Abstract:
W artykule przedstawiono wybrane zagadnienia związane z metodami eksperymentalnymi i symulacyjnymi biomechaniki zderzeń. Podana została definicja biomechaniki zderzeń, jako szczególnej dziedziny na pograniczu nauk inżynierskich i medycznych. Przedstawiono koncepcyjny schemat działań związanych z prowadzeniem naukowych badań biomechanicznych. Omówione zostały pokrótce źródła wiedzy biomechanicznej, takie jak testy na zwierzętach, ochotnikach, zwłokach, manekinach oraz symulacje numeryczne. Dla każdego ze źródeł wiedzy wymieniono jego zalety oraz ograniczenia. Odnotowano, że chociaż badacze napotykają wiele wyzwań związanych z prowadzeniem eksperymentów i symulacji biomechanicznych, to istnieje duży potencjał w wykorzystaniu osiągnięć biomechaniki nie tylko w przemyśle, lecz także w rekonstrukcji wypadków. Impact biomechanics. Approaches, information sources, experiments and modeling The aim of the article was to present an overview of experimental methods in impact biomechanics. The definition of impact biomechanics as a special branch combining engineering and medical sciences is provided, together with a conceptual scheme of biomechanics research in the pipeline. Various sources of biomechanical data are briefly described, such as animal testing, volunteer testing, cadaver and anthropomorphic test devices (dummy) testing and numerical simulations. Advantages and drawbacks of each of these information sources are discussed. Many challenges related to conducting biomechanical experiments and simulations are indicated. However, there is a great potential for utilizing the accomplishments of impact biomechanics not only in industrial applications, but also in the practice of road accident reconstruction.

Abstract:
It is common for sport science practitioners, including sport biomechanists, to interact with high-performance coaches in the daily training environment. These relationships are beneficial for both scientist and coach, as well as the athletes. However, as indicated by difficulties in transferring new research into coaching practice, these relationships are not functioning as well as they could. The aim of this paper is to examine the various factors that influence the coach–biomechanist relationship in the elite sprinting context and gain an understanding of what impedes and enhances this, which will ultimately maximise an athlete's performance. Sprint coaches ( n = 56) and applied sport biomechanists ( n = 12) were surveyed to determine the participants' experiences working with each other and use of biomechanics in the training environment. Semi-structured interviews with coaches ( n = 8) and biomechanists ( n = 8) were conducted to further explore these ideas. From the biomechanists perspective, the relationship appeared to be less effective than from the coaches' perspective and both groups identified areas for improvement. The coaches had an inconsistent understanding of biomechanics theory and the support a biomechanist could provide in the training environment, while it was acknowledged that biomechanists needed to improve their communication skills. Coach and practitioner education were identified as where these improvements could be facilitated. There are many aspects of the coach–biomechanist relationship that could contribute to establishing optimal practice in the high-performance environment and enhance the transfer of knowledge from scientist to coach. This paper proposes a number of directions that could be taken.

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:
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:
Aging process becomes a miserable phase of lifespan of various individuals. Gerontology and Geriatrics exclusively deal with researching complex human ailments pertinent to old age in order to overcome the challenges posed by several irreversible physiological changes occurring with aging. Inevitably, homeostasis declines and massive allostasis gets organized during aging to destroy the functional independence and survival potential. Controlling the rate of aging process is the only possible self-regulating strategy available to each individual to enjoy Morbidity-Attenuated Life Years (MALYs) but maintaining an optimal fitness competence to travel along the healthy aging trajectory is not effortlessly feasible regardless of the socioeconomic conditions. Fitness evaluations on different age groups enhances the understanding that the aging process might be a premature event among several individuals at an early age itself due to multifactorial reasons, and the biomechanical constraints displayed by such individuals expose the probable wide spectrum of postural and movement dysfunctions or disabilities of unhealthy older adults. Many such health-ruining erroneous postures and movements remain asymptomatic perilously, which when addressed during appropriate stage in life, could repair the impaired physical efficiency to sustain the abilities to counteract the effects of gravitational force on the body. The importance of early detection and rectification of such peculiar biomechanical dysfunctions should become an integral part of public health prophylaxis. The repertoire of biomechanical dysfunctions of premature unhealthy aging needs to be strongly merged with gerontology to strengthen the pursuits to retard unsuccessful aging and accomplish successful aging. Keywords: Biogerontology, Biomechanics, Ageing Trajectory, Compression of Morbidity, Polypharmacy, Comorbidities, Successful Aging, Unsuccessful Aging.

Abstract:
Sports biomechanics refers to the science of the laws of mechanical motion produced in the process of biological movement. Its essence is to systematically and digitally reconstruct the fundamental attributes and characteristics of motion. At present, the research of sports biomechanics mainly focuses on the theoretical research of basic aspects and lacks the new technology of sports biomechanics digital simulation innovation and data measurement. This article takes the badminton chopping action as the research object and carries out biomechanical simulation and simulation research with the help of edge computing and genetic algorithm. First of all, this paper constructs a badminton chopping and hanging action system framework based on edge computing, so as to facilitate simulation and improve data transmission efficiency. Secondly, genetic algorithm is used in biomechanics simulation and simulation optimization and data analysis process. System testing and simulation verify the excellent performance of the biomechanical simulation of badminton chopping and hanging action established in this paper. The research will provide a reference for the academic circles to explore the field of sports biomechanics.

