Abstract:

Mesozoic crurotarsans exhibited diverse morphologies and feeding modes, representing considerable ecological diversity, yet macroevolutionary patterns remain unexplored. Here, we use a unique combination of morphological and biomechanical disparity metrics to quantify the ecological diversity and trophic radiations of Mesozoic crurotarsans, using the mandible as a morpho-functional proxy. We recover three major trends. First, the diverse assemblage of Late Triassic crurotarsans was morphologically and biomechanically disparate, implying high levels of ecological variation; but, following the end-Triassic extinction, disparity declined. Second, the Jurassic radiation of marine thalattosuchians resulted in very low morphological disparity but moderate variation in jaw biomechanics, highlighting a hydrodynamic constraint on mandibular form. Third, during the Cretaceous terrestrial radiations of neosuchians and notosuchians, mandibular morphological variation increased considerably. By the Late Cretaceous, crocodylomorphs evolved a range of morphologies equalling Late Triassic crurotarsans. By contrast, biomechanical disparity in the Cretaceous did not increase, essentially decoupling from morphology. This enigmatic result could be attributed to biomechanical evolution in other anatomical regions (e.g. cranium, dentition or postcranium), possibly releasing the mandible from selective pressures. Overall, our analyses reveal a complex relationship between morphological and biomechanical disparity in Mesozoic crurotarsans that culminated in specialized feeding ecologies and associated lifestyles.

Abstract:

Speciation is a multifaceted process that involves numerous aspects of the biological sciences and occurs for multiple reasons. Ecology plays a major role, including both abiotic and biotic factors. Whether populations experience similar or divergent ecological environments, they often adapt to local conditions through divergence in biomechanical traits. We investigate the role of biomechanics in speciation using fish predator–prey interactions, a primary driver of fitness for both predators and prey. We highlight specific groups of fishes, or specific species, that have been particularly valuable for understanding these dynamic interactions and offer the best opportunities for future studies that link genetic architecture to biomechanics and reproductive isolation (RI). In addition to emphasizing the key biomechanical techniques that will be instrumental, we also propose that the movement towards linking biomechanics and speciation will include (i) establishing the genetic basis of biomechanical traits, (ii) testing whether similar and divergent selection lead to biomechanical divergence, and (iii) testing whether/how biomechanical traits affect RI. Future investigations that examine speciation through the lens of biomechanics will propel our understanding of this key process.

Abstract:

This work presents a survey literature review on biomechanics, specifically aimed at the study of existent biomechanical tools through video analysis, in order to identify opportunities for researchers in the field, and discuss future proposals and perspectives. Scientific literature (journal papers and conference proceedings) in the field of video-based biomechanics published after 2010 were selected and discussed. The most common application of the study of biomechanics using this technique is sports, where the most reported applications are american football, soccer, basketball, baseball, jumping, among others. These techniques have also been studied in a less proportion, in ergonomy, and injury prevention. From the revised literature, it is clear that biomechanics studies mainly focus on the analysis of angles, speed or acceleration, however, not many studies explore the dynamical forces in the joints. The development of video-based biomechanic tools for force analysis could provide methods for assessment and prediction of biomechanical force associated risks such as injuries and fractures. Therefore, it is convenient to start exploring this field. A few case studies are reported, where force estimation is performed via manual tracking in different scenarios. This demonstration is carried out using conventional manual tracking, however, the inclusion of similar methods in an automated manner could help in the development of intelligent healthcare, force prediction tools for athletes and/or elderly population. Future trends and challenges in this field are also discussed, where data availability and artificial intelligence models will be key to proposing new and more reliable methods for biomechanical analysis.

Abstract:

The role of corneal biomechanical properties in patients referred to laser vision correction (LVC) is currently being raised. Understanding of corneal biomechanics may support the proper selection of refractive surgery candidates, improve the refractive outcomes and safety of refractive procedures. The Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) and Corvis ST are commonly used devices to assess corneal biomechanical parameters in LVC. The vertical corneal incisions have a greater impact on corneal biomechanics weakening than horizontal incisions. Maintaining the high biomechanical strength of the cornea following LVC can decrease the potential risk of postoperative ectasia.

