Estimation of optimal insertion angle in a mammalian outer hair cell stereocilium
17 May 2012
Jong Dae Baek, Yong-Jin Yoon, Mohammad H. Abedinnasab, Beibei Han, Sang Kyu Kwak
Abstract: Optimal insertion angle of mammalian stereocilia is estimated from the finite element analysis of the tip motion of outer hair cells (OHCs) stereocilia. The OHC stereocilia motion in the aco...
Role of gastrocnemius–soleus muscle in forefoot force transmission at heel rise — A 3D finite element analysis
14 May 2012
Wen-Ming Chen, Jaeyoung Park, Seung-Bum Park, Victor Phyau-Wui Shim, Taeyong Lee
Abstract: The functions of the gastrocnemius–soleus (G–S) complex and other plantar flexor muscles are to stabilize and control major bony joints, as well as to provide primary coordination of the foo...
Predicting the metabolic cost of incline walking from muscle activity and walking mechanics
14 May 2012
Amy Silder, Thor Besier, Scott L. Delp
Abstract: The goal of this study was to identify which muscle activation patterns and gait features best predict the metabolic cost of inclined walking. We measured muscle activation patterns, joint k...
A three-compartment muscle fatigue model accurately predicts joint-specific maximum endurance times for sustained isometric tasks
11 May 2012
Laura A. Frey-Law, John M. Looft, Jesse Heitsman
Abstract: The development of localized muscle fatigue has classically been described by the nonlinear intensity–endurance time (ET) curve (). These empirical intensity–ET relationships have been well-...
Functional foot symmetry and its relation to lower extremity physical performance in older adults: The Framingham Foot Study
07 May 2012
J.L. Riskowski, T.J. Hagedorn, A.B. Dufour, M.T. Hannan
Abstract: Background: While many studies use gait symmetry as a marker of healthy gait, the evidence that gait symmetry exists is limited. Because gait symmetry is thought to arise through laterality ...

About Journal of Biomechanics

Journal of Biomechanics publishes reports of original and substantial findings using the principles of mechanics to explore biological problems. Analytical and experimental papers may be submitted, and the journal accepts original articles, surveys and perspective articles (usually by Editorial invitation only), book reviews and letters to the Editor. The criteria for acceptance of manuscripts include excellence, novelty, significance, clarity, conciseness and interest to the readership.
