A qualitative holographic study of hemipelvic and acetabular deformation caused by different hip prostheses
… complication resulting in failure of Total Hip Arthroplasty. The mechanical behaviour of bone under load is one of the contributory causes of loosening encountered at the prosthesis/cement/bone interface. The present study dealt with a series of invitro experiments conducted on epoxy resin …

Decreasing Error in Functional Hip Joint Center Calculation using Ultrasound Imaging
The hip joint center (HJC) is needed for calculation of hip kinematics in various applications. In the functional method, the center is determined by moving femur with respect to acetabulum. A popular way for measuring this movement is through an optical motion capture system. This method is fast …

ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY IN SEX DETERMINATION USING THE OS COXA: A COMPARISON OF METRIC VS. PHENICE METHOD
… sexes. Current opinion regards the ossa coxae or hip bone as the most reliable sex indicator because it is the most dimorphic bone, particularly in adult individuals. The aim of this study was to compare the Phenice method & metric measurements of the os coxa to determine the most accurate and …

E-learning and developmental osteology: a test of suitability
… module was created on the development of the "hip" bone in which 145 students and staff from the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification were enrolled. These participants were tested on the content of the module prior to access, and these results were compared to those received following …

Genetics Analysis of Bone Size Variation of Hip, Spine and Wrist in Human Pedigrees
Bone size is an important determinant of osteoporotic fracture. However, the importance of genetic factors in determining bone size variation is unknown. My purposes here are three-folded. 1) Estimate the heritability (h2) of bone size by adjusting for several significant factors such as age, sex …

The Design Modelling of PEEK Composite for Bone Implants
… biocompatibility and structural integrity of Hip and Femur Implants through PEEK Composite and FDM Techniques. Examines using polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) materials for improved bone implantation. While PEEK materials offer benefits such as non-toxicity, high strength, and toughness, they …

Predisposing Risk Factors Associated With Stress Fracture Development In Division I Cross Country Runners
… and measurements of whole body, lumbar spine and hip bone mineral densities using a Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) was conducted on each athlete. Each athlete was also asked to answer a demographic questionnaire with questions regarding ethnicity, hometown, smoking status, vitamin/mineral …

The effects of stroke on the skeleton
Stroke is now a well-recognised risk factor for hip fracture. The aim of this study was to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms by which hip bone loss occurs in hemiplegia and to test the efficacy of a novel pharmaceutical strategy for preserving bone in stroke patients. Patients who were …

Bone Mineral Density, Preventative Behaviors And Risk Factors In African American And Caucasian Mother-Daughter Pairs
… have osteoporosis and an estimated 35% have low bone mass (nof, n.d.). It is estimated that while over 40% of African American women over 80 years meet criteria for treatment, yet less than 12% are actually treated (Cauley, 2011). Striking disparities exist between African American and Caucasian …

Evolutionary dynamics of the hominin pelvis
… as to the behavior, phylogenetic relationships, and selective pressures that resulted in observed changes. While the findings of these studies have yielded many fundamental insights on human evolution, the differences seen in these comparisons are the pattern, rather than the process, of …

Phantom and computational studies towards the clinical translation of gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy into neonatal respiratory care
… as the ear, nasal sinuses, lungs, intestines and hip bone, one the most promising clinical applications could be the lung function assessment in neonates. The focus of this thesis is to investigate the potential of translating GASMAS into such an application, combining a computational and …

Physical activity and its effect on bone in the short- and long- term perspective.
… thought to be an opportune time to build strong bones and the enhancement of peak bone mass (PBM) has been suggested as a prevention strategy for osteoporosis. Most exercise intervention studies in children, evaluating the accrual of areal bone mineral density (aBMD), include volunteers and use …
