The effective use of computational modeling and simulation tools early in the design process
is arguably becoming a gold standard for modern product development. Compared to many …

3D digital models of the upper limb anatomy represent the starting point for the design
process of bespoke devices, such as orthoses and prostheses, which can be modeled on …

The need for real-time high-quality audio-visual systems skyrocketed with the advent of the
ANA Avatar XPRIZE, a worldwide Avatar Robotic System competition. Avatar-Hubo scored 6 …

Aging leads to a decline in muscle mass and force-generating capacity. Ultrasound shear
wave elastography (SWE) is a non-invasive method to capture age-related muscular …

The Model The bones provide the basic solid framework for the body. They serve also as
lever arms at which muscles exert torque about the articulations of the bones. These joints …

In the human–vehicle–road system of collisions, the human is the most important factor, and
digital human models (DHMs) are developed with the aim of preventing or at least reducing …

Neighborhood walkability—features of the built environment that promote pedestrian activity—
has been associated with greater physical activity and lower body mass index (BMI; …

Body dimensions such as hip breadth, knee height, and chest circumference are important
measurements required to build items such as car seats and toilets. However, recent studies …

The increase of the population that exhibits a Body Mass Index above 30 kg/m2 (bariatric
populations) pose design challenges. In health care these challenges are particularly acute …

The commercial air travel industry has incentivized strategies that maximize the number of
bodies that can fit into the cabin. This demand for increased capacity in a limited space has …
