Spinal Motion Segments — I: Concept for a Subject-specific Analogue Model (2020)
Journal Article
Franceskides, C., Arnold, E., Horsfall, I., Tozzi, G., Gibson, M. C., & Zioupos, P. (2020). Spinal Motion Segments — I: Concept for a Subject-specific Analogue Model. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 17(4), 747-756. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42235-020-0060-1

Most commercial spine analogues are not intended for biomechanical testing, and those developed for this purpose are expensive and yet still fail to replicate the mechanical performance of biological specimens. Patient-specific analogues that address... Read More about Spinal Motion Segments — I: Concept for a Subject-specific Analogue Model.

Spinal Motion Segments — II: Tuning and Optimisation for Biofidelic Performance (2020)
Journal Article
Franceskides, C., Arnold, E., Horsfall, I., Tozzi, G., Gibson, M. C., & Zioupos, P. (2020). Spinal Motion Segments — II: Tuning and Optimisation for Biofidelic Performance. Journal of Bionic Engineering, 17(4), 757-766. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42235-020-0061-0

Most commercially available spine analogues are not intended for biomechanical testing, and the few that are suitable for using in conjunction with implants and devices to allow a hands-on practice on operative procedures are very expensive and still...

Age-Related Trends in the Trabecular Micro-Architecture of the Medial Clavicle: Is It of Use in Forensic Science? (2020)
Journal Article
McGivern, H., Greenwood, C., Márquez-Grant, N., Kranioti, E. F., Xhemali, B., & Zioupos, P. (2020). Age-Related Trends in the Trabecular Micro-Architecture of the Medial Clavicle: Is It of Use in Forensic Science?. Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 7, Article 467. https://doi.org/10.3389/fbioe.2019.00467

The mechanical and structural properties of bone are known to change significantly with age. Within forensic and archaeological investigations, the medial end of the clavicle is typically used for estimating the age-at-death of an unknown individual....
