the aim of this critical appraisal and hazards of surface electromyography (semg) is to enhance the data acquisition quality in voluntary but complex movements, sport and exercise in particular. the methodological and technical registration strategies deal with telemetry and online data acquisition, the placement of the detection electrodes and the choice of the most adequate normalization mode...

background: single leg drop landing is one of the common sport activities that have greater likelihood of leading to traumatic oflower extremity. however, there is limited understanding of biomechanics of this maneuver. hence, this study aimed to compare the activities of lower limb muscles during pre- and post phases of single leg drop landing. methods: this semi-experimental research of 13 ph...

the primary aim of this study is to determine maximum bite force in molar and incisor regions of healthy individuals, to evaluate the bite force after open reduction and internal fixation of mandibular fractures using micro plates, for a period of up to 6 weeks and to determine the rate of recovery of maximum bite force in an indian population.

the amount and consistency of the applied forces to the tooth are important factors in tooth movements; therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the initial force and the force loss of three brands of elastics in 24 hours.in this in-vitro study sixty non-latex elastics (3/16 medium) from three companies (forestadent, dentaurum and ortho technology) were randomly selected. two static test...

objectives: foot and ankle problems are common complications in rheumatoid arthritis disease. gait pattern such as normal foot and ankle rocker is impaired in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. rocker sole as an external shoe modification is commonly prescribed in this pathology. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of rocker shoe on vertical ground reaction force parameters dur...

this paper presents a mathematical model for the vibration analysis of a three-component piezoelectric force sensor. the cubic theory of weakly nonlinear electroelasticity is applied to the model for describing the electromechanical coupling effect in the piezoelectric sensing elements which operate in thickness-shear and thickness-stretch vibration modes. hamilton's principle is used to d...
