The understanding of balance and sway remain a continuous field of study for avariety of purposes such as the understanding of what sorts of balance cause falls and injuryto happen, as well as what can be done to prevent this injury. Balance and sway amon

Acceleration is a basic concept in physics and engineering which is widely applied in fluid mechanics and vibration analysis. Recently, research has evolved to create a miniature device capable of measuring three components of acceleration. Electrical engineers have created a device called MinIMU-9 v2 that measures three components of acceleration. The system obtains acceleration components paralleling global (earth) coordinates. MinIMU-9 is designed to connect with an Arduino board (hardware) to maximize its functionality.

Objective The objective for this work was to investigate how the human musculoskeletal system deals with propagation and attenuation of the shock wave initiated at the heel strike. An experiment was designed to evaluate the shock wave on both tibial tuberosities and forehead.

Living cells respond to the outside physical environment by changing their geometry and location. It is crucial to understand the mechanism of cellular activities, such as cellular movement and utilize cellular properties, such as cellular viscoelasticity by both experimental and computational means. A computational model is developed as a tensegrity structure, which not only consists of the cytoskeleton, but also models the cellular nucleus and lamellipodia.
