Overall, this study is a promising first step in showing that ultrasound, when paired with our bone-tracking algorithm, can enhance assessments of laxity for both clinical and research applications. Please RT and DM if you have any questions or would like to discuss further! 6/6

We determined root-mean-square errors were between 0.6 and 2.2 mm of anterior-posterior translation, and 0.4° and 1.3° of varus-valgus rotation. Additionally, we determined that users should position the transducer over anatomical landmarks to obtain repeatable measurements. 5/6

.@MB_Blomquist has a ton of cool data for a paper he's working on. Apparently, I've grown quite fond of putting data into supplements...

In a joint study between @UW_NMBL and the @Harvard Biodesign Lab, we used shear wave tensiometry to directly measure Achilles tendon force changes during load carriage and #exosuit assistance. @SciRobotics https://t.co/FU68aEGmKC

Job(s) alert! I'm recruiting 2 PhD students to join my lab @udbme starting Fall 2023. Projects include imaging, robotic testing, wearables, and postnatal growth studies. Find me at #BMES2022 or via email to learn more! @IntWomenBiomech @BlackBiomechs @ors_tendon @asmebedstudents

[Joshua D Roth @JDRothPhD]

.@ArantLesley and @MB_Blomquist crushed their first podiums today at @ISTA_meeting 2022!!

They shared @UW_BAMLab's latest on tensiometry development and evaluation. #proudmentor!!

If you missed their talks, then send them a message!

So excited to share I’m joining the Delaware Biomedical Engineering department @udbme as an assistant professor starting Jan 2023! My lab will study tendon & ligament biomechanics in the vibrant @UDengineering community - MANY thanks to everyone who’s supported me on this path!!

[Matthew Blomquist @MB_Blomquist]

Overall, we found that shear wave tensiometry should help surgeons reduce the risk of overly tight ligaments that are associated with poor outcomes (e.g., knee pain and stiffness). We are excited to continue developing shear wave tensiometry and expanding to more applications!

[Matthew Blomquist @MB_Blomquist]

Excited to share my first research paper, “Shear wave tensiometry tracks reductions in collateral ligament tension due to incremental releases” @JOrthopRes @UW_BAMLab @UWMadison_BME @wiscorthopedics @BlankJonathon @dgschmitz17 @UW_NMBL @JDRothPhD

[Matthew Blomquist @MB_Blomquist]

Similar to intact ligaments, we found that ligaments subjected to incremental releases demonstrated linear relationships between shear wave speed squared and tension. Additionally, we determined that we can predict tension to within 14.2 N (5.7% of the maximum load)!
