  • Precise lateral dose profile measurements of surface interfaces of hip prostheses

    Creator:
    Arnold, Alison
    Abstract:
    With the growing incidence of total hip replacements performed each year in the United States, the incidence of patients with prosthesis requiring radiotherapy is bound to increase. It is necessary to understand and quantify the effects of the high atomic number material prostheses used in total hip replacements on therapeutic...

  • Hip loading during the squat exercise

    Creator:
    Haberly, Gabriel J.
    Abstract:
    Hip fractures have high mortality and morbidity rates after incidence, with osteoporosis being a major risk factor due to the loss of bone mineral density (BMD). Lower-body resistance exercises, such as squats, can provide sufficient loading on the hip to induce osteogenic effects. However, this loading may depend on how...

  • The relationship between rate of torque development of the triple extensors at different time intervals

    Creator:
    Kitagawa, Taichi
    Abstract:
    The ability to quickly generate torque of the triple extensors is critical during rapid movements, especially when there is not enough time to reach peak torque. Rate of torque development (RTD), which is the rate of rise of the torque-time curve, is a commonly used measure of rapid torque generation....

  • Modeling Implantable Passive Mechanisms for Modifying the Transmission of Forces and Movements between Muscle and Tendons

    Creator:
    Homayouni, Taymaz
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the development of biomechanical models for evaluating a new class of passive mechanical implants for orthopedic surgery. The proposed implants take the form of passive engineered mechanisms and will be used to improve the functional attachment of muscles to tendons and bone by modifying the transmission of...
