background : lifting methods, including standing stance and techniques have wide effects on spine loading and stability. previous studies explored lifting techniques in many biomechanical terms and documented changes in muscular and postural response of body as a function of techniques .however, the impact of standing stance and lifting technique on human musculoskeletal had not been investigat...

one of the most common diseases associated with musculo-skeletal ailment is low back pain which is epidemic among general public. if manual tasks are performed inappropriately by workers at workplaces, it may cause back pain in the lumbar spine. in recent years, a variety of assistive devices has been presented and used to utilize a passive force generator which has been effective in decreasing...

background: ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. purposes: we sought to introduce our new technique of bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction and to compare ...

Increasing the use of water and soil resources in watershed in recent years and unproductive and inappropriate use of land ecology has exacerbated the occurrence of floods. In this context, watershed management is one of the most effective ways to cope with this crisis. This research quantify the results of these activities by calculating the decreased volume and discharge due to biomechanical ...

Hydrological response of a watershed is a comprehensive symbol of environmental conditions and characteristics of the basin. Vegetation is one of the main factors in water resources status, erosion, and sediment of a watershed. Rangelands of Golestan province, Iran due to the geographical location, climate, and destruction of these resources as well as drastic land use changes from forests, and...

: investigating the mechanical behaviour of a healthy human ankle shows that it can be simulated by a mechanism composed of simple elements such as spring, and actuator. hence, appropriate design of this mechanism can be resulted to an artificial ankle that can help amputees properly. researches show that whatever the biomechanical behaviour of artificial ankle is similar to that of natural ank...

instruction: measurement of brachial artery diameter variation by ultrasound methods has commonly been used to test the endothelial function. it is known that the artery diameter is increased by flow stimulation. therefore in the present study, the effect of external obstruction, as flow stimulation, on the radial strain of the brachial artery was assessed. also the biomechanical behavior of th...

Abstract. Musculoskeletal modeling is a technique for studying joint contact forces and moments during movement. Subject-specific models can achieve high accuracy in estimating forces. Construction of subject-specific models, on the other hand, remains costly time-consuming. The objective this study was to determine what changes could be made generic musculoskeletal improve estimation effect th...
