Falls on the outstretched hands are the cause of over 90% of wrist fractures, yet little is known about bone loading during this event. We tested how the magnitude and distribution of pressure over the palm region during a forward fall is affected by foam padding (simulating a glove) and arm configuration, and by the faller's body mass index (BMI) and thickness of soft tissues over the palm reg...

nowadays, one of the main problems encountered in minimally invasive surgery and telesurgery is the detection of arteries in tissue. in this study, for the first time, tactile detection of an artery in tissue and distinguishing it from the tumor has been modeled by finite element method. in this modeling, three 2d models of tissue have been created: tissue, tissue including a tumor, and tissue ...