Abstract:
This paper provides an overview of the biomechanical considerations related to ankle injury prediction, prevention, and rehabilitation. Firstly, we discuss the biomechanical factors that contribute to ankle fractures, including loading patterns and bone density. We then explore various biomechanical assessment techniques, such as motion analysis, force measurements, and imaging modalities, which can be used to predict injury risk, guide treatment decisions, and monitor rehabilitation progress. Additionally, we examine biomechanical interventions, including bracing, taping, muscle strengthening, and proprioceptive training, which have proven effective in improving ankle stability and preventing injuries. Furthermore, we highlight the emerging technologies of wearable sensors and computational modeling, which offer new avenues for assessing ankle biomechanics and personalizing interventions. Ultimately, this paper emphasizes the integration of biomechanics with personalized medicine as a promising approach for optimizing ankle injury prevention and rehabilitation outcomes. However, further research is needed to address unanswered questions and explore future directions in ankle biomechanics.

Abstract:
The application of biomechanical methods and techniques in rehabilitation treatment has been explored to deepen understanding of the health recovery of injured athletes, thereby improving their efficacy and quality. There are various methods for using biomechanics, which can help people understand the patient’s movement characteristics and mechanical changes, evaluate the patient’s recovery progress, and optimize the plan. Therefore, this article mainly conducted research and analysis on the application of biomechanics in sports rehabilitation, and explained the specific role of biomechanics in it by comparing before and after sports rehabilitation in different situations. The results showed that after treatment with biomechanical methods, the patient’s muscle strength increased by 9.4%–20.93% compared to the original, and the power value increased by 0.8–4.56 watts. The effect was good for achieving 71.28% muscle activity, and there was also a significant improvement in its sports mechanics indicators. After receiving biomechanical treatment, the quality of motor skills in patients was over 60%, which showed significant improvement compared to before treatment. Therefore, when conducting sports rehabilitation, biomechanical treatment plans should be used to achieve better therapeutic effects.

Abstract:
The biomechanics of the equine hoof are not well understood. Therefore biomechanical models of the hoof were developed, using finite element analysis and finite deformation elasticity, to provide a means of analysing the mechanisms underlying hoof function and dysfunction. One goal of the research was to investigate the biomechanical effects of different hoof shapes. A parametric geometry model that could be configured to represent commonly observed variations in hoof shape was developed for this purpose. Tissue behaviour models, accounting for aspects of the nonlinearity, inhomogeneity due to a moisture gradient and anisotropy of the tissues, were developed and configured using data from the literature. A method for applying joint moment loads was incorporated into the model to allow the direct use of published hoof load data. These aspects of the model were improvements over previously published hoof models. Both hoof capsule deflections and stored elastic energy were predicted to be increased by increased moisture content and by caudal movement of the centre of pressure of the ground reaction force. These results confirm that hoof deflections may play an important role in attenuating potentially damaging load impulse energy and support the geometry hypothesis to explain the mechanism by which the hoof expands under load. Further analyses provided insights into aspects of hoof mechanics that challenge conventional beliefs. The model predicts that load in the dorsal lamellar tissue is increased, rather than decreased, when hoof angle is increased. Simulations of different ground surface shapes indicate that hoof deformability and not ground deformability, may be responsible for the concave quarter relief observed in naturally worn hooves. A hypothesis is proposed for the mechanism by which heel contraction occurs and implicates heel unloading due to bending of the caudal hoof capsule and contraction under load bearing of the caudal coronet as probable causes. Biomechanical analyses of this kind enable improved understanding of hoof function, and a rational, objective basis for comparing the efficacy of different therapeutic strategies designed to address hoof dysfunction.

Abstract:
The work reported in this thesis was carried out to investigate the kinematic and dynamic behaviour of the forefoot during normal locomotion activities. An extensive literature review on the subject is presented and the need for further investigations shown. Fresh autopsy specimens were studied to determine the course taken by tendons in relation to the joints of the forefoot, and the topography of joint surfaces mapped. The overall geometries of the first and second rays have been described too. Also, an experimental investigation has shown that without muscular activity the metatarsal bones are mainly loaded in bending. Locomotion studies have shown that the average peak ground forces under the pad of the great toe, the head of the 1st metatarsal, the pad of the 2nd toe, the head of the 2nd metatarsal and the head of the 5th metatarsal measure about 30% body weight (BW), 15% BW, 6% BW, 30% BW and 15% BW, respectively. Temporal graphs of these forces show their behaviour during the gait cycle. Furthermore, the magnitudes of these forces when wearing shoes-with stiff soles, when climbing up and down stairs, as well as when walking up and down a slope of 15° are reported. Based on the external forces measured, the internal forces acting along the flexor tendons and across joint surfaces of the 1st and 2nd rays during gait are estimated. The stresses that thereby develop in the shanks of the metatarsal bones indicate that the 1st metatarsal bone is subjected mainly to compression while the 2nd metatarsal bone is exposed to a high degree of bending. The relationship between the results of this study and clinical problems is considered and especially a hypothesis has been advanced to explain how under edge-loading conditions localised necrosis of the metatarsal heads could occur, thus giving rise to Koehler-Freiberg's disease.

