Development of a Biomechanical Device for Parameter Quantification Associated w...
Oliveira, Natacha; Carvalho, Filipe; Laíns, Jorge; Rasteiro, Deolinda; Roseiro, Luís ManuelThe "sit-to-stand" (STS) movement is essential during activities of daily living (ADL). In individuals with physical-motor diseases, its execution and repetition increases activity levels, which is crucial for a good motor rehabilitation process and daily training. Interestingly, there are no sit-to-stand devices that allow a quantitative assessment of the key variables that happen during STS, and there is a ne...
The Effect of External Fixator Configurations on the Dynamic Compression Load: ...
Amaro, Ana Martins; Paulino, Maria Fátima; Roseiro, Luís Manuel; Neto, Maria Augusta(1) Objective: External fixation systems are commonly used by surgeons to ensure stabilization and consolidation of bone fractures, especially in patients who are at high risk for systematic complications. Both rigid and elastic external fixations are important in the fracture healing process. This study aims to evaluate the behavior of the Orthofix Limb Reconstruction System (LRS)® in the dynamic compression m...
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...
