... computer simulation models. biomechanics shoulder modeling range of motion three-dimensional angle–angle–angle diagram Shoulder RoM is a common indicator of shoulder function characterized by large mobility due to multiple joints, low bony congruency, and soft tissue function...

...Joseph M. Iaquinto; Jennifer S. Wayne The aim of this work was the design and evaluation of a computational model to predict the functional behavior of the lower leg and foot/ankle complex whereby joint behavior was dictated by three-dimensional articular contact, ligamentous constraints, muscle...

... system to study the mechanical behavior of ECM. To begin to understand how the ECM and the cells interact mechanically, the three-dimensional (3D) mechanical properties of the ECM must be quantified at the micro-(local) level in addition to information measured at the macro-(global) level. Here we...

...) environment of cells and have clinical applications as tissue substitutes. In this study, three-dimensional (3-D) matrices were prepared from type I collagen, the predominant compositional and structural component of connective tissue ECMs, and structural-mechanical relationships were studied. Polymerization...

... processing time and overall kinematic accuracy. Markerless bone registration (MBR) can provide accurate measurements of carpal kinematics and can be used to study the noninvasive, three-dimensional in vivo kinematics of the wrist and other skeletal joints. [S0148-0731(00)01105-5] Contributed...
