Musculoskeletal Model of the Human Shoulder for Joint Force Estimation

Human beings like all organisms, are subject to a variety of diseases. Musculoskeletal diseases such as arthritis, that affect our muscles and bones, are particularly debilitating in that they considerably limit our ability to interact with our environment ...

Impact of synovial fluid flow on temperature regulation in knee cartilage

Dominique Pioletti, Philippe Abdel Sayed, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Several studies have reported an increase of temperature in cartilage submitted to cyclic sinusoidal loading. The temperature increase is in part due to the viscous behavior of this tissue, which partially dissipates the input mechanical energy into heat. ...

Biomineralization in Newly Settled Recruits of the Scleractinian Coral Pocillopora damicornis

Anders Meibom, Melany Melissa Gilis, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Calcium carbonate biomineralization of scleractinian coral recruits is fundamental to the construction of reefs and their survival under stress from global and local environmental change. Establishing a baseline for how normal, healthy coral recruits initi ...

A Neuromuscular Model for Symbiotic Man-Machine Exoskeleton Control Accounting for Patient Impairment Specificity

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Etienne Burdet

Millions of people worldwide live with impaired locomotion. The degree of impairment is highly variable and the causes are multiple. This variation necessitates the design of a new generation of exoskeleton controllers for personalised, symbiotic man-machi ...

Simultaneous extension of both basic microstructural components in scleractinian coral skeleton during night and daytime, visualized by in situ Sr-86 pulse labeling

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Using in situ (12 h) pulse-labeling of scleractinian coral aragonitic skeleton with stable 86Sr isotope, the diel pattern of skeletal extension was investigated in the massive Porites lobata species, grown at 5 m depth in the Gulf of Eilat Several microstr ...

Integration of mechanotransduction concepts in bone tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti

Mechanical stimulus has been identified for a long time as a key player in the adaptation of the musculo-skeletal tissues to their function. Mechanical loading is then an intrinsic variable to be considered when new developments are proposed in bone tissue ...

Evaluation of a geometry-based knee joint compared to a planar knee joint

Daniel Thalmann, Anders Sandholm

Today neuromuscular simulations are used in several fields, such as diagnostics and planing of surgery, to get a deeper understanding of the musculoskeletal system. During the last year, new models and datasets have been presented which can provide us with ...
