Fall 2012
The objective of this research was to study the work performed and distribution of work across the lower extremity in various landing tasks. Ten women performed jump landing and weightlifting tasks recorded in a motion analysis laboratory. Joint angles and moments were determined, from which...

Evaluating the Biomechanics of Tooth Movement induced through Orthodontic Braces using an Integrated Clinical and Mechanical Approach
DownloadSpring 2024
Orthodontics is the dental specialization focused on correcting tooth and jaw misalignments. The treatment is known to have positive effects on the quality of life of the public by improving personal aesthetics and oral health. A common fixed treatment option is orthodontic braces, composed of...

Investigation of Selective Targeting of Lumbar Spinal Structures with Spinal Manipulative Therapy
DownloadSpring 2016
Background: Low back pain is a prevalent condition commonly treated with conservative care, including spinal manipulative therapy (SMT). It is well known that forces applied by SMT are transfered to spinal tissues and that these forces inititate SMT’s benefitial (or possibly harmful) health...

Modeling the Midpalatal Suture during Maxillary Expansion Treatment and its Implication towards Appliance Design
DownloadFall 2014
Widening the maxilla, or upper jaw, is a common treatment in orthodontics used to generate additional room in the correction of tooth misalignments. Expansion is achieved through activation of an appliance inserted in the patients’ upper jaw. Currently, appliances utilizing expansion screws,...

Optical Measurement of Directional, Regional, and Strain Rate Dependent Mechanical Properties of Human Brain Tissue under Uniaxial Compression
DownloadSpring 2024
The brain is the most important central nervous system component, consisting of a complex network of neurons and glial cells essential for information processing, movement, and behavior control. While computational models have helped advance the development of diagnostic tools and the...

Polar bear (Ursus maritimus) foraging, spatial, and energetics ecology in the changing Arctic
DownloadFall 2020
Climate warming in the Arctic has resulted in rapid and extensive changes to sea ice dynamics and profound ecological impacts, including changes to the timing of life history events, community structure, and food web dynamics. Sea ice-dependent species such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus) are...

Quantification of Triple Single-Leg Hop Test Kinematic Parameters using Inertial Sensors: A Validated Method for Functional Assessments after Knee Injury
DownloadSpring 2020
Severe knee injuries such as anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus tears, can have a serious effect on the lives of young athletes. Consequences may include an inability to return to previous levels of activity, an increased risk of re-injury or contralateral injury upon return to sport (RTS),...

Repeatability of a novel prototype surrogate neck model developed for omni-directional head impacts
DownloadSpring 2022
Head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive, are common in sports and can lead to adverse side effects. Since head kinematics are thought to correlate with brain injury, the implementation of protective headgear aimed to mitigate kinematics of the head during impacts. While fatal brain...