Abstract:

Objective. To assess the results of clinical approbation of individual finite-element biomechanical model of a patient’s spino-pelvic complex with subsequent modeling of the best option of surgical treatment. Material and Methods. A biomechanical modeling of changes in the sagittal profile of a patient with degenerative disease of the lumbosacral spine, bilateral spondylolysis, and unstable grade 2 spondylolisthesis of the L4 vertebra was performed. The developed biomechanical model made it possible to assess the characteristics of the stress-strain state of the spinal motion segments aroused due to development of the disease. Within the built biomechanical model of the patient’s spino-pelvic complex, a corrective operation was further modeled that assumed a preservation of harmonious profile of sagittal spino-pelvic relationships. Post-correction characteristics of the stress-strain state of spinal motion segments were studied and compared with preoperative parameters of the biomechanical model. Results. Using methods of biomechanics and computer modeling allowed to calculate the stress-strain state of the lumbosacral spine under static load for two options of fixation and intervertebral cage implantation at the L4–L5 level: four transpedicular screws (L4–L5 vertebrae) and six transpedicular screws (L3–L4–L5 vertebrae). The simulation results showed that neither metal implants, nor elements of the lumbosacral spine experienced critical stresses and deformations that could lead to the destruction and instability of the implant. Conclusion. The developed individual biomechanical finite-element solid model of the spine and pelvis allowed for biomechanical justification of prerequisites for the formation and further progression of degenerative changes in spinal motion segments associated with violations of the sagittal profile due to grade 2 spondylolisthesis of the L4 vertebra. The model built on the results of radiological examination biomechanically substantiated the best option of corrective spine surgery allowing to minimize stresses and deformations by choosing reasonable magnitude of correction of sagittal spino-pelvic parameters and configuration of transpedicular system.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE Concussion is a common topic of research as a result of the short- and long-term effects it can have on the affected individual. Of particular interest is whether previous concussions can lead to a biomechanical susceptibility, or vulnerability, to incurring further head injuries, particularly for youth populations. The purpose of this research was to compare the impact biomechanics of a concussive event in terms of acceleration and brain strains of 2 groups of youths: those who had incurred a previous concussion and those who had not. It was hypothesized that the youths with a history of concussion would have lower-magnitude biomechanical impact measures than those who had never suffered a previous concussion. METHODS Youths who had suffered a concussion were recruited from emergency departments across Canada. This pool of patients was then separated into 2 categories based on their history of concussion: those who had incurred 1 or more previous concussions, and those who had never suffered a concussion. The impact event that resulted in the brain injury was reconstructed biomechanically using computational, physical, and finite element modeling techniques. The output of the events was measured in biomechanical parameters such as energy, force, acceleration, and brain tissue strain to determine if those patients who had a previous concussion sustained a brain injury at lower magnitudes than those who had no previously reported concussion. RESULTS The results demonstrated that there was no biomechanical variable that could distinguish between the concussion groups with a history of concussion versus no history of concussion. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that there is no measureable biomechanical vulnerability to head impact related to a history of concussions in this youth population. This may be a reflection of the long time between the previous concussion and the one reconstructed in the laboratory, where such a long period has been associated with recovery from injury.

Abstract:

