Despite recent attention in the literature, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury mechanisms
are controversial and incidence rates remain high. One explanation is limited data on an in …

The use of biplanar videoradiography technology has become increasingly popular for
evaluating joint function in vivo. Two fundamentally different methods are currently …

Avian cranial kinesis, in which mobility of the quadrate, pterygoid and palatine bones
contribute to upper bill elevation, is believed to occur in all extant birds. The most widely …

Recent phylogenetic analyses imply a diphyly of tree sloths and a convergent evolution of
their obligatory suspensory locomotion. In mammals the extrinsic shoulder musculature …

Stereo (biplane) fluoroscopic imaging systems are considered the most accurate and
precise systems to study joint kinematics in vivo. Calibration of a biplane fluoroscopy system …

Numerous therapeutics demonstrate optimal absorption or activity at specific sites in the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Yet, safe, effective pill retention within a desired region of the GI …

The first biplanar X-ray motion analysis of mastication and food processing for Castor fiber is
presented. While particles are chipped off interaction of incisors involves variable …

Although chewing has been suggested to be a basal gnathostome trait retained in most
major vertebrate lineages, it has not been studied broadly and comparatively across …

X-ray videography is one of the most important techniques for the locomotion analysis of
animals in biology, motion science and robotics. Unfortunately, the evaluation of vast …

Mastication is a derived mammalian trait, characterized by rhythmic jaw movements
associated with intra-oral food handling, reduction and bolus formation. Hiiemae defined it …
