DOI: 10.1080/14763141.2016.1216585
Abstract: Abstract The primary role of the shoulder joint in tennis forehand drive is at the expense of the loadings undergone by this joint. Nevertheless, few studies investigated glenohumeral (GH) contact forces during forehand drives. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/tbme.2021.3075041
Abstract: Objective: Customisation of musculoskeletal modelling using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) significantly improves the model accuracy, but the process is time consuming and computationally intensive. This study hypothesizes that linear scaling to a lower limb amputee… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joor.12543
Abstract: Studies have explored occlusal marking interpretation, repeatability and accuracy. But, when an occlusion detection product is interposed between teeth, direct tooth-tooth occlusal contact relationships are replaced by tooth-material-tooth structures. Thus, the marks cannot reflect the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1123/jab.2022-0011
Abstract: Skipping has been proposed as a viable cross-training exercise to running due to its lower knee contact forces and higher whole-body energy expenditure. However, how individual muscle forces, energy expenditure, and joint loading are affected… read more here.
