The continuum mechanical treatment of biological growth and remodeling has attracted
considerable attention over the past fifteen years. Many aspects of these problems are now …

This monograph presents a general mathematical theory for biological growth. It provides
both a conceptual and a technical foundation for the understanding and analysis of …

Unlike common engineering materials, living matter can autonomously respond to
environmental changes. Living structures can grow stronger, weaker, larger, or smaller …

The goal of this manuscript is to establish a novel computational model for stretch-induced
skin growth during tissue expansion. Tissue expansion is a common surgical procedure to …

Context Tennis requires repetitive overhead movements that can lead to upper extremity
injury. The scapula and the shoulder play a vital role in injury-free playing. Scapular …

The goal of this paper is to establish a novel computational model for skin to characterize its
constitutive behavior when stretched within and beyond its physiological limits. Within the …

Athletes participating in unilateral dominant sports are useful models for investigating
skeletal responses to mechanical loading as they provide controlled evidence in the …

Context: Tennis induces a decreased internal rotation range of motion at the dominant
glenohumeral joint. The effects of self-myofascial release have not yet been investigated to …

Bone loss is a serious health problem. In vivo studies have found that mechanical
stimulation may inhibit bone loss as elevated strain in bone induces osteogenesis, ie new …

The aim of this study was to examine the magnitude of upper extremity bone mineral content
(BMC) asymmetries in tennis players. Furthermore, the influence of sex (male versus female …
