Abstract: The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the human body, but its biomechanics has not been as extensively researched as other body joints, leading to a ...

Mechanical forces shape the form and function of biological systems and regulate biological processes across all levels and scales. The motion of joints, contraction of cells, and even the ...

Our mission is to innovate and improve healthcare systems by using the knowledge of biomechanics, especially with computational approaches. Specifically, we develop new computational methods to ...

The Robotics and Biomechanics theme is engaged with fundamental research in the design and analysis of robotic and biomechanical systems. We aim to build understanding of how physical mechanisms in ...

Coordination and synchrony between rowers in a multiple rower shell affects overall system velocity. Force-time profiles should be better understood to identify specific components of a rower’s ...
