There are numerous stochastic approaches to indirectly couple solid asperity contact with the fluid hydrodynamics in the region of boundary or mixed lubrication. In contrast, deterministic approaches for calculating solid ...

Manual wheelchairs are essential for people with disabilities or limited mobility. However, manual propulsion causes biomechanical loads, including contact pressures on the palms of the hands. The hand rim design has ...

The development of trauma-induced lesions of the vocal folds (VFs) has been linked to a high collision pressure on the VF surface. However, there are no direct methods for the clinical assessment of VF collision, thus ...

Featured Application A method to directly estimate the contact pressure of the vocal folds using uncalibrated laryngeal kinematic data is presented. The approach is promising in enhancing the objective assessment of vocal ...

The aim of this study was to evaluate different handles used in axillary crutches with a Pressure Mapping System. The Grip Versatek system from Tekscan Inc. was used to measure the levels and the distribution of contact ...

This study aimed to determine the influence of flexibility of the chair seat surface on the pressure peak and on the contact area during the execution of a task of handling an object on the seated position by individuals ...
