This book contains fourteen chapters dealing with various aspects of the biomechanics of today. The topics covered are glimpses of what modern biomechanics can offer scientists, students, and the general public. We hope this book can be inspiring, helpful, and interesting for many readers who are not necessarily concerned with biomechanics daily.
This book presents the proceedings of the “International Conference of the Polish Society of Biomechanics – BIOMECHANICS 2018” held in Zielona Góra, Poland from September 5 to 7, 2018, and discusses recent research on innovations in biomechanics. It includes a collection of selected papers in all key areas of biomechanics, including cellular, molecular, neuro and musculoskeletal biomechanics, as well as sport, clinical and rehabilitation biomechanics. These themes are extremely important in the development of engineering concepts and methods to provide new medical solutions, especially in the context of an ageing population. Presenting the latest technical advances and research methods used in clinical biomechanics, this book is of interest to scientists as well as junior researchers and students of interdisciplinary fields of engineering, medical, and sports sciences.
The 4th European Congress of the International Federation for Medical and Biological Federation was held in Antwerp, November 2008. The scientific discussion on the conference and in this conference proceedings include the following issues: Signal & Image Processing ICT Clinical Engineering and Applications Biomechanics and Fluid Biomechanics Biomaterials and Tissue Repair Innovations and Nanotechnology Modeling and Simulation Education and Professional
The knee joint is one of the largest and most powerful joints of the human body since it supports enormous loads and pressures while offering stable and flexible movements. For this reason, the lower limb is vulnerable to the appearance of degenerative diseases, such as femoro-tibial osteoarthritis (OA) that dramatically reduces the quality of life in a patient. Knee osteoarthritis represents an enormous public health problem for patients and imposes a significant economic burden. Knee OA leads to annual healthcare expenses of more than $ 27 billion with gross knee arthroplasty budgets reaching $ 11 billion annually. Developing new prognostic technology and methodology could contribute to the detection of this disease and reduce human and economic losses. The objective of this research topic is to collect recent studies on the development of new techniques for the prognosis, prediction, diagnosis, and modeling of human knee diseases, in particular osteoarthritis. The change of biomechanics induced by a knee arthroplasty and its effect on knee performance is also part of the research project proposal.
Both broad and deep in coverage, Rubenstein shows that fluid mechanics principles can be applied not only to blood circulation, but also to air flow through the lungs, joint lubrication, intraocular fluid movement and renal transport. Each section initiates discussion with governing equations, derives the state equations and then shows examples of their usage. Clinical applications, extensive worked examples, and numerous end of chapter problems clearly show the applications of fluid mechanics to biomedical engineering situations. A section on experimental techniques provides a springboard for future research efforts in the subject area. - Uses language and math that is appropriate and condu...
