Abstract Development of shear wave elastography gave access to non-invasive muscle stiffness
assessment in vivo. The aim of the present study was to define a measurement protocol …

Excessive axial tension is very likely involved in the aetiology of tendon lesions, and the
most appropriate indicator of tendon stress state is the true stress, the ratio of instantaneous …

Background Stand-to-sit pelvis kinematics is commonly considered as a rotation around the
bicoxofemoral axis. However, abnormal kinematics could occur for patients with …

This study aimed to characterize global sagittal alignment in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS)
with normal kyphosis (NTK, kyphosis > 10) and with thoracic hypokyphosis (THK, …

Ultrasonography is an established technique to follow up injured tendons, although the lesions’
echogenicity tends to become normal before the tendon is ready to sustain the stresses …

The intervertebral disc is a multicomposite structure, with an outer fibrous ring, the annulus
fibrosus, retaining a gel-like core, the nucleus pulposus. The disc presents complex …

Circling increases the expression of distal forelimb lameness in the horse, depending on
rein, diameter and surface properties of the circle. However, there is limited information about …

There is a lack of numeric data for the mechanical characterization of spine muscles, especially
in vivo data. The multifidus muscle is a major muscle for the stabilization of the spine and …

Study Design. Early detection of progressive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) was
assessed based on 3D quantification of the deformity. Objective. Based on 3D quantitative …

Rib cage 3D reconstruction is an important prerequisite for thoracic spine modelling,
particularly for studies of the deformed thorax in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. This study …