AIM: To investigate the short and long term corneal biomechanical changes after overnight orthokeratology (OK) and compare them with those occurring in subjects not wearing contact lenses. METHODS: Retrospective case control study enrolling 54 subjects that were divided into three groups 18 subjects each: control group (CG), short term (15 nights) OK (STOK) group, and long term (more than 1y of OK wear) OK (LTOK) group. Corneal biomechanics were characterized using the CorVis® ST system (Oculus), recording parameters such as time [first/second applanation time (AT1, AT2)], speed [velocity of corneal apex at the first/second applanation time (AV1, AV2)], and amplitude of deformation (AD1, AD2) in the first and second corneal flattening, corneal stiffness (SPA1), biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP) and corneal (CBI) and tomographic biomechanical indices (TBI). RESULTS: Significantly lower AD1 and standard deviate on of Ambrosio’s relational average thickness related to the horizontal profile (ARTh) values were found in the OK groups compared to CG (P<0.05). Likewise, significantly higher values of CBI were found in STOK and LTOK groups compared to CG (P<0.01). No significant differences between groups were found in integrated radius index (P=0.24), strain stress index (P=0.22), tomographic biomechanical index (P=0.91) and corneal stiffness parameter (SPA1, P=0.97). Significant inverse correlations were found between corneal thickness and CBI in STOK (r= -0.90, P<0.01) and LTOK groups (r=-0.71, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: OK does not seem to alter significantly the corneal biomechanical properties, but special care should be taken when analyzing biomechanical parameters influenced by corneal thickness such as amplitude of deformation, ARTh or CBI, because they change significantly after treatment but mainly due to the reduction and pachymetric progression induced by the corneal molding secondary to OK treatment.

Abstract:

Current research approaches employ traditional tissue engineering strategies to promote vocal fold (VF) tissue regeneration, whereas recent novel advances seek to use principles of developmental biology to guide tissue generation by mimicking native developmental cues, causing tissue or allogenic/autologous progenitor cells to undergo the regeneration process. To address the paucity of data to direct VF differentiation and subsequent new tissue formation, we characterize structure-proliferation relationships and tissue elastic moduli over embryonic development using a murine model. Growth, cell proliferation, and tissue biomechanics were taken at E13.5, E15.5, E16.5, E18.5, P0, and adult time points. Quadratic growth patterns were found in larynx length, maximum transverse diameter, outer dorsoventral diameter, and VF thickness; internal VF length was found to mature linearly. Cell proliferation measured with EdU in the coronal and transverse planes of the VFs was found to decrease with increasing age. Exploiting atomic force microscopy, we measured significant differences in tissue stiffness across all time points except between E13.5 and E15.5. Taken together, our results indicate that as the VF mature and develop quadratically, there is a concomitant tissue stiffness increase. Greater gains in biomechanical stiffness at later prenatal stages, correlated with reduced cell proliferation, suggest that extracellular matrix deposition may be responsible for VF thickening and increased biomechanical function, and that the onset of biomechanical loading (breathing) may also contribute to increased stiffness. These data provide a profile of VF biomechanical and growth properties that can guide the development of biomechanically-relevant scaffolds and progenitor cell differentiation for VF tissue regeneration.

Abstract:

Goldmann Applanation Tonometry (GAT) is the recognised ‘Gold Standard’ tonometer. However this status is refuted by eminent authors. These contradictory views have driven the initial goal to assess, from first principles, the evolution of GAT and to experimentally evaluate its utility and corrections. Subsequently, an important caveat became the evaluation of Corneal Hysteresis and Corneal Resistance Factor. Chapter 1. Biomechanical building blocks are defined and constitutive principles incorporated into continuum modelling. The Imbert-Fick construct is re-interpreted a simple biomechanical model. GAT corrections are also appraised within a continuum framework; CCT, geometry and stiffness. These principles enable evaluation of alternative tonometer theory and the evolving biomechanical markers, Corneal Hysteresis (ORA-CH) and Corneal Resistance Factor (ORA-CRF). Chapter 2 appraises corneal biomechanical markers, CCT, curvature, ORA-CH and ORA-CRF in 91 normal eyes and the impact these have on three tonometers: GAT, Tonopen and Ocular Response Analyser (ORA). Tonopen was the sole tonometer not affected by biomechanics. CCT was confirmed the sole measurable parameter affecting GAT. ORA did not demonstrate improved utility. ORA-CH and ORA-CRF do not appear robust biomechanical measures. Chapter 3 assessed agreement between GAT, the ORA measures and Tonopen. Tonopen is found to measure highest and raises the question should a development goal emphasise GAT agreement or improvement? Chapter 4 assessed repeatability of the three tonometers and biomechanical measures keratometry, pachymetry, ORA-CH and ORA-CRF on 35 eyes. Coefficients of Repeatability (CoR) of all tonometers are wide. Effects assessed in Chapter 5 may be masked by general noise. ORA does not appear to enhance utility over GAT. Isolation of corneal shape change via Orthokeratology (Chapter 5) demonstrate ORACH and ORA-CRF reflect, predominantly, a response to corneal flattening. It is proposed they do not significantly reflect corneal biomechanics. After reviewing models for tear forces (Chapter 6), a refined mathematical model is presented. Tear bridge attraction is minimal and cannot explain under-estimation of IOP by GAT in thin corneas. CCT corrections and the Imbert-Fick rules are incompatible. Chapter 7 summarises findings. The supremacy of GAT is likely to remain for some time, reflecting the sheer magnitude of overturning 60 years of convention, historical precedent, expert opinion as well as the logistical and educational difficulties of redefining standards and statistical norms.

