Experiments on a piece of synthetic felt [44] have demonstrated that geometry alone can account for such a behavior based on the generic non-linearity of individual fibers, stiff in extension, but soft in compression (bending/buckling).
Although this cannot totally prevent soft tissue compression, it is supposed to reduce the artefacts.
Generally, these are the results of soft tissue compression between a bony prominence and an external surface for a prolonged period of time [ 14].
We speculate that the presence of meniscal and ACL tears were initiated by soft tissue compression and accumulated strain energy in these tissues which would have otherwise been attenuated through intact underlying soft tissue and bone.
The distraction of the posterior column of the spine (at level of the spinous processes and interspinous ligaments) leads to widening of foraminal diameter and reduces soft tissue compression of the spinal canal by stretching of the ligamentum flavum [ 14, 16].
They found no differences between a chair and a Swiss-ball seating in muscle activation, spine posture, spine loads, or overall spine stability; instead, sitting on a ball appears to spread out the contact area resulting in an uncomfortable soft tissue compression causing discomfort [ 22].
Does the addition of cyclic pneumatic soft-tissue compression during the 6-week immobilisation period following fracture of the distal radius result in a faster recovery of muscle strength and joint range of motion?
While the golf ball market has shifted toward softer, low compression offerings, MyGolfSpy says this is a market test to see how consumers react to the AVX (which costs the same as the popular Pro-V and Pro-V1, by the way).
This is again extremely difficult in-vivo, due to soft-tissue compression and motion.
Excellent results were achieved for internal tibial rotation, almost reproducing current in-vitro studies, but too large anterior tibial translation was measured due to soft-tissue compression.
