Objective To review the basic scientific status of repair in articular cartilage tissue and to
assess the efficiency of current clinical therapies instigated for the treatment of structural …

▪ Abstract In this chapter, the recent advances in cartilage biomechanics and
electromechanics are reviewed and summarized. Our emphasis is on the new experimental …

This paper contains experimental results of in vitro, uniaxial tension of swine brain tissue in
finite deformation as well as proposes a new hyper-viscoelastic constitutive model for the …

Objective Data pertaining to the quantitative structural features and organization of normal
articular cartilage are of great importance in understanding its biomechanical properties and …

Recent developments in computer-integrated and robot-aided surgery—in particular, the
emergence of automatic surgical tools and robots—as well as advances in virtual reality …

Osteochondral (OC) tissue is a biphasic material comprised of articular cartilage integrated
atop subchondral bone. Damage to this tissue is highly problematic, owing to its intrinsic …

OBJECTIVE: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a three-dimensional imaging technique
with unparalleled ability to evaluate articular cartilage. This report reviews the current status …

The effects of exercise on articular hyaline articular cartilage have traditionally been
examined in animal models, but until recently little information has been available on human …

The response of spinal cord tissue to mechanical loadings is not well understood. In this
study, isolated fresh cervical spinal cord samples were obtained from cadavers at autopsy …

Background: Knowledge of the deformational behaviour of articular cartilage in vivo is
required to understand the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis and the mechanical target …
