Effects of sex, age, body height and body weight on spinal loads: sensitivity analyses in a subject-specific trunk musculoskeletal model.
(Elsevier, 21 September 2016)Subject-specific parameters influence spinal loads and the risk of back disorders but their relative effects are not well understood. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of changes in age (35-60 years), ... -
Sex differences in the response to resistance exercise training in older people
(Wiley, 28 June 2016)Resistance exercise training is known to be effective in increasing muscle mass in older people. Acute measurement of protein metabolism data has indicated that the magnitude of response may differ between sexes. We compared ... -
A study investigating short- and medium-term effects on function, bone mineral density and lean tissue mass post-total knee replacement in a Caucasian female post-menopausal population: implications for hip fracture risk.
(Springer Verlag, 26 February 2016)Significant increased hip fracture incidence has been reported in the year following total knee replacement. This study demonstrates that bone and muscle loss is a post-surgical consequence of total knee replacement, ... -
Image driven subject-specific finite element models of spinal biomechanics
(Elsevier, 17 February 2016)Finite element (FE) modelling is an established technique for investigating spinal biomechanics. Using image data to produce FE models with subject-specific geometry and displacement boundary conditions may help extend ... -
Safety and compatibility of magnetic-controlled growing rods and magnetic resonance imaging.
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 14 August 2015)PURPOSE: Magnetically controlled growth rods (MCGRs) are a new technology for the management of early-onset pediatric deformity enabling guided spinal growth by controlling the curvature. These rods contain a rare earth ...
