Partial External Soft Tissue Vibration Damping Decreases Local Oxygen Consumption
نویسندگان
چکیده
Soft tissue exposure to vibrations was shown to increase the muscle activity [1]. External soft tissue vibration damping, using compression apparel, was associated with an increase of the damping coefficient of the soft tissue compartments of the leg and a decrease of the muscle activity during vibrations exposure [2]. It is assumed, but not known, that a decrease in muscle activity induced by apparel could also decrease the energy used by the muscles to dampen soft tissue vibrations, thus leaving more energy available for the task at hand.

Modification of soft tissue vibrations in the leg by muscular activity.
Vibration characteristics were recorded for the soft tissues of the triceps surae, tibialis anterior, and quadriceps muscles. The frequency and damping of free vibrations in these tissues were measured while isometric and isotonic contractions of the leg were performed. Soft tissue vibration frequency and damping increased with both the force produced by and the shortening velocity of the under...
متن کاملPartial calcanectomy and Ilizarov external fixation may reduce amputation need in severe diabetic calcaneal ulcers
Objective: The treatment of diabetic hindfoot ulcers is a challenging problem. In addition to serial surgical debridements, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and local wound care play important roles in the surgeon's armamentarium, for both superficial infection and gangrene of the soft tissue, often complicated by osteomyelitis of the calcaneus. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of Size-Dependent Piezoelectric Nanobeam Under Magneto-Electrical Field
The damping vibration characteristics of magneto-electro-viscoelastic (MEV) nanobeam resting on viscoelastic foundation based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory (NSGT) is studied in this article. For this purpose, by considering the effects of Winkler-Pasternak, the viscoelastic medium consists of linear and viscous layers. with respect to the displacement field in accordance with th...
متن کاملMuscle activity damps the soft tissue resonance that occurs in response to pulsed and continuous vibrations.
This study tested the hypotheses that when the excitation frequency of mechanical stimuli to the foot was close to the natural frequency of the soft tissues of the lower extremity, the muscle activity increases 1) the natural frequency and 2) the damping to minimize resonance. Soft tissue vibrations were measured with triaxial accelerometers, and muscle activity was measured by using surface el...
متن کاملAnalysis of the application of the generalized monod kinetics model to describe the human corneal oxygen-consumption rate during soft contact lens wear.
This work is an analysis of the application of the generalized Monod kinetics model describing human corneal oxygen consumption during soft contact lens wear to models previously used by Chhabra et al. (J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater, 2009a;90:202-209, Optom Vis Sci 2009b;86:454-466) and Larrea and Büchler (Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci 2009;50:1076-1080). We use oxygen tension from in vivo est...
