Comparative Analysis of Pressure Platform and Insole Devices for Plantar Pressu...
Amaro, Catarina M.; Paulino, Maria F.; Valvez, Sara; Roseiro, Luis; Castro, Maria António; Amaro, Ana M.Foot plantar pressure refers to the pressure or force that the foot generates in contact with the ground, varying across different regions of the foot. This parameter is essential in static and dynamic analyses to access accurate diagnoses, study the human body biomechanics, create functional footwear designs, aid in rehabilitation and physiotherapy, and prevent injuries in athletes during sports practice. This...
Evaluation of Bone Consolidation in External Fixation with an Electromechanical...
Paulino, Maria F.; Roseiro, Luís M.; Balacó, Inês; Neto, Maria A.; Amaro, Ana M.The monitoring of fracture or osteotomy healing is vital for orthopedists to help advise, if necessary, secondary treatments for improving healing outcomes and minimizing patient suffering. It has been decades since osteotomy stiffness has been identified as one main parameter to quantify and qualify the outcome of a regenerated callus. Still, radiographic imaging remains the current standard diagnostic techniq...
Hand-Arm Vibration Assessment and Changes in the Thermal Map of the Skin in Ten...
Amaro, Ana M.; Paulino, Maria F.; Neto, Maria A.; Roseiro, Luís ManuelDuring recent years the number of tennis athletes has increased significantly. When playing tennis, the human body is exposed to many situations which can lead to human injuries, such as the so-called tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). In this work a biomechanical analysis of tennis athletes, particularly during the service, was performed, considering three different types of over-grip and the presence of on...
