Intracapsular pressures in the flexion-abduction-external rotation and flexion-adduction-internal rotation tests and their comparison with classic hip range of motion : a cadaveric assessment
(Elsevier, 2021-11-11)
Background
Flexion-Abduction-External-Rotation and Flexion-Adduction-Internal-Rotation tests are used to reproduce pain at the hip during clinical assessment. As pain can be elicited by high intracapsular pressure, no ...
Proximal-to-distal sequences of attack and release movements of expert pianists during pressed-staccato keystrokes
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-08-12)
The aims of this study were to i) evaluate proximal-to-distal sequencing (PDS) in pianists’ attack and release movements during pressed-staccato keystrokes, and ii) investigate if trunk motion facilitates PDS of upper-limb ...
Time history of upper-limb muscle activity during isolated piano keystrokes
(Elsevier, 2020-08-28)
Playing-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMDs) in pianists can lead to the cessation of performance-related activities. A better understanding of the impact of performance parameters on muscle activities could help ...
Effect of low dose robotic-gait training on walking capacity in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy
(Elsevier, 2020-10-01)
Objective
Robotic gait training presents a promising training modality. Nevertheless, evidence supporting the efficacy of such therapy in children with cerebral palsy remains insufficient. This study aimed to assess the ...
Reliability of the kinematic theory parameters during handwriting tasks on a vertical setup
(Elsevier, 2021-10-07)
Background
The Kinematic Theory and its Sigma–Lognormal model have been used extensively in motor control analyses. It has recently shown promise in its ability to detect neuromuscular fatigue in the shoulder. The use of ...
Effect of 3D printed foot orthoses stiffness on muscle activity and plantar pressures in individuals with flexible flatfeet : a statistical non-parametric mapping study
(Elsevier, 2021-12-29)
Background
The 3D printing technology allows to produce custom shapes and add functionalities to foot orthoses which offers better options for the treatment of flatfeet. This study aimed to assess the effect of 3D printed ...
Optimal forward twisting pike somersault without self-collision
(Routledge & International Society of Biomechanics in Sports, 2022-03-23)
In acrobatic sports, twisting fast before piking allows athletes to enlarge their scoring potential. Since planning the arm and hip movements to twist fast is unintuitive, optimal control appears as a powerful and risk-free ...
Bioptim, a python framework for musculoskeletal optimal control in biomechanics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-06-28)
Musculoskeletal simulations are useful in
biomechanics to investigate the causes of movement disorders,
to estimate non-measurable physiological quantities
or to study the optimality of human movement. We introduce
Bioptim, ...

(Radiological Society of North America, 2022-03-01)
Imaging of hepatocellular carcinoma : a pilot international survey
(Springer, 2020-06-01)
Purpose
To perform an international survey on current practices in imaging-based surveillance, diagnosis, staging, and assessment of treatment response for HCC.
Materials and methods
Three themes were covered in this ...
