Article Abstract

A modern motion analysis laboratory was installed by way of several scientific research instrumentation grants awarded to the Department of Applied Mechanics, BUTE. Motion and spine analysis is performed by a CMS-HS ultrasound-based system. System operation is based on ultrasound spread characteristics. In the area of spine analysis, it is possible to investigate the shape of the spine, its movement characteristics, mobility, and the movement characteristics of the cervical spine separately. The results of traditional spine tests are adequately supplemented by the results of the tests performed by this motion analysis system, considered to be a specialty throughout Europe. With the EMG (ElectroMyoGraph) sensors specify whether the muscles operate insufficiently or become active during the wrong motion, limiting the patient in motion.

Microgravity experiments on board the International Space Station, combined with particle-resolved direct numerical simulations, were conducted to investigate the long-term flocculation behavior of clay suspensions in saline water in the absence of gravity. After an initial homogenization of the suspensions, different clay compositions were continuously monitored for 99 days, allowing a detailed analysis of aggregate growth through image processing. The results indicate that the onboard oscillations (g-jitter) may have accelerated the aggregation process.

Background: While the plantar fat pad is known for its role in shock absorption and plantar force distribution during weight-bearing activities, its impact on running biomechanics is not well understood.

Research Question: Does plantar fat pad thickness affect lower limb biomechanics and plantar pressure distribution during running in healthy adults?

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study involved fourteen participants (18-50 years) who ran at their preferred speed on a 10-meter walkway while lower limb kinematics and ground reaction forces were recorded using a motion capture system. Plantar pressure and force on the right foot were measured using a pressure platform.

Sexual pleasure in older age: haptic visuality and female eroticism in three contemporary Spanish films.

This article explores the representation of female sexuality in later life through the lens of three contemporary Spanish films: La vida era eso (2020), Destello bravío (2021), and Mamacruz (2023). Drawing from feminist aging studies, film theory, and concepts such as haptic visuality and clitoral sexuality, the study challenges the patriarchal, ageist, and phallocentric narratives that have long shaped cultural understandings of older women's erotic lives. Through close readings of these films, the article demonstrates how they subvert the dominant heteronormative gaze by foregrounding sensory pleasure, autoeroticism, and the reawakening of desire in older women.

Tool use is a complex motor planning problem. Prior research suggests that planning to use tools involves resolving competition between different tool-related action representations. We therefore reasoned that competition may also be exacerbated with tools for which the motions of the tool and the hand are incongruent (e.
