Patellar and Achilles Tendon Stiffness in Elite Soccer Players Assessed Using Myotonometric Measurements
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2019)
Background: Tendon overuse injuries are an issue in elite footballers (soccer players) and may affect tendon function. Achilles and patellar tendinopathy are the most frequent pathologies. Tendon stiffness, the relationship ...
Correlates of aortic stiffness progression in patients with type 2 diabetes: importance of glycemic control
(American Diabetes Association, 2019)
Using nonlinear jumps to estimate cubic stiffness nonlinearity: An experimental study
(2016-12-01)
Attempts are being made to improve mechanical design by using nonlinearity rather than eliminating it, especially in the area of vibration control and in energy harvesting. In such systems, there is a need to both predict ...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Masked Hypertension, and Arterial Stiffness in Men
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2010)
BACKGROUND Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is an established cause of hypertension However, it is not clear whether the frequency of masked hypertension in patients with OSA and whether OSA have an independent role on arterial ...
Matrix stiffness modulates metabolic interaction between human stromal and breast cancer cells to stimulate epithelial motility
(MDPI, 2021)
Breast tumors belong to the type of desmoplastic lesion in which a stiffer tissue structure is a determinant of breast cancer progression and constitutes a risk factor for breast cancer development. It has been proposed ...
Ajustes na rigidez dinâmica das articulações do membro inferior em resposta a diferentes condições de marcha
(Universidade Federal de Minas GeraisUFMG, 2016-07-01)
The studies presented in this thesis aimed to investigate how occur adjustments to the dynamic stiffness of the joints of the lower limb in situations that require an increased demand on the musculoskeletal system. The ...
Force and displacement transmissibility of a nonlinear isolator with high-static-low-dynamic-stiffness
(Pergamon-Elsevier B.V. Ltd, 2012-02-01)
Engineers often face the challenge of reducing the level of vibrations experienced by a given payload or those transmitted to the support structure to which a vibrating source is attached. In order to increase the range ...
