Her group studies the biomechanics of heart valves particularly their calcification or hardening a condition that lessens blood flow to the heart.
The percentage of time a leg spends on the ground rather than in the air is referred to in biomechanics as a duty cycle;
Science and Systems conference in Berkeley Calif. Biomechanical synergythe robot which the researchers have dubbed supernumerary robotic fingers consists of actuators linked together to exert forces as strong as those of human fingers during a grasping motion.
The researchers hypothesized that a similar biomechanical synergy may exist not only among the five human fingers but also among seven.
At least among amputees Herr says Biom could help by fitting elderly populations with leg prostheses equal in biomechanical agility and control to a young adult s legs:
That points to yet another possible application of soft robotics Rus says in biomechanics If you build an artificial creature with a particular bio-inspired behavior perhaps the solution for the engineered behavior could serve as a hypothesis for understanding
The robot, developed by the team at MIT Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation, has mainly been used as a rehabilitation tool:
Hogan and his colleagues in the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation have measured the stiffness of the ankle in various directions using a robot called the nklebot.
The new SEG can be applied to a wide-variety of wearable energy harvesters to transduce biomechanical-stretching energy from the body (or machines) to electrical energy.
In addition to Mooney, the team included Georg Duda, a Wyss associate faculty member and director of the Julius Wolff Institute for Biomechanics and Musculoskeletal Regeneration at Charité Universitätsmedizin in Berlin,
and softball enthusiasts our new EASTON Power Sensor that provides personalized swing biomechanics data, instant feedback to make real-time improvements and Blast Motion's patented video integration for playback and sharing."
The researchers analyzed the biomechanics of walking and examined ultrasound imaging studies that showed the calf muscle
"As we understand human biomechanics better, we've begun to see wearable robotic devices that can restore

To make the device even more efficient Walsh is studying human biomechanics and testing people s energy consumption as they use it.
