This paper explores the use of biomechanics in identifying the mechanistic causes of
musculoskeletal tissue injury and degeneration. It appraises how biomechanics has been …

The Achilles tendon (AT) is the strongest tendon in humans, yet it often suffers from injury.
The mechanical properties of the AT afford efficient movement, power amplification and …

This work presents an electrophysiologically and dynamically consistent musculoskeletal
model to predict stiffness in the human ankle and knee joints as derived from the joints …

Musculoskeletal tissues, including tendons, are sensitive to their mechanical environment,
with both excessive and insufficient loading resulting in reduced tissue strength. Tendons …

Foot and ankle injuries are common as a result of overuse or trauma as well as various
pathologies. This study aims to establish a three-dimensional foot-ankle model and …

The Achilles is the thickest tendon in the body and is the primary elastic energy-storing
component during running. The form and function of the human Achilles is complex: twisted …

Field data analyses have shown that small female, obese, and/or older occupants are at
increased risks of death and serious injury in motor-vehicle crashes compared with mid-size …

Biomedical research and clinical practice are struggling to cope with the growing complexity
that the progress of health care involves. The most challenging diseases, those with the …

Concurrent stimulation and reinforcement of motor and sensory pathways has been
proposed as an effective approach to restoring function after developmental or acquired …

The Executive Council of the International Society of Biomechanics has initiated and
overseen the commemorations of the Society's 50th Anniversary in 2023. This included …
