While in clinical settings, bone mineral density measured by computed tomography (CT) remains the key indicator for fracture risk, there is an ongoing quest more engineering mechanics-based approaches safety analyses of skeleton. This calls determination suitable material properties from respective CT data, where traditional approach consists regression between attenuation-related grey values and mechanical properties. We here present a physics-oriented approach, considering that elasticity...
Dehiscence of median sternotomy wounds remains a clinical problem. Wall forces in thin-walled pressure vessels can be calculated by membrane stress theory. An ellipsoid vessel model sternal is presented together with its application for optimal wire placement the sternum. Sternal were computational simulation using an chest wall model. correlated different thicknesses and radio-density as measured computerized tomography (CT) scans A comparison alternative trans-sternal wires located either...
The biomechanical feedback of biological tissue is difficult to measure.A spinal segment model can be used obtain fundamental information by means a computer simulation using finite element analysis.
To understand history, we need to look through a wide-angle lens.The knowledge of history is an irreplaceable component awareness the circumstances in which find ourselves.Evolution, gradual process lasting over millions years, generated first hominids from earlier primates.They differed other kinds living organism by bipedal walk.Except for this they showed ingenuity, diligence, and organizational skills, that provide distinctions further creatures.The earliest lived world about 20 000...

Human evolution took millions of years, within them our body was adapted according to global environmental changes.Over we reached the upright position, and with it came problems.As specialists say, desire reach high, thus today have ache at lower spine, ankle joints are overloaded.Except that modern life style, mechanization works, is sending us a sedentary work by control production process computer.Thus, most day seat, similarly part population affected their medical problem, as...
Designs of medical devices are tested for their mechanical behaviour, and ability to transfer the load that is normally bore by healthy tissue.The virtual testing in silico widely accepted technique will be used our work simulate a walk.The already existing Finite Element (FE) model lumbar spine was reused while behaviour controlled set constrains data, transferred through load-bearing magnitude character depended on physical activity, external loads, condition subject its specific factors...
Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of job-related disability, usually related to idiopathic spine injury such as muscle sprain or so called 'slipped disc' due lifting heavy object, which has around 80 % occurrence among injuries at the low back.That represents dual economical effect society in form reduced working force, and simultaneously higher cost health care.In some cases person face risk lose its job inability carry objects.Research already done doesn't suggest any solution how...
