The dual mobility blueprint disperses the forces exerted on the prosthesis more evenly, thus mitigating stress on the bearing surfaces. Enhanced Biomechanics and Bone Preservation: The distinctive design of bipolar hip prostheses results in improved biomechanical properties and contributes to preserving bone structure. ...
Nuritas has recently published the results of two clinical studies on their next-generation ingredient PeptiStong™. Identified within fava beans, with self-affirmed GRAS and Health Canada approval, Peptistrong™ contains cell-signalling peptides which, when compared against milk proteins, were found to improve the rate of muscle protein synthesis during recovery. In this New Protein ...
“One of the beauties of this therapy,” notes Greenberg, “is that we don’t actually change the biomechanics of the vessel. That was critically important to us,” he adds, “because the downstream negative effects of both stenting and angioplasty are likely due, at least in part, to the fact that they massively perturb the natural ...
Samples of this device were subjected to biomechanical flexibility testing to determine the impact of device implantation on functional spinal unit (FSU) range of motion ...
Finite element modeling can be used to determine the biomechanics associated with nucleus replacement technologies. The current study focuses on a new nucleus replacement device designed as a conforming silicone implant with an internal void. A validated finite element model of the human lumbar L3–L4 motion segment was developed and used to investigate the influence of the ...
Samples of this device were subjected to biomechanical flexibility testing to determine the impact of device implantation on functional spinal unit (FSU) range of motion ...
Thus, results outside the normative values can be representative of a voluntary motor impairment, which can be influenced by several factors, such as biomechanical limitations, central movement disorders, sensory awareness, and fear [5]: Low values in direction control, maximum or endpoint excursion are indicative of limited range of motion, weakness, and other musculoskeletal ...
Fig. 7 Open in figure viewerPowerPoint Mean (95% CI) changes in biomechanical parameters of hip subregions. ABL = abaloparatide; ALN = alendronate; BR = buckling ratio; CI = confidence interval; CSMI = cross-sectional moment of inertia; PBO = placebo; Z = section modulus. ...
We then ended up revising the patient, and used Intellijoint, and it really helped us try to figure out ‘how much have we changed the biomechanics of that hip?’. We were able to medialize the cup by about three millimeters, we reduced the head size by one length, which reduced our offset by three millimeters. ...
For the last 3 conditions (foam surface conditions), high values are indicative of sensory integration problems, however biomechanical factors should not be completely excluded. Even healthy individuals can lose their balance in those conditions, in which vestibular information must be used to control the balance [6]. ...
A medical exoskeleton is intended to help the health-challenged people. It is a dedicated biomechanical device for rehabilitation in case of lost or restricted mobility of limbs. Its operating concept is based on repeating the human motion biomechanics under proportional mitigation of the efforts required to make such. ...
Abstract Introduction: Few data exist on the effects of bone-targeted exercise on geometric and biomechanical indices of bone strength in men. The Lifting Intervention For Training Muscle and Osteoporosis Rehabilitation for Men (LIFTMOR-M) trial was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two novel, supervised, twice-weekly, high-intensity exercise programs in ...
Samples of this device were subjected to finite element analysis (FEA), digital pressure mapping and biomechanical flexibility tes-ng to determine the impact of the device on disc structure and biomechanical ...
The intention is to improve blood flow characteristics in the stented segment that may confer a vasoprotective effect and enhance biomechanical performance. The stent is also designed to promote swirling flow to elevate wall shear stress. ...
The advantages of metal–on–metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty include lower wear rate, restoration of anatomic hip biomechanics, preservation of bone stock for subsequent revision procedures, and enhanced stability due to the larger diameter of articulation. ...
These activities may cause Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to improper work postures. In this paper, a biomechanics approach is proposed to evaluate the work posture and provide a safe working environment. ...
