Musculoskeletal Modeling of The Human Elbow Joint
Comprehensive knowledge of the in vivo loading of elbow structures is essential in understanding the biomechanical causes associated with elbow diseases and injuries, and to find appropriate treatment. Currently, in vivo measurements of ligament, and muscle forces, and cartilage contact pressures …

Elbow exoskeleton mechanism for multistage poststroke rehabilitation.
… intervention. To support this, a framework for elbow exoskeleton has been developed that is portable and has the potential to offer all three types of exercises (external force, assistive and resistive) in a single structure. The design enhances torque to weight ratio compared to joint based …

EMG-EMG Coherence Analysis of Elbow and Shoulder Muscles
Motor coordination can be described by the activation of a few intermuscular coordination patterns, or muscle synergies. Muscle synergy can be defined as a relatively fixed pattern of activation across a set of muscles. The neural mechanisms underlying muscle synergies remain to be fairly unknown. …

Hand and elbow gesture recognition based on electromyography signal
… of muscles that is involved in certain hand and elbow gestures. The Electromyography (EMG) data acquisition protocol is then outlined and performed where the recorded Electromyography (EMG) signal corresponds with certain hand and elbow gestures. Therefore, four hand gestures were targeted, “hand …

Elbow Joint Contact Mechanics: Multibody and Finite Element Methods
… for the joint. Better understanding of elbow cartilage contact mechanics can provide a valuable insight into cartilage degeneration mechanisms and osteoarthritis development. Computational modeling is a very efficient tool that helps us gain better understanding of joint biomechanics, …

Effects of isometric elbow flexion on electromyographic spike analysis
… in the sagittal plane, with the shoulder and elbow flexed to 90 degrees. The elbow rested on a support in a neutral position (mid pronation/mid supination) and placed within a wrist cuff, fastened below the styloid process. The wrist cuff was attached to a load cell (JR3 Inc., Woodland, CA) …

Joint Torque Feedback for Motion Training with an Elbow Exoskeleton
… starting from the fabrication of a lightweight elbow haptic exoskeleton. A cheap hobby motor and easily accessible hardware are introduced for manufacturing and open-sourced embedded architecture for data logging. The total cost and the weights are $500 and 509g. Also, as the prerequisite step …

Posttraumatic stiffness in the elbow joint // Посттравматична скованост в лакътната става
… to the factor "onset of movement" of the elbow joint: on the 14th day (early onset) and after the 30th day (late onset), in cases of already diagnosed post-traumatic elbow stiffness. To achieve the set goal, 90 patients aged between 18 and 70 with clinical data for elbow stiffness were …

Training distribution and the acquisition of maximal isometric elbow flexion strength
… group (n=13) completed 15 maximal isometric elbow flexion strength trials in one session, while the distributed group (n=13) performed five such contractions on three successive days. After a two-week and three month rest interval, both groups returned to perfonn another five maximal …

Development and Validation of a Computational Musculoskeletal Model of the Elbow Joint
… reconstructive procedures. While injury to the elbow joint can be significantly debilitating, questions still remain regarding its normal, pathologic, and repaired behavior. Biomechanical models of the elbow have been developed, but all have assumed fixed joint axes of rotation and ignored the …

Development and validation of a computational multibody model of the elbow joint
Computational multibody models of the elbow joint can provide a powerful tool to study joint biomechanics, examine muscle and ligament function, soft tissue loading, and the effects of joint trauma. Such models can reduce the cost of expensive experimental testing and can predict some parameters …

Liquid metal flow in a sharp elbow in a uniform transverse magnetic field
In the self-cooling blankets of the Tokamak fusion reactor, a liquid metal, namely liquid lithium, is pumped through a system of ducts to transfer heat and capture neutrons. One of the blanket designs proposed in Argonne National Laboratory's Blanket Comparison and Selection Study uses a …

Investigations into the Form and Design of an Elbow Exoskeleton Using Additive Manufacturing
The commercial exoskeletons are often heavy and bulky, thus reducing the weight and simplifying the form factor becomes a critical task. This thesis details the process of designing and making a low-profile, cable-driven arm exoskeleton. Many advanced methods are explored: 3D scanning, generative …
