Abstract Skin graft expansion is the key to treatment of severe burn injuries requiring skin transplantation. While high expansions have been claimed by a majority manufacturers, realistic reported date with grafts are much lower. To clarify this discrepancy, we attempted understand biomechanics through study common pattern sizes, spacing, and orientation, their influence on mesh induced stress...

The handheld Myoton device has been useful in a broad array of skin and soft tissue disease by measuring five biomechanical parameters: stiffness, frequency, relaxation time, decrement, creep. To understand the effect anatomy on these clinical biomarkers, we investigated relationship between parameters both (epidermis dermis) subcutaneous thickness measured High-Frequency Ultrasound (HFUS). We ...

Biomechanics and movement science are rapidly growing fields in academia and industry. However, research suggests that many biomechanics and exercise science graduates are not prepared [1,2]. A key approach to improving the learning outcomes in these fields may reside in improving the classroom educational practices. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate how different teaching mo...

Biomechanics is a scientific discipline that studies the forces acting on body and effects they produce. In this article, we bring together biomechanists networking researchers to shed light how research efforts in biomechanics, primarily related study of human body, can be facilitated through computing technologies, such as edge cloud computing, software defined networking, information-centric...

Many students in Biomedical Sciences have difficulty understanding biomechanics. In a second-year course, biomechanics is taught in the first week and examined at the end of the fourth week. Knowledge is retained longer if the subject material is repeated. However, how does one encourage students to repeat the subject matter? For this study, we developed 'two opportunities to practice per day (...
