Quantifying changes in shoulder orientation between the prone and supine positions from magnetic resonance imaging
Shoulder girdle orientation was found to be different between prone and supine. These differences would affect the shape of multiple pectoral muscles, which would affect breast shape and the accuracy of biomechanical models. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Breast simulation pipeline: From medical imaging to patient-specific simulations
Satisfactory results were obtained for the estimation of breast deformation from preoperative to intra-operative configuration. Furthermore, we have demonstrated the clinical feasibility of such applications using a simulation framework that aims at the smallest disturbance of the actual surgical pipeline.

Effects of bone mineral density at the lateral sclerotic boundary on the femoral head collapse onset in osteonecrosis of the femoral head: A preliminary study
Our results indicated that bone mineral density value at the lateral boundary of necrotic lesion may be associated with the occurrence of subsequent femoral head collapse in pre-collapse stage osteonecrosis of the femoral head. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Rapid online correction of reach-to-manipulate movements in children with developmental coordination disorder: A pilot kinematic comparison study
Our findings from the current pilot study suggest that children with developmental coordination disorder have impairments in online correction when reaching for objects and may also have reduced coordination of some finger movements that are important for subsequent grasping and object manipulation. Future studies with larger sample sizes are warranted to confirm these findings. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Shear wave elastography demonstrates different material properties between the medial collateral ligament and anterolateral ligament
Despite both being ligamentous structures, the medial collateral ligament and anterolateral ligament exhibited separate material properties during ultimate failure testing. The weaker material properties of the anterolateral ligament likely contribute to higher rates of concomitant injury with anterior cruciate ligament ruptures. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Time course of surface electromyography during walking of children with spastic cerebral palsy treated with botulinum toxin type a and its rehabilitation implications
The temporal identification of deterioration/recovery of electromyographic activity as well as of muscle co-contractions, could be key elements in a rehabilitation program planning combined with botulinum toxin A. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Changes in in vivo three dimensional shoulder kinematics following latissimus dorsi tendon transfer for irreparable posterosuperior rotator cuff tears: A systematic review with meta-analysis
Latissimus dorsi transfer is a surgical procedure that can be used for treating posterosuperior rotator cuff tears. The procedure leads to improved shoulder function via alterations in the force vector couple around the shoulder. However, there is still no consensus on the biomechanical changes resulting from latissimus dorsi transfer. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Abnormal gait pattern in downhill hiking is related to muscular deficits of the knee flexors and extensors in active patients with total knee arthroplasty
The study shows that even if rehabilitation has been completed successfully and complication-free, five to 14 months after surgery, the muscular condition was still insufficient to display a normal gait pattern during downhill hiking. The muscle balance between quadriceps and hamstring muscles seems related to the persistence of a stiff knee gait pattern after knee arthroplasty. LoE: III. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)

Is a greater degree of constraint really harmful? Clinical biomechanical comparative study between condylar constrained knee and rotating hinge prosthesis
Rotating hinge knee prosthesis appears to represent a lower rotational constraint degree than constrained condylar knee systems in clinical practice and it may increase the clinical satisfaction.The clinical significance: Rotating hinge knee prosthesis appears to represent a lower constraint degree than constrained condylar knee systems in clinical practice.

Functionally graded 3D printed plates for rib fracture fixation
Additively manufactured, functionally graded designs have the potential to change the form and function of trauma implants. Here, the impact of functional gradients was limited because implants had small cross-sectional areas. (Source: Clinical Biomechanics)