Abstract:

Due to recent advances in aquatic research, technology, and facilities, many modes of aquatic therapy now exist. These aquatic modes assist individuals (e.g., osteoarthritis patients) in the performance of activities that may be too difficult to complete on land. However, the biomechanical requirements of each aquatic therapy mode may elicit different physiological and functional responses. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis was to: (a) provide a review of the physiological and biomechanical differences between aquatic and land based exercises, and (b) examine the acute effects of underwater and land treadmill exercise on oxygen consumption (VO2), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), perceived pain, mobility, and gait kinematics for patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Methods consisted of the retrieval of experimental studies examining the physiological and biomechanical effects of deep water running (DWR), shallow water running (SWR), water calisthenics, and underwater treadmill therapy. The methods also examined the physiological and biomechanical effects on 19 participants during and after three consecutive exercise sessions on an underwater treadmill and on a land-based treadmill. Based on the studies reviewed, when compared to a similar land-based mode, VO2 values are lower during both DWR and SWR, but can be higher during water calisthenics and underwater treadmill exercise. RPE responses during DWR are similar during max effort, and stride frequency and stride length are both lower in all four aquatic modes than on land. Pain levels are no different between most water calisthenics, and most studies reported improvements in mobility after aquatic therapy, but no difference between the aquatic and land-based modes. The OA participants achieved VO2 values that were not different between conditions during moderate intensities, but were 37% greater during low intensity exercise on land than in water (p = 0.001). Perceived pain and Time Up & Go scores were 140% and 240% greater, respectively, for land than underwater treadmill exercise (p = 0.01). Patients diagnosed with OA may walk on an underwater treadmill at a moderate intensity with less pain and equivalent energy expenditures compared to walking on a land-based treadmill.

Abstract:

Background Right ventricular (RV) diastolic function has been associated with outcomes for patients with pulmonary hypertension; however, the relationship between biomechanics and hemodynamics in the right ventricle has not been studied. Methods and Results Rat models of RV pressure overload were obtained via pulmonary artery banding (PAB; control, n=7; PAB, n=5). At 3 weeks after banding, RV hemodynamics were measured using a conductance catheter. Biaxial mechanical properties of the RV free wall myocardium were obtained to extrapolate longitudinal and circumferential elastic modulus in low and high strain regions (E-1 and E-2, respectively). Hemodynamic analysis revealed significantly increased end-diastolic elastance (E-ed) in PAB (control: 55.1 mm Hg/mL [interquartile range: 44.785.4 mm Hg/mL]; PAB: 146.6 mm Hg/mL [interquartile range: 105.8155.0 mm Hg/mL]; P=0.010). Longitudinal E1 was increased in PAB (control: 7.2 kPa [interquartile range: 6.718.1 kPa]; PAB: 34.2 kPa [interquartile range: 18.144.6 kPa]; P=0.018), whereas there were no significant changes in longitudinal E-2 or circumferential E-1 and E-2. Last, wall stress was calculated from hemodynamic data by modeling the right ventricle as a sphere: (stress = Pressure x radius/2 x thickness Conclusions RV pressure overload in PAB rats resulted in an increase in diastolic myocardial stiffness reflected both hemodynamically, by an increase in E-ed, and biomechanically, by an increase in longitudinal E-1. Modest increases in tissue biomechanical stiffness are associated with large increases in E-ed. Hemodynamic measurements of RV diastolic function can be used to predict biomechanical changes in the myocardium.

