Muscle activation variability is inversely correlated with walking speed

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Cole Stewart Simpson, Amandine Grappe

Individuals with motor impairments typically walk at much slower speeds than their unimpaired counter- parts, yet their gait data is still evaluated against the relatively faster gait of healthy subjects. Therefore a good understanding of unimpaired gait a ...

Novel interventions to recover the regenerative capacity of aged skeletal muscle by targeting the interactions in the stem cell niche

Laura Lukjanenko

The remarkable ability of skeletal muscle to regenerate upon injury is conferred by tissue-resident stem cells called satellite cells. With age, the regenerative capacity of muscle stem cells (MuSCs) dramatically declines. Developing strategies to enhance ...

An agonist-antagonist pitch production model

Philip Neil Garner

Prosody is a phenomenon that is crucial for numerous fields of speech research, accenting the importance of having a robust prosody model. A class of intonation models based on the physiology of pitch pro- duction are especially attractive for their inhere ...

Optimization of thin-film highly-compliant elastomer sensors for contractility measurement of muscle cells

Herbert Shea, Cristina Martin Olmos, Matthias Imboden, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Mélanie Favre, Oluwaseun Adelowo Araromi, Francesca Sorba

Test assays capable of providing quantitative characterization of the contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle cells are of great need for drug development and screening. Several methodologies have been proposed for achieving measurement of cell contractil ...

Evaluation of the effects of the Arm Light Exoskeleton on movement execution and muscle activities: a pilot study on healthy subjects

Silvestro Micera, Elvira Pirondini, Martina Coscia, Massimo Bergamasco

Background: Exoskeletons for lower and upper extremities have been introduced in neurorehabilitation because they can guide the patient's limb following its anatomy, covering many degrees of freedom and most of its natural workspace, and allowing the contr ...

Metabolic control of muscle and muscle stem cell function

Hongbo Zhang

Skeletal muscle composed of myofibers and a small amount of muscle stem cells (MuSCs). It plays important roles in energy metabolism. Some of the key metabolites, such as NAD+ and acetyl-CoA were recently found to regulate muscle and MuSCs function. Most o ...

Perivascular Macrophages Limit Permeability

Michele De Palma, Melody Swartz, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç

Objective-Perivascular cells, including pericytes, macrophages, smooth muscle cells, and other specialized cell types, like podocytes, participate in various aspects of vascular function. However, aside from the well-established roles of smooth muscle cell ...

Body vibration and its transmission in alpine ski racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

The aim of the study was to quantify the vibrations occurring at the lower limbs and the trunk during alpine ski racing. Four European Cup level athletes skied each three runs on a typical giant slalom course. For each turn, power spectral density (PSD) of ...

MATHICSE Technical Report : Integrated Heart – Coupling multiscale and multiphysics models for the simulation of the cardiac function

Alfio Quarteroni, Ricardo Esteban Ruiz Baier, Toni Mikael Lassila, Simone Rossi

Mathematical modelling of the human heart and its function can expand our understanding of various cardiac diseases, which remain the most common cause of death in the developed world. Like other physiological systems, the heart can be understood as a comp ...

A coupled 3D-1D numerical monodomain solver for cardiac electrical activation in the myocardium with detailed Purkinje network

Alfio Quarteroni, Christian Vergara, Toni Mikael Lassila

We present a model for the electrophysiology in the heart to handle the electrical propagation through the Purkinje system and in the myocardium, with two-way coupling at the Purkinje-muscle junctions. In both the subproblems the monodomain model is consid ...
