The detection of the upper boundary of breasts using 4D scanning technology. J Pei, L Griffin, SP Ashdown, J Fan.

One of the first studies that investigates the vertical displacement and the shape deformation of breasts during running using 4D scanning technology. Ultimately, the method and results can increase the understanding of breast kinematics, and benefit the product design of bras, especially for sports bras, and other products for women that require a close fit to the torso.

xEMU Lower Torso Assembly (LTA) Brief Fleet Sizing Study. K Davis, R Rhodes, KH Kim, E Benson, Y Hernandez, L Vu, S Rajulu.

The Exploration Extravehicular Mobility Unit (xEMU) project is tasked with building a spacesuit for the lunar 2024 missions. These missions will require a mobile Lower Torso Assembly (LTA) to fit the required range of astronauts’ anthropometry with optimal mobility.

Simulation of tissue-prosthesis margin interface by using surface scanning and digital design for auricular prostheses. L McHutchion, D Aalto.

Date: April 2020 (Online). Source: The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry. Presented at seventh Biennial Congress of the Advanced Digital Technology in Head and Neck Reconstruction Foundation in Tokyo, Japan (June 22, 2019). Statement of problem: One of the most challenging aspects of auricular prosthesis design and fabrication is ensuring that the prosthesis fits the patient…

Lumbar posture assessment with fabric strain sensors. LQ Vu, KH Kim, LJH Schulze, SL Rajulu.

Date: March 2020. Source: Computers in Biology and Medicine, Volume 118, 103624. Abstract: Astronauts are at risk for low back pain and injury during extravehicular activity because of the deconditioning of the lumbar region and biomechanical demands associated with wearing a spacesuit. To understand and mitigate injury risks, it is necessary to study the lumbar…

Collagen 2A Type B Induction after 3D Bioprinting Chondrocytes In Situ into Osteoarthritic Chondral Tibial Lesion. B Gatenholm, C Lindahl, M Brittberg, S Simonsson.

Date: February 2020. Source: CARTILAGE. https://doi.org/10.1177/1947603520903788 Objective: Large cartilage defects and osteoarthritis (OA) cause cartilage loss and remain a therapeutic challenge. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting with autologous cells using a computer-aided design (CAD) model generated from 3D imaging has the potential to reconstruct patient-specific features that match an articular joint lesion. Design: To scan a human…

The normal evolution of the cranium in three dimensions. JW Meulstee, GA de Jong, WA Borstlap, et al.

Date: November 2019 (Online). Source: International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Abstract: Insight into the growth and development of the normal newborn cranial shape is essential to monitor cranial development, to detect and diagnose abnormal skull shapes, and for the long-term follow-up of craniosynostosis surgery. The aim of this study was to analyse the…

Measurement of the Internal Shape of Power Grip in Wrist Ulnar/Radial Deviation. H Jung, S Mun, W Lee, H You.

Date: November 2019. Source: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 63(1), 1149–1153. https://doi.org/10.1177/1071181319631527. Abstract: The present study proposes a method for measurement of the internal shape of power grip using casting and 3D scanning method. Three handle design dimensions and twelve handle design related hand dimensions were defined by referring hand…
