Cartilage Dysfunction in ALS Patients as Side Effect of Motion Loss: 3D Mechano-Electrochemical Computational Model
Figure 3
Schematic representation of the transient free swelling problem in Frijns et al. [33]. (a) A sample of cartilage of 0.5 mm thickness and 1.5 mm diameter is immersed in a NaCl solution with an initial concentration of 0.15 M. The sample is confined in an impermeable chamber. (b) Boundary conditions of the cartilage sample applied in our computational simulations.
