Simulation of the Lumbar Spine as a Multi-Module Paralel Manipulator by M. Ceccarelli, R. C. Saltarelo, G. Carbone, J. C. M. Carvalho

“…This model is suitable to properly simulate the trunk behavior at macroscopic level but also the smooth behavior of intervertebral discs and actuating motions of muscles and tendons. Simulation results for spring actions and joints reaction forces can give an evaluation of the forces that intervertebral discs supports during motions of a real spine.…”

Variations in Superficial Palmar Arch: Case Series with Clinico-anatomical Perspective by Dibakar BORTHAKUR, Rajesh KUMAR, Seema SINGH

“…The incomplete SPA was located superficial to the flexor digitorum tendons and deep to the palmar aponeurosis. SPA in the remaining 17 hands was anatomically normal, with major contributions from the superficial palmar branch of the ulnar artery and minor contributions from the superficial palmar branch of the radial artery. …”

A Novel Bond Anchor for Unidirectional FRP Member: Conceptual Design and Experimental Investigation by Yue Liu, Qing Wei, Ze-Yu Wang, Peng Xiang, Long-Ji Du, Bai-Yong Fu

“…Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is an advanced composite material with many advantages including light weight, high strength, and high fatigue and corrosion resistance, which makes unidirectional FRP suitable for tension members, such as cables, prestressing tendons, and tie rods. However, the unidirectional FRP is a typical isotropic material, which is difficult to be anchored and hence unable to give full play to the advantages of FRP. …”

Optimizing the graft size in the Evans osteotomy to minimize the calcaneocuboid joint pressure by highly realistic in-silico analysis by Luca Quagliato, Youngbin Lim, Yunjeong Choi, Kyoung Min Lee, Sewon Kim, Taeyong Lee

“…The FEA model includes all 28 bones of the foot up to the distal end of fibula and tibia as well as soft tissues, tendons, and muscles. The developed FEA model was validated by comparing the in-vivo pressure distribution on the foot plantar with the in-silico results, resulting in a low deviation equal to 7.8%, and with the deformed foot shape caused by the body weight in static standing position measured by a high-precision lidar scanning, for an average shape error of 5.3%. …”
