Purpose: We aim to provide a systematic methodology for the optimal design of MRD improved damping capacity and dynamical adjustability in performing its function. Methods: A modified Bingham model is employed simulate considering MR fluid’s compressibility. The parameters that describe structure property fluid are systematically examined their contributions dynamically adjustability. response ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to determine the best adjustable cushions, for the maintenance of normal sitting balance by healthy persons in wheelchairs, from a foam cushion, and a newly-developed air-adjustable cushion. [Subjects] Eighteen healthy participants (9 men, 9 women) were recruited. [Methods] Participants were evaluated using the Force Sensing Array System to assess average...
