AFM investigation of hyaline cartilage’s surface destruction
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Introduction: Osteoarthritis is a chronic, progressive disease. The aim of this paper is presenting the AFM investigation of cartilage in relation to the assessment of degenerative changes in the surface of hyaline cartilage. ... -
Assessment of the effectiveness of pressure ulcer care
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)The article deals with the external and internal factors influencing development of pressure ulcers and the effectiveness of their care. The patients were assessed according to their age, gender and changes in their ... -
Characteristic upper extremity kinematic parameters of healthy people during defined motions
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)One of most common ways to examine the quality of the patient’s upper extremity (UE) function is measuring the movement’s kinematic parameters during the motion. However, is it reliable to compare a patient’s UE motions ... -
Comparison of different microstructure scaffolds for tissue regeneration
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)In this work we aim to determine the mechanical properties of 3D printed PLA objects having various orientation woodpile microarchitectures. In this work we chose three different 3D microarchitectures: woodpile BCC (each ... -
Estimation of temporal gait parameters of multiple sclerosis patients in clinical setting using inertial sensors
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent neurological disease causing permanent disability in young adults. Subtle walking difficulties, such as reduced walking speed, step length, cadence and increased step width can ... -
Estimation of the parameters of barbell’ lifting law of motion
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Characteristic points of the law of motion were determined based on the results of experimental study on the velocities and accelerations of the lifted barbell. Relationship between the height of the athlete, lifted weight, ... -
Geometry and mechanical function of multijoint extremities from mammals to insects: towards biomimetic design of robotic arm
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Biomechanics of legs of different families of insects is studied. Geometry of different pairs of legs designed for walking, running, swimming, digging and other tasks has been measured on entomological collections. ... -
The influence of barbell’s weight, lifting technique and skills on weightlifter’s blood pressure and heart rate
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Article presents hodographs of the arterial blood pressure relation to heart-rate enabling to evaluate organism sensitivity of trained weightlifter to the magnitude of lifted weight, lifting technique and weight repeatability. ... -
Influence of dance therapy on the Parkinson’s disease affected upper limb biomechanics
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)In this paper we investigate influence of the dance (lindy hop) therapy on the Parkinson’s disease affected upper limb biomechanics. Wireless inertial sensors were used to measure acceleration and angular velocity during ... -
Peculiarities of the supervision of vascular catheters
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)The article analyses the supervision of vascular catheters, as well as the factors influencing the complications that occur. The method of observation was applied to assess the supervision of catheters, sample size target. ... -
Posturographic study of human body sway before and after a work day for diagnosis of tiredness
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Body sway measured by force platform is an excellent simple test for diagnostics of locomotory, balance, visual and neural disorders. In this study the body sway parameters have been measured on a group of healthy medical ... -

(2016)The Conference is focused on the issues of biomechanics, gait and locomotion, orthopaedics and traumatology, assistive technologies, rehabilitation, medical diagnostics, biosignals analysis, mathematical modelling. -
Relation between treatment duration and temperature factors in rheumatoid arthritis
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease which results in the loss of joint function and several deformities. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of duration of the disease and ... -
Stress analysis of osteoporotic femur
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Osteoporosis and degenerative diseases cause low bone mass that increases fracture risks. This study presents the modelling of osteoporotic femur by employing finite element method (FEM). The loading of femur using FEM ... -
The study of extraneous conditions that affect tilt-based pointer movements
(Proceedings of 11th International Conference BIOMDLORE 2016, 2016)Introduction: With the rapid evolution of mobile devices, there is also a tremendous growth in their applications. This triggers new research on more efficient techniques of human-computer interaction. To point at an object ...