Abstract:

Humans show stunning performance on a variety of manipulation tasks. However, little is known about the computation that the human brain performs to accomplish these tasks. Recently, anatomically correct tendon-driven models of the human hand have been developed, but controlling them remains an issue. In this thesis, we present a computationally efficient feedback controller, capable of dealing with the complexity of these models. We demonstrate its abilities by successfully performing tracking and reaching tasks for an elaborated model of the human index finger. The controller, called One-Step-Ahead controller, is designed in a hierarchical fashion, with the high-level controller determining the desired trajectory and the low-level controller transforming it into muscle activations by solving a constrained linear least squares problem. It was proposed to use equilibrium controls as a feedforward command, and learn the controller's parameters online by stabilizing the plant at various configurations. The conducted experiments suggest the feasibility of the proposed learning approach for the index finger model.

Abstract:

Ankylosing spondylitis is a genetic condition [1] that frequently results in spinal sagittal plane deformity of thoracolumbar or cervicothoracic junction. Generally, a combination of osteotomy and spinal fixation is used to treat severe cases of ankylosing spondylitis to restore spinal balance and horizontal gaze [2]. This study investigates the biomechanics of opening wedge osteotomy at the cervicothoracic junction. Although surgical techniques for traumatic injury across the cervicothoracic junction have been well characterized in the clinical and biomechanical literature, the specific model of instrumented opening wedge ostetomy in autofused ankylosing spondylitis has not been studied biomechanically.

Abstract:

Biomechanics and mechanobiology play a potentially significant role in several ocular pathologies. Glaucoma is perhaps the best studied of these, but other ocular conditions where mechanics are important include retinal detachment and macular degeneration (1, 2). Knowledge of the mechanical properties of the relevant ocular tissues, including their constitutive relationships, is required to understand the biomechanical basis of pathology and also for developing biomechanically mediated therapies. Towards this end, it is necessary to understand the residual strain state of relevant ocular tissues prior to formulating accurate and predictive mechanical models (3).

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Biomechanical responses of the geriatric cervical spine with varying degrees of degeneration were studied using an anatomically accurate three-dimensional nonlinear detailed finite model of the human lower cervical spine. The geometrical details of the bony structure of the cervical spine model were obtained from the computed tomography images and the soft tissue details from cryomicrotome anatomic sections. The finite element model was validated under physiologic compression, flexion, extension and eccentric complex loading modes in terms of the angular stiffness, and the localized strain in the vertebral body and bilateral facet masses. Different levels of degenerated conditions in the cervical spine model were simulated by altering the material properties of the intervertebral nucleus pulposus, fiber content in the annulus fibrosus and decrease in the height of the disc. The external stiffness and internal stress responses of geriatric degenerated spines were compared with the adult normal spine. The overall stiffness of the geriatric spine increased with increasing severity of degeneration. Similarly, the stress magnitudes in the vertebral body increased with increasing levels of degeneration.

Full text

Abstract:

Biomechanics is a maturing discipline with numeric analysis of kinematic and kinetic data becoming widespread within academic research institutions and commercial organisations. Many engineers and scientists engaged in biomechanical analysis already routinely use MATLAB as it provides an environment that is productive for a broad range of analysis, facilitates rapid code development and provides sophisticated graphical output. Therefore, a biomechanical package which is based within the MATLAB environment will be familiar to many analysts and will inherit much of the analysis capabilities of MATLAB. This paper describes BoB (Biomechanics of Bodies) which is a biomechanical analysis package written in MATLAB M-code, capable of performing inverse dynamics analysis, using optimization methods to solve for muscle force distribution and produces sophisticated graphical image and video output.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Padding materials are routinely used to reduce the potential for head injury. The interior of vehicles has been identified as an area where injury can occur in the absence of padding. Head impacts with roof, pillars and support structures have been studied by Fan, Monk, and Friedman. Recent rulemaking by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified padding as a potential mechanism for reduction in head injury. Helmets utilize padding for energy management so as to reduce the potential for head injury. (Meyers, Becker). The occurrence of diffuse axonal injury with direct impacts and translational accelerations have been evaluated by Nishimoto. Mclean has suggested that brain injury does not occur without head impact.

