... with the same protocol at the end of the second and fourth weeks of the four week training period. Data acquisition and control of the robotic device was accomplished through custom software developed in matlab ’s xPC target (R2009b, Natick, MA). All data were acquired at 1000 Hz. Force sensor data were...

... are investigated. Four investigative devices and testing methods to characterize the active and passive forces are presented in this work: (1) a novel manometer and a force sensor array that measure force per cm of axial length generated by the migrating motor complex, (2) a biaxial test apparatus and method...

..., ACL forces can conceivably be measured in animals after technical challenges are overcome. For example, motion and force sensors can be implanted in the animal but investigators must determine the extent to which these sensors and surgery affect normal gait. Our objectives in this study were...

... pressures of 120 mm Hg . The tension of 22 anterior leaflet marginal chordae from porcine mitral valves of Edwards ring size M 32 was 0.10 ± 0.04 N at the transmitral pressure of 120 mm Hg . A new method using an AIFP4 miniature force sensor to measure mitral valve chordal tension indirectly is successfully...
