An important next step is to increase the capabilities of musculo-skeletal simulations to accurately predict robust stability of whole-body dynamic locomotion. Accomplishing this step is expected to positively enable biomechanical simulation, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and robotics research. Greater stability and robustness of musculo-skeletal simulations enables vertical advancement of the f...

Functional diagnosis is one of the most important steps towards helping stomatognathic disturbed patients. All the known methods sharpen the operator's eyes and help to bring dentistry up to its actual high standard. However, all systems represent only the technical possibilities of their time in perfect and, in some cases, large scaled mechanics. Electronics will definitely bring great advanta...

1944 The third of seven images from the series The Seven Ages of a Physician. This image depicts the education of a group of medical students at the bedside of a patient. Clinical ethics helps to focus the medical treatment on the patient as a person who functions within a complex network of social relationships and personal needs, rather than as just an " entity " with a biomechanical dysfunct...

Many authors have reported different useful studies in evaluating vestibular function through vestibular, somatosensory, and visuocortical systems using the test of balance and in assessing vestibular function through the vestibulospinal system using craniocorpography. We researched 100 patients suffering from tinnitus and vertigo (36 men and 64 women). Diagnoses of vestibular dysfunction can b...