Full text

Abstract:

Biomechanical engineering is a field that encompasses a wide variety of applications including the development and evaluation of medical devices, research regarding sports and sporting equipment, and investigations of how individuals are injured and how those injuries could be prevented. Understanding human tolerance, injury mechanisms, and the facts regarding a given scenario allows the biomechanical engineer to use these data to determine how an individual was injured. As the field of biomechanics is becoming more broadly understood, the biomechanical engineer is being called upon more frequently to contribute to forensic analyses. According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of forensic is as follows: “relating to or dealing with the application of scientific knowledge to legal problems.” For a biomechanical engineer, an increasingly reasonable option is to pursue a career in forensic analysis, where his/her knowledge and skills are employed to help attorneys, judges, juries, and other participants in legal proceedings understand technical concepts key to understanding the case at hand.

Abstract:

Biomechanical studies of artificial discs that quantify parameters like kinematics, the load sharing and stresses have been reported in literature for various artificial disc designs; however literature on the long term biomechanical behavior of the implant in the spine is sparse. Disc subsidence is one of the potential long term issues. In this study finite element method was used to investigate the biomechanics of Charite anterior lumbar disc (DePuy Spine, MA) following potential subsidence of the implant into vertebral endplates.

Full text

Abstract:

Biomechanics is a core curriculum course taught in many biomedical engineering programs. Biomechanical analysis has become a necessary tool for both industry and research when developing a medical device. Despite its significance both inside and outside of the classroom, most students have demonstrated challenges in effectively mastering biomechanical concepts. Biomechanics requires adaptive skill sets needed to solve a multitude of problems from various disciplines and physiological systems. Many students taking biomechanics have not taken foundational courses that are necessary for in-depth learning and mastery of biomechanics. Consequently, limiting their ability to solve complex problems requiring strong foundations in statics, dynamics, fluid mechanics, and physiology. Active (AL) and problem-based learning (PBL) are techniques that has been widely used in medical education and allow faculty to implement engineering concepts into the context of disease solving real-world medical problems. This study investigates using both traditional and problem-based learning teaching pedagogy to enhance student learning in a senior level undergraduate biomechanics course. Results of this technique have shown an increase in student performance and self-assessments.

Abstract:

Ideal animal spine models have been used by researchers to compare and evaluate the biomechanical behavior of spine following surgery and implantation due to the growing difficulty in obtaining fresh human spine specimens. Availability and resemblance of sheep and baboon spines to human spine make them suitable for use in biomechanical studies; however the literature on biomechanics of baboon and sheep spine compared to human spine is sparse. In the present study finite element method was used to compare the load transfer and load-displacement characteristics of L3-L4 sheep, baboon and human spines.

Full text

Abstract:

Structural and biomechanical parameters of Edible Frog, Pelophylax esculentus (Linnaeus, 1758), limb bones, namely, mass, linear dimensions, parameters of the shaft ’s cross-sectional shape (cross-sectional area, moments of inertia, radiuses of inertia) were investigated. Some coeffi cients were also estimated: diameters ratio (df/ds), cross-sectional index (ik), principal moments of inertia ratio (Imax/Imin). Coeffi cients of variation of linear dimensions (11.9–20.0 %) and relative bone mass (22–35 %) were established. Moments of inertia of various bones are more variable (CV = 41.67–56.35 %) in relation to radii of inertia (CV = 9.68–14.67 %). Shaft ’s cross-sectional shape is invariable in all cases. However, there is high individual variability of structural and biomechanical parameters of P. esculentus limb bones. Variability of parameters was limited by the certain range.We suggest the presence of stable norm in bone structure. Stylopodium bones have the primary biomechanical function among the elements of limb skeleton, because their parameters most clearly responsiveto changes in body mass.
