The mechanical properties of soft tissues play a key role in studying human injuries and their
mitigation strategies. While such properties are indispensable for computational modelling …

Soft-tissue cells are surprisingly sensitive to the elasticity of their microenvironment,
suggesting that traditional culture plastic and glass are less relevant to tissue regeneration …

The paper describes the current views on the cause of a sub-class of pressure ulcers known
as pressure induced deep tissue injury (DTI). A multi-scale approach was adopted using …

The effect of differentiation on the transverse mechanical properties of mammalian myocytes
was determined by using atomic force microscopy. The apparent elastic modulus increased …

OBJECTIVE: Deep tissue injury (DTI) is caused by prolonged mechanical loading that
disrupts blood flow and metabolic clearance. A patient simulator that mimics the …

A common but potentially severe malady afflicting permanent wheelchair users is pressure
sores caused by elevated soft tissue strains and stresses over a critical prolonged period of …

Improved seating comfort is an important factor that most car manufacturers use to
distinguish their products from those of their competitors. In today's automotive engineering …

Knowledge on the forces acting on a woman's breast and on the mechanical properties of
the breast tissues is important for studying the effects of plastic surgery techniques for breast …

Of the plethora of work performed analyzing skeletal muscle tissue, relatively little has been
done in the examination of its passive material properties. Previous studies of the passive …

The effectiveness of the cup** technique, a treatment modality in Traditional Chinese
Medicine, in stimulating acupuncture points for pain relief was examined in this paper from a …
