IOP is usually measured in an indirect way by measuring the tension on the surface of the eye‚ which is extrapolated to estimate the internal pressure. Therefore‚ methods to measure the IOP are influenced by corneal properties‚ like thickness and biomechanics. The Goldmann Applanation Tonometer (GAT) remains the most common method and the gold standard for measuring IOP. (Clement et al.‚ 2016). Principle of GAT: The GAT depends on the Imbert-Fick principle‚ which states that the pressure inside a sphere

Theatre is not just about conveying the written text; rather that through the body‚ by trying to find a simple language of gestures and sounds‚ we can communicate at a much more powerful level; that there is a universal language for the theatre‚ regardless of cultural differences. There is a recognition that if you want ‘realistic drama’‚ television and cinema are far more effective than theatre. What is unique about theatre is its relationship to its audience: the fact that actor and audience

In the near future‚ I hope to collaborate with Dr. Han‚ Professor of Mechanical Engineering at UTSA‚ in the field of cardiovascular biomechanics and Dr. Appleford‚ Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering at UTSA‚ with his study in the bone cell interactions with biomaterials. Taken together‚ these aspects of the Biomedical Engineering program will ensure that I meet my professional

but that’s an enormous misconception. Mechanical engineers today are concerned with the design‚ development and manufacture of a variety of energy conversion and machine systems. Those systems include aerospace‚ automotive‚ marine‚ manufacturing‚ biomechanics‚ power generation‚ heating ventilation‚ air conditioning and robotics. They also work in emerging industries such as nanotechnology and particle technology. Mechanical engineers work with conventional fuel sources but they are increasingly developing

aspects of the deadlift The deadlift (DL) is a multi-joint resistance exercise that is performed in a variety of training settings. Deadlifting is also a very technical and posture based exercise‚ which could indicate that an understanding of biomechanics would assist in performing a successful lift. The movement includes extension of the knee and hip until the body reaches an upright standing position.

All running tests and experiments were conducted at the Sports Biomechanics Laboratory. All runners completed an informed consent prior to the study and volunteer to participate in the study. Runners with any kind of foot deformities and foot surgery in past year were excluded. Few of the athletes denied participating

individual with a disability. This paper provides a dialogue that outlines scientific issues of performance analysis of multi-level athletes with a disability‚ including Paralympians. Four integrated themes are explored the first of which focuses on how biomechanics can contribute to the understanding of sport performance in athletes with a disability and how it may be used as an evidence-based tool. This latter point questions the potential for a possible cultural shift led by emergence of user-friendly instruments
