PURPOSE: This work developed a novel preclinical test of total knee replacements (TKRs) in order to explain TKR instability linked to patient dissatisfaction. It was hypothesized that stability tests on the isolated moving prostheses would provide no...
Mechanomedicine is an interdisciplinary field that combines different areas including biomechanics, mechanobiology, and clinical applications like mechanodiagnosis and mechanotherapy. The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized m...
Airtime is crucial for high-rotation tricks in snowboard halfpipe performance, significantly impacting trick difficulty, the primary judging criterion. This study aims to enhance the detection of take-off and landing events using inertial measurement...
Net-winged midge larvae (Blephariceridae) are known for their remarkable ability to adhere to and crawl on the slippery surfaces of rocks in fast-flowing and turbulent alpine streams, waterfalls, and rivers. This remarkable performance can be attribu...
Understanding the athlete's movements and the restrictions incurred by protective equipment is crucial for improving the equipment and subsequently, the athlete's performance. The task of equipment improvement is especially challenging in sports incl...
The emergence of microplastics (MPs) has become a significant focus of environmental pollution, prompting widespread concern regarding its potential toxicity and impact on the environment and organisms. Recent research indicates notable alterations i...
This study aimed to calculate the effect of nanopatterns' peak sharpness, width, and spacing parameters on P. aeruginosa and S. aureus cell walls by artificial neural network and finite element analysis. Elastic and creep deformation models of bacter...
