Biomechanical characterization of slipping on pervious and traditional concrete walking surfaces
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-22)Pervious concrete is a porous material that may provide superior slip resistance due to its ability to exfiltrate melted ice and other slippery surface contaminants. The purpose of this study was to analyze slip-related ... -
Effects of deceptive behavior on biomechanical measures of standing posture
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-06-22)The accurate detection of deception has potential applications in many fields including credibility assessment, security screening, homeland security, and counter-terrorism. Techniques currently used for deception detection ... -
Evaluating the Ergonomics of Healthcare Providers using Kinematic Motion Analysis, Electromyography, and Musculoskeletal Modeling
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in healthcare providers have been heavily reported, and are a major cause of occupational discomfort, disability, and occupational absence. Current evaluation methodology of ... -
Investigating the Link Between Mechanics and Bone: A Local Approach to a Multi-Scale System
(2016)Bone,the organic material which skeletons are comprised of, allows all species of vertebrates to support themselves against the forces of gravity, engage in locomotion,protect soft internal organs, and a wide variety of ... -
Use of Biomechanical Motion Analysis to Evaluate Endotracheal Intubation Skill in a Simulated Clinical Setting
(2015)This study evaluated, using motion capture technology, the performance characteristics of novice and experienced medical personnel performing endotracheal intubation in a simulated clinical setting. Few objective measures ...
