Functional imaging reveals modest strain concentrations associated with implant micromotion using modified BAK interbody cages

Creator:: Berry, Daniel J.
Abstract:: Interbody fusion cages are increasingly used in the treatment of spinal disease and injury in order to stabilize movement and promote arthrodesis of the vertebral bodies, but the micro-mechanics of the interaction between the cage and the adjacent host bone is not fully understood. This information has bearing on post-surgical...

Elastic, plastic, and total strains in human and porcine pedicle trabecular bone and PU-foam after pedicle screw insertion by utilizing functional micro-CT imaging

Creator:: Moran, Sean T.
Abstract:: Pedicle screw breakage and loosening remain as clinical complications of short segment instrumentation procedures for spinal stabilization. This study has directly visualized and measured elastic, plastic and total vertebral pedicle trabecular bone full-field strains in the regions immediately surrounding the pedicle screw during pedicle screw insertion by utilizing functional microCT...

Quantitative comparison of full field strains experimentally measured and analytically predicted for aluminum foams

Creator:: Rutschman, Scott A.
Abstract:: Metallic foams have become widely available and have unique properties that make them attractive for use in a variety of engineering applications. Due to their complex structure, the behavior of foams under complex loading conditions is a subject of continued research. Digital volume correlation is a technique wherein full-field strains...

Do running and fatigued running relate to tibial stress fractures?

Creator:: Sasimontonkul, Siriporn
Abstract:: Tibial stress fractures are common in runners. However, it is unclear what factors are associated with tibial stress fractures. This study aimed to investigate 1) magnitudes of bone contact forces occurring while running 2) whether or not repeated application of running loads is sufficient to explain tibial stress fractures and...

An in-shoe instrument for acquisition and storage of plantar pressure

Creator:: Noce, Heidi P.
Abstract:: A measurement system has been developed to continuously record pressure data between the sole of the foot and the shoe. Five force sensing resistors are mounted to an insole suitable for shoe insertion. The sensors are located at the heel, toe and under three metatarsal heads. Data from the sensors...

Quantification of total and plastic 3D strain fields within micro-damaged polyurethane foam

Creator:: Sutton, Matthew T.
Abstract:: Local material damage that occurs within cellular solids, such as polymer foams and trabecular bone, and precedes local fractures of the cell struts or walls is called micro-damage. The accumulation of micro-damage within cellular solids is often undesirable, although it is thought to be vital to the development and health...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Mechanical linkage design for haptic rehabilitation and development of fine motor skills

Creator:: Streng, B. Taylor
Abstract:: Thousands of children and adults suffer from fine motor skill deficits due to developmental disabilities or brain trauma. In order to acquire or reclaim these precision motor movements, occupational therapists work closely with each patient to develop the muscle memory required for completing tasks such as handwriting or drawing. Although...

Mechanical characterization of a simple gel in a prototype device that models a degenerative intervertebral disc

Creator:: Cenar, Yannick
Abstract:: A large part of low-back pain occurrences are due to disc herniation or prolapse of the nucleus pulposus. An alternative technique to existing treatments of low back pain includes nucleus pulposus replacement by an artificial material to relieve pain and restore normal function. To date, there has been a deficiency...

Evaluation of total hip arthroplasty research in the US and Europe

Creator:: Simmons, Marcy J.
Abstract:: Background: Hip replacements are considered routine operations which improve the quality of life in patients by reducing pain and restoring function. There are many variations in prostheses with varying benefits and disadvantages. Methods: Literature from the United States and Europe was collected on total hip replacements between 2001 and the...
