  2. 6. Foot-Ankle Joints Responses. Epidemiology, Biomechanics and Mathematical Modeling

    Author : Chantal S. Parenteau; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mathematical models; biomechanics; range of motion; ankle injury; injury mechanisms; ligament failure; center of rotation; ankle and subtalar joints; ankle fracture;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to acquire better knowledge of foot-ankle injuries because of their increasing importance in car crashes. Three approaches were used: epidemiology, biomechanics and mathematical modeling. READ MORE

  4. 7. Injury Biomechanics in Car-Pedestrian Collisions: Development, Validation and Application of Human-Body Mathematical Models

    Author : Jikuang Yang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; impact biomechanics; car; mathematical dynamic model; pedestrian; safety countermeasure;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to develop and validate human-body mathematical models which can be used to simulate the dynamic responses of pedestrians in a car impact. The main focus has been on simulations of bumper impact to the lower extremities, since lower extremity injuries most frequently occur in car-pedestrian accidents and result in long-term consequences and high social costs.

  5. 8. Acute Achilles tendon rupture: The impact of physiological and psychological factors on function and return to activity

    Author : Unnur Saedis Jónsdóttir; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Achilles tendon rupture; Return to activity; Biomechanics; Kinetics; Qualitative study; Rehabilitation;

    Abstract : Unfortunately, there is no guarantee of a full return to physical activity after an Achilles tendon rupture. About 20% of those who sustain the injury do not return to their previous level of physical activity. Although the reasons for this have been examined, no definitive conclusion has been reached.

  6. 9. Influence of intracranial features on brain kinematics during head impact : biomechanical aspects concerning teleological protection of the brain

    Author : Johan Ivarsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; lateral ventricles; impact biomechanics; skull base; brain kinematics; head injury; natural protection;

    Abstract : .... READ MORE

  7. 10. Biomechanics of the Human Eye and Intraocular Pressure Measurements

    Author : Darja Ljubimova; Anders Eriksson; Anders Eklund; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; IOP; GAT; ocular biomechanics; corneoscleral envelope; finite element modelling; parametric analysis; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : This thesis addresses the reliability of Goldmann-type applanation tonometers (GAT). It deals with the investigation of the relation between predicted intraocular pressure, IOPG and true pressure, IOPT. READ MORE
