How do local muscles recover after exercise? What changes have occurred in the organizational state before and after rehabilitation intervention? For doctors, therapists, and researchers, these questions require a combination of information such as symptoms, structural imaging, functional testing, and more.   The muscle mechanics atlas adds a local tissue level observation dimension to the evaluation.It utilizes non-invasive measurement and mechanical analysis to present the mechanical characteristics of muscles at different positions, and provides a method for tracking the changes of these characteristics over time.   A cutting-edge review co authored by Professor Cao Yanping's team from the Institute of Biomechanics at Tsinghua University and researchers from Beijing Xijian Technology Co., LtdMechanics map of living muscles: Emerging technologies and clini...

Recently, a team from the Rehabilitation Medicine Department of Xiyuan Hospital, Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, published an article in the Journal of Visualization Experimental MethodologyJournal of Visualized Experiments(JoVE, Medline/SCI) published a standardized protocol paper that systematically demonstrated the complete process of ultrasound-guided needle knife layered release combined with portable shear wave elastography (pSWE) and digital palpation technology for the evaluation and intervention of trapezius myofascial pain syndrome (MPS).   The study provides a reproducible methodological reference for the diagnosis, treatment, and efficacy evaluation of MPS by quantitatively tracking mechanical related indicators such as equivalent shear modulus (G-value) throughout the entire cycle in both resting and passive stretchin...

Knee pain is one of the most common and difficult problems to "explain" in sports medicine clinics and rehabilitation departments. The patient complained of pain when going up and down stairs, sitting for long periods of time, and squatting; Doctors rely on physical examinations, scales, and imaging to make judgments. In the past, when faced with anterior knee pain, clinical and scientific research relied heavily on itscale(Overall Symptoms and Function) andImage(Bone and cartilage structure) to evaluate——Long term lack of rapid, non-invasive, objective, and reproducible quantitative methods for the mechanical state of individual muscles, especially for the presence of mechanical imbalances within muscle groups.A seemingly simple but difficult question to answer isIs there an imbalance within the muscle group? How serious is the imbalance?   Recently,Team ...

Cardiovascular disease is one of the major health burdens worldwide.Biomechanical indicators of arteries, including intramural stress, axial/circumferential stiffness and local blood pressure, are not only the physiological basis for maintaining normal hemodynamics, but also important mechanical clues for the occurrence and progress of hypertension, atherosclerosis, heart failure, stroke and other diseases. These indicators are highly dynamically coupled in time and space and exhibit significant anisotropy,However, existing in vivo measurement methods are mostly limited to a single indicator or rely on multiple measurements at different times/locations and population statistical assumptions, making it difficult to achieve local, synchronous, and individualized mechanical characterization.
