Transport the plumb line on the IV pole with its hand position marked, the force plate paper with force plate center and foot positions marked and the subject to the X-ray facilities at the Spine Institute of the Orthopaedic Department at Doctors Hospital (about 2 blocks away from the Biomechanics Laboratory) with all of the LEDs in place. Have the subject stand in the second position, with arms out of the path of the X-ray in the sagittal plane view. Align the subject as closely to the true sagittal plane as possible by viewing along the sight of the X-ray beam and noting the position of the shoulders and patellas as in the plane of the... 

Biomechanics laboratories are important sites where rehabilitation engineers, rehabilitation professionals, and representatives of the medical device industry can work together. In these laboratories, new products and techniques pass through all phases of research and development and eventually reach the patient. Rehabilitation engineers engage in a lengthy process before individuals can be helped. Through clinical experience and research, rehabilitation professionals (and sometimes patients) identify a specific rehabilitation problem. Researchers develop a possible solution, which may... 

In our own Biomechanical Laboratories here where we have apparatus for the testing of wear second to none in the world, and we have shown that gamma radiation up to lOMrad does not increase the rate of wear of high density polyethylene. There are some slight changes in colour from white to slightly cream colour but absolutely no alteration in the rate of wear. This amount of radiation is four times the medical sterilisation dose.

Kondo et al. [4] reported a unique laboratory study to verify biomechanical effects of this ACL reconstruction procedure. Namely, they arthroscopically performed this anatomic double-bundle reconstruction procedure and the conventional single-bundle reconstruction procedure with cadaver knees and biomechan-ically compared the knee stability among the two procedures and the normal knee, under the following loading conditions 90-N anterior tibial force, 5-Nm internal and external tibial torques, and a simulated pivot-shift test. In the results, there were significant reductions of anterior laxity of 3.5 mm and internal rotational laxity of... 

Introduction. Laboratory work by our group has indicated that an anterior cage placed in the L5-S1 disc space can potentially relieve a significant amount of stress on posterior instruments used to preload the cages and stabilize the MSU. Three types of studies have been aimed at evaluating the problems associated with L5-S1 biomechanics.

Biomechanical behavior of spine can be achieved through experimental study such as in vitro and vivo study or numerical methods such as finite element analyses [1,2], Although experimental studies are the most straight method for biomechanical behavior, they have some limitations which restricted their applications [3]. In vitro studies performed in the laboratory restricted by specimen availability, differences between specimens and range of samples [4], In vivo studies provide data from natural situation. However, preparing human specimens is difficult also in animals case studies anatomical differences caused...
