The authors measured cervical spine kinematics of patients before and after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery. From the Biodynamics Laboratory website: This NIH-funded prospective study aims to identify the factors that have the greatest effect on adjacent segment mechanics after cervical fusion. A total of 88 anterior cervical fusion patients will be tested prior to surgery, and 1 and...
This dataset contains slip-test data from 57 adult participants in a study examining the relationship between shoe outsole tread wear and occurrences of slipping. Participants wore their own shoes in a test environment where they encountered an unexpected slip condition, with data recorded by embedded force plates. Measurements include the shoe worn region size, available coefficient of friction (ACOF),...
This dataset measures the traction performance of five shoes subjected to mechanical wear in order to examine the reduced efficacy of slip-resistant shoes as they become worn. Key measurements include the coefficient of friction and under-shoe fluid pressures at baseline and after each worn iteration and the worn region size of each size; calculations include the peak fluid pressure and the fluid force....