Abstract:
The lack of suitable models for prediction of the vertebral body (VB) failure load for a variety of pathologies hampers the development of indications for surgical and pharmaceutical interventions and the assessment of novel treatments. Similar models would also be of benefit in a laboratory environment in which predictions of failure load could aid experimental design when using cadaveric tissue. Finite element modelling shows great potential but the expertise required to effectively deploy this technology in a clinical environment precludes its routine use at the present time. Its deployment within the laboratory environment is also time consuming. An alternative approach may be the use of composite beam theory structural analysis that takes into account both vertebral geometry and the bone mineral density (BMD) distribution and they are utilised to predict the loads at which vertebrae will fail. As a part of this work, vertebrae suffering from three distinct pathologies (osteoporosis, multiple myeloma (MM) and metastases) were tested in a wedge compression loading protocol (WCF) as a determinant for vertebroplasty treatment. MM bone was first tested for changes at the bone tissue level by means of depth-sensing micro-indentation testing. In the second part more than one hundred VBs were subjected to a destructive in-vitro WCF experiment, while CT images were used for in-silico structural and morphological assessment. In the last part, two vertebroplasty cements, calcium phosphate and PMMA, were tested. At the tissue level MM bone shows rather moderate changes which are of such small magnitude that alone would not be sufficient to change the overall vertebral strength. Relatively good predictions of VB strength were obtained when using image-based fracture prediction suggesting that bone distribution and pathological alterations to its structure make a significant contribution to overall VB strength. The results of VB reinforcement using either of the cements show increased strength while stiffness was restored only when PMMA cement was injected in lower porosity samples.

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:
Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. Biophysical mathematical models of the breast have the potential to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. This thesis presents research on the development and validation of biomechanical models of the breast subject to gravity and compressive loads. The finite element method was used to implement the theory of finite elasticity coupled with contact mechanics in order to simulate the large non-linear deformations of the breast tissues. Initially, validation studies were conducted using a breast phantom, which was placed in different orientations with respect to the gravity loading and compressed using a custom made device. A novel application of a block matching image processing method was used to quantitatively assess the accuracy of the biomechanics predictions throughout the entire phantom. In this way, systematic changes to the assumptions, parameters, and boundary constraints of the breast models could be quantitatively assessed and compared. Using contact mechanics to model the interactions between the ribs and breasts can improve the accuracy of simulating prone to supine deformations due to the relative sliding of the tissues, as was observed using MRI studies on volunteers. In addition, an optimisation framework was used to estimate the heterogeneous mechanical parameters of the breast tissues, and the improvements to the models were quantified using the block matching comparison method. A novel multimodality framework was developed and validated using MR and X-ray images of the breast phantom before being applied to clinical breast images. Using this framework, it was shown that the parameters of the model (boundary conditions, mechanical properties) could be estimated and the image alignment improved. The biomechanical modelling framework presented in this thesis was shown to reliably simulate both prone to supine reorientation, and prone to mammographic compression, deformations. This capability has the potential to help breast radiologists interpret information from MR and X-ray mammography imaging in a common visualisation environment. In future, ultrasound imaging could also be incorporated into this modelling framework to aid clinicians in the diagnosis and management of breast cancer.

Abstract:
Knowledge of the mechanics of the lens capsule is crucial for improving cataract surgery as well as understanding better the physiological role of the lens capsule in the process of accommodation. Previous research on the mechanical properties of the lens capsule contains many gaps and contradictions due to experimental limitations and inappropriate assumptions. Thus, the goal of this work is to quantify fully the regional, multiaxial mechanical behavior of the lens capsule and to calculate the change in stress and strain fields as a result of cataract surgery. Determining in situ the multiaxial mechanical behavior of the lens capsule required the design and construction of an experimental device capable of altering stresses in the capsule while measuring localized surface deformations. Tests performed on this device reveal that the meridional and circumferential strains align with the principal directions and are equivalent through most of the anterior lens capsule, except close to the equator where the meridional strain is greater. Furthermore, preconditioning effects were also found to be significant. Most importantly, however, these tests provide the data necessary for calculating material properties. This experimental system is advantageous in that it allows reconstruction of 3D geometry of the lens capsule and thereby quantification of curvature changes, as well as measurement of surface deformations that result from various surgical interventions. For instance, a continuous circular capsulorhexis (CCC) is commonly used during cataract surgery to create a hole in the anterior lens capsule (typically with a diameter of 5 mm). After the introduction of a CCC, strain was found to redistribute evenly from the meridional direction (retractional strain) to the circumferential direction (extensional strain), where both directional components of strain reached magnitudes up to 20% near the edge of the CCC. Furthermore, the curvature was found to increase at the edge of the CCC and remain the same near the equator, indicating that the mere introduction of a hole in the lens capsule will alter the focal characteristics of the lens and must therefore be considered in the design of an accommodative intraocular lens.

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.
