A Laboratory Study on the Effect of Helmet Fit on Biomechanical Measures of Head and Neck Injury in Simulated Impact
DownloadFall 2017
Conventional wisdom and the language in international helmet testing and certification standards suggest that appropriate helmet fit and retention during an impact are important factors in protecting the helmet wearer from impact-induced injury. This thesis aims to investigate impact-induced...

Application of a biomechanical finite element spine model to the vicious cycle scoliosis growth theory: evaluation of improved FEA geometry and material assignment
DownloadFall 2009
Scoliosis is defined as the abnormal three dimensional curvature of the spine with 80% of all cases being idiopathic in nature. If left unchecked, this condition can cause cardio-pulmonary complications and occasionally death. Currently, the most common method of treatment of scoliosis is through...

Fall 2011
The objective of this thesis was to biomechanically examine the potential usage and limitations of a suspended aid for practicing circles on a pommel horse. The first study examined the influence of a suspended aid on the pommel reaction forces. Twenty gymnasts performed three sets of 10 circles...

Sit-to-stand transfer (STS) is a common yet critical prerequisite for many daily tasks. Literature conducted on healthy STS often assume the body to behave symmetrically across the left and right side; yet only a few studies have been conducted to investigate this supposition. These studies have...

Comparison of Manual Wheelchair Propulsion in “Real-world” and Computer Simulated Environments
DownloadSpring 2013
Research to help prevent or alleviate the muscle fatigue and injuries prevalent among long-term manual wheelchair users is largely conducted in a laboratory environment. Through laboratory simulations it is possible to focus on a manageable set of variables among the many pertinent ones that...

Fall 2013
Various X-ray imaging modalities, such as planar X-ray films, dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and computed tomography have been utilized to estimate bone strength for osteoporotic subjects. However, emerging cases of spontaneous femoral shaft fracture in osteoporotic patients after years of...
