In fascioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) and many other neuromuscular disorders there is a need for biomarkers to diagnose, quantify and longitudinally follow muscle disease. Furthermore, the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to muscle weakness in most neuromuscular disorders are not completely understood. Speckle tracking allows to quantify muscle deformation. This dynamic information...
Summary In this chapter various aspects of cemented stem designs such as shape, surface roughness and material properties are discussed. An attempt is made to provide some guidelines of design features, or combinations of them, that are known to lead to early failure. A design philosophy can be regarded as a good (or optimal) combination of design features. It will be shown that various design philosophies...
Muscle contraction is characterized by large deformation and translation, which requires a multi-dimensional imaging modality to reveal its behavior. Previous work on ultrasound strain imaging of the muscle contraction was limited to 2D and bi-plane techniques. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound strain imaging technique was tested against 2D strain imaging and used for quantifying...
