Forces exerted during microneurosurgery: a cadaver study
BACKGROUND A prerequisite for the successful design and use of robots in neurosurgery is knowledge of the forces exerted by surgeons during neurosurgical procedures. The aim of the present cadaver study was to measure the surgical instrument forces exerted during microneurosurgery. METHODS An experimental apparatus was set up consisting of a platform for human cadaver brains, a Leica microsco...
متن کاملModel-based estimation of muscle forces exerted during movements.
Estimation of individual muscle forces during human movement can provide insight into neural control and tissue loading and can thus contribute to improved diagnosis and management of both neurological and orthopaedic conditions. Direct measurement of muscle forces is generally not feasible in a clinical setting, and non-invasive methods based on musculoskeletal modeling should therefore be con...
متن کاملTraction forces exerted by epithelial cell sheets.
Whereas the adhesion and migration of individual cells have been well described in terms of physical forces, the mechanics of multicellular assemblies is still poorly understood. Here, we study the behavior of epithelial cells cultured on microfabricated substrates designed to measure cell-to-substrate interactions. These substrates are covered by a dense array of flexible micropillars whose de...
متن کاملContractile cell forces exerted on rigid substrates.
Adhesive cells including fibroblasts produce contractile forces to the underlying substrate for their locomotion. Such forces are not only high enough to deform compliant membranes such as silicone but also bend rigid micro-cantilevers. The cell-induced bending of silicon micro-cantilevers was determined using laser deflection during trypsin treatment. The observed cantilever relaxation corresp...
متن کاملDoes experience influence the forces exerted on maxillary incisors during laryngoscopy? A manikin study using the Macintosh laryngoscope.
The influence of the level of experience of the laryngoscopist on the duration of laryngoscopy, the forces exerted on the tongue and on the maxillary incisors during laryngoscopy, were investigated. Five groups (anaesthetists, residents in anaesthesia, nurse anaesthetists, surgeons and medical students), each consisting of 15 individuals, participated in the study. An intubation manikin was use...
