Previously developed structural finite element models of trabecular bone adaptation have used randomised networks of truss elements, resulting in high nodal connectivity (the number of structural elements connecting to each node). With element level adaptation nodal connectivity can reduce but remai...
We performed ultrashort echo time magnetic resonance imaging (UTE-MRI) on 13 young and 10 older (>60 yrs) adults. Bicomponent exponential fits were used to characterize the bound (short decay time, T2*s) and free (long decay time, T2*l) water in the Achilles tendon. Older adults exhibited significan...
Pressure mapping sensors provide portability but to draw valid conclusions their accuracy compared to a gold standard force platform must be established. This study compared original Tekscan readings and those scaled to a neural network (NN) to force plate values obtained during walking and jogging....
A 5-finger myoelectric hand prosthesis of 7 different hand postures was successfully controlled using ANN with an armband-type multi-channel EMG module. The classification accuracy was evaluated for 10 normal volunteers, considering the independence of the EMG feature groups, donning and doffing tra...
