Hypogravity modeling of upper extremities: an investigation of manual handling in the workplace

Tatiana Maillard

Experiments on the lower limbs are the only approaches being used to study how hypogravity (HG) (0 < g < 1, e.g., Moon: 1/6 g, Mars: 3/8 g) affects human movement. The goal of this study was to expand this field experimentally by investigating the effect o ...

Age- and sex-specific normative values of bone mineral density in the adult glenoid

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Büchler, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair

The objective of this study was to determine the normative bone mineral density (BMD) of cortical and trabecular bone regions in the adult glenoid and its dependence on the subject's age and sex. We analyzed computed tomography (CT) scans of 441 shoulders ...

Overcorrected Implants for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Yasmine Boulanaache

Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is a degenerative shoulder joint disease, which causes the breakdown of articular cartilage and bone. People affected by this disease suffer from severe pain and eventually reduced mobility and poor life quality. This disease is ...

Reduction of scapulohumeral subluxation with posterior augmented glenoid implants in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty: Short-term 3D comparison between pre- and post-operative CT

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Patrick Goetti

Background: Failure rates in anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) are higher in case of asymmetric glenoid bone loss secondary to posterior wear, and in persistent static posterior subluxation of the humeral head (PSH). ...

Dislocation Cross-Slip in Face-Centered Cubic Solid Solution Alloys

Wolfram Georg Nöhring

The mechanical strength of metals depends on their resistance against various microscopic deformation processes. In ductile metals, the most important process is shearing of the crystal lattice by dislocations. One of the fundamental aspects of dislocation ...

A Closed-Loop EMG-Assisted Shoulder Model

Ehsan Sarshari

The human shoulder is a complex musculoskeletal system. Knowledge about its kinematics and dynamics can help improve associated treatments. However, to date direct measurements of these quantities can be only granted through invasive investigations or expe ...

A simulation framework for humeral head translations

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Ehsan Sarshari

Humeral head translations (HHT) play a crucial role in the glenohumeral (GH) joint function. The available shoulder musculoskeletal models developed based on inverse dynamics however fall short of predicting the HHT. This study aims at developing a simulat ...

A study on the density shoulder formation in the SOL of H-mode plasmas

Nicola Vianello

The term "shoulder formation" refers to an increase of the density decay length in the scrape-off layer (SOL) observed in many tokamaks during L-mode operation when a density threshold is reached. Recent experiments in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and JET have show ...

Alignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair

Dominique Pioletti, Ting Zhu

Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, whi ...

Effects of glenoid inclination and acromion index on humeral head translation and glenoid articular cartilage strain

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Previous clinical studies have reported associations between glenoid inclination (GI), the acromion index (AI), and the critical shoulder angle (CSA) on the one hand and the occurrence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and supraspinatus tendon tears on the ot ...

Intrinsic structural transitions of the pyramidal I 〈c+a〉 dislocation in magnesium

William Curtin

The stability of a mixed < c + a > dislocation on the pyramidal I plane in magnesium is studied using molecular dynamics simulations. The dislocation is metastable and undergoes a thermally-activated transition to either a sessile, basal-dissociated < c + ...

A framework for forward-dynamics simulation of the human shoulder

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Müllhaupt, Alain Farron, Ehsan Sarshari

A vast majority of the available biomechanical models of the human shoulder has been developed based on inverse dynamics, e.g. [1,2]. This imposes a number of limitations on their application. For instance, the glenohumeral joint is approximated as an idea ...

Following dislocation patterning during fatigue

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

Precursors of failure are dislocation mechanisms at the nanoscale and dislocation organization at the mesoscale responsible for long-range internal stresses and lattice rotation. Detailed information on the link between both scales is missing, computationa ...

Improving anterior deltoid activity in a musculoskeletal shoulder model – an analysis of the torque-feasible space at the sternoclavicular joint

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

Modelling the shoulder's musculature is challenging given its mechanical and geometric complexity. The use of the ideal fibre model to represent a muscle's line of action cannot always faithfully represent the mechanical effect of each muscle, leading to c ...
