Diet, lifestyle and musculoskeletal health
With advancing age, the musculoskeletal system undergoes a number of physical and physiological changes. These changes may manifest as loss in bone mass, muscle strength and physical function, thus increasing susceptibility to falls, fractures, disability, and osteoporosis. Multiple factors …

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 …

Incidence of musculoskeletal injuries in professional dancers
… intrinsic and extrinsic factors contributing to musculoskeletal injuries in professional ballet dancers. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of musculoskeletal injuries and their associated risk factors over a three-month period in adult female professional ballet dancers in …

Disability and Return to Work Following Musculoskeletal Injury
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries, damage or disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system including muscles, ligaments, nerves, tendons, bones or cartilage etc. MSDs are highly prevalent and associated with sickness absence, reduced work efficiency, job changes and earlier …

NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS OF MUSCULOSKELETAL PATHOPHYSIOLOGY: FOCUS ON MAGNESIUM
Il magnesio (Mg), nella sua forma biologicamente attiva di catione, è un micronutriente essenziale per la vita. Circa il 25% del Mg totale dell’organismo si trova nel muscolo scheletrico, dove è fondamentale per il rilassamento delle fibre. Una corretta assunzione di Mg con la dieta è associata …

Incidence of musculoskeletal problems among instrumental music students
The incidence of musculoskeletal problems amongst instrumental music students in Australia is unknown. This study examined students who play musical instruments and are potentially at risk of developing problems, including pain and injury, related to their play activities. Full-time instrument …

Patient-Specific Musculoskeletal Modeling of Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
… in cadaveric studies, and computational musculoskeletal models have been developed in OpenSim [2] to analyze muscle function and joint loading of the shoulder [3], [4],[5],[6], [7]. Little work has been done to quantify muscle forces and joint reaction loads in healthy and implanted …

Musculoskeletal Biomechanical Analysis of Brachial Plexus Injury and Treatment
… the shoulder. Recent advances in computational musculoskeletal modeling and simulation techniques allowed us to compare different nerve transfer surgeries solely based on the biomechanical roles of the muscles they target while controlling for concomitant clinical factors. Traditional motion …

Cross-scale Modeling of Functional Grading in Musculoskeletal Tissues
… a unique interfacial region that is critical for musculoskeletal physiological function. The proposed dissertation aims to identify, through mathematical modeling of graded tissue regions, the ways that these regions contribute to physiological function, and the ways that the degeneration of these …

CHARACTERIZATION AND ESTIMATION OF MUSCULOSKELETAL PAIN USING MACHINE LEARNING
<p>Traditional scales utilized for recording pain are known to be highly subjective and biased due to inaccuracies in recollecting actual pain intensities. As a result, machine learning (ML) models that are trained using these scores as ground truth are reported to have low performance for …

The preventable burden of musculoskeletal conditions in Australian musicians
Background: The prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms (MSSs) among musicians is reportedly high, and may have a profound impact upon those affected. Most studies have been conducted on university classical music students and professional orchestral musicians, leaving other sub-groups, such as …
