Objective. In this study an experimental set-up for measuring skin microvascular responses of the footsole to changes in externally applied pressure was analysed. Design. A clinical study. Skin microvascular blood flow was measured in healthy volunteers, during and after external mechanical pressure …

The purpose of this study is to create an accurate experimental database for the passive (in vitro)freedom-of-motion characteristics of the human knee joint on a subject to subject basis, suitable for the verification and enhancement of mathematical knee-joint models. Knee-joint specimens in a six degree-of-freedom …

Abstract—In many biomechanical motion studies, kinematic parameters are estimated from position measurements on a number of landmarks. In the present investigation, dummy motion experiments are performed in order to study the error dependence of kinematic parameters on geometric factors (number of markers, …
