Head trauma and concussion in football players have recently received considerable media attention. Postmortem evidence suggests that accrual of damage to the brain may occur with repeated blows to… (More)
The structure-function relationships for the permeability of trabecular bone may have relevance for tissue engineering, total joint replacements, and whole bone mechanics. To investigate such… (More)
Engineered tissues must utilize scaffolding biomaterials that support desired cellular functions and possess or can develop appropriate mechanical characteristics. This study assessed properties of… (More)
Research now suggests that head impacts commonly occur during contact sports in which visible signs or symptoms of neurological dysfunction may not develop despite those impacts having the potential… (More)
BACKGROUND
Shoe-surface interactions have been implicated in the high number of noncontact knee injuries suffered by athletes at all levels.
PURPOSE
To examine shoe-surface interactions on newer… (More)
With growing evidence of long-term neurological damage in individuals enduring repetitive head trauma, it is critical to detect lower-level damage accumulation for the early diagnosis of injury in… (More)
Concussion is a growing public health issue in the United States, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is the chief long-term concern linked to repeated concussions. Recently, attention has… (More)
Examining students’ learning styles can yield information useful to the design of learning activities, courses, and curricula. A variety of measures have been used to characterize learning styles,… (More)
The in vivo mouse tibial loading model has been increasingly used to understand the mechanisms governing the mechanobiological responses of cancellous and cortical bone tissues to physical stimuli.… (More)
Soccer is the source of the highest concussion rates among female athletes and is associated with neurological deficits at many levels of play. Despite its importance to our understanding of head… (More)
