand on the basic premise of percutaneous vertebroplasty. This project aimed to provide the basic science to answer the questions of cement fill, approach and the use of modern adjuncts to traditional percutaneous vertebroplasty.

Vertebral fractures are a severe cause of morbidity and disability. In particular, burst fractures are a common traumatic injury presenting neurological impairment in 47 % of cases.

Short-segment pedicle instrumentation (SSPI) in combination with kyphoplasty (SSPI–KP) has been used to provide additional stabilisation of the fracture. However, there is a lack of understanding about the effectiveness SSPI–KP. The aim of this study was to follow the fracture pathway, from onset t

Rock climbing routes have become increasingly difficult over the last twenty years. In rock climbing manuals and articles, specific techniques for making arm movements on steep, overhanging routes are suggested as offering the climber noticeable performance benefits. The techniques recommended generally depend on the orientation of the ipsilateral foot. Decisions on technique are important, as the results are cumulative and can impact on the overall performance of the climber on the route. The overall purpose of this research is to evaluate the impact of different ipsilateral foot orientations

Success in baseball batting is fundamental to the sport, however it remains one of, if not the most, challenging skills in sports to master. Batters utilize the kinetic chain to transfer energy from the lower body to the upper body to the bat, hoping to impart the maximum amount of energy into the ball. Scientists and coaches have researched the swing and developed theories on the keys for successful batting, but most of this research has been inadequate in attempting to fully describe the biomechanics of batting.

Most biomechanical research studies have analysed the DST as a sporting activity leaving the locomotor strategies poorly described. This relationship to walking and running and the involvement of a gliding phase make the DST an interesting locomotion which may reflect a locomotor adaptation of hum
