Mathematically modeling the mechanical constants of thoracolumbar fascia under compression, in vivo
… have made it possible to move towards measuring tissue strain. Since this is an in vivo method, mechanical data of tissues in their natural environment allows a more accurate representation of tissue strain. However, many different methods of analyzing ultrasound data have been proposed. In this …

Biomechanics and dynamics of turning
… prosthetic socket to predict the differences in tissue strain between walking straight and turning, both with and without a prosthetic rotation adaptor. There are differences in the absolute amounts of tissue strain and its rate of increase between walking straight and turning. The inclusion of a …

Mechanical Loading for Modifying Tissue Water Content and Optical Properties
The majority of the physical properties of tissue depend directly on the interstitial or intracellular concentration of water within the epidermal and dermal layers. The relationship between skin constituent concentrations, such as water and protein, and the mechanical and optical properties of …

A Comparison Between Two Oblique Test Protocols for Cycling Helmets
… Rotational acceleration stimulates brain tissue strain resulting in mild to severe brain injuries. Current bicycle helmet standards test for linear acceleration, but not for rotational acceleration. The proposed standard (EN13087-11) by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and …

The Physical Implications of Diastasis Recti Abdominis Among Women at the End of Their First Postpartum Year
… in a substantial proportion of women. Although tissue strain at the linea alba should theoretically cause difficulties during tasks that require load transfer across the midline, there is limited evidence to support that DRA impairs trunk muscle function. Four studies are presented in this …

Continuum Models of Collective Migration in Living Tissues
… of these mechanisms via a continuum model of a tissue as an active elastic medium, where mechanical deformations are coupled to and feed back onto chemical signaling.</p> <p>We begin in Chapter 1 with a brief review of cell migration at both the single-cell and many-cell levels, and of the …

Defining Epithelial Cell Fate Dynamics of the Oesophagus during Postnatal Development and Homeostasis
Epithelial cells can respond rapidly to changing tissue demands to ensure organism survival. However, the mechanisms that finely control how cells adapt their behaviour remain largely unknown. To uncover the rules that govern epithelial cell fate, it is critical to understand their dynamic nature …

The Mechanism of Action of Hyaluronan Therapy as a Treatment for Osteoarthritis and the Assessment of Osteoarthritic Articular Cartilage Using Ultrasound
… with articular cartilage at the molecular and tissue level, and (2) whether quantitative ultrasound imaging can detect early degenerative changes in articular cartilage before irreversible osteoarthritic damage develops. By combining molecular characterisation, ex vivo cartilage experiments, …
