Abstract
Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) model of the upper airway gives a new insight on the pathologies of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, which takes the interaction between airflow and soft tissue around the upper airway into account. Realistic biomechanical parameters of the soft tissues around the upper airway are extremely important in FSI model to achieve biological simulation, which deviate from normal ranges in OSAHS patients. This review focuses on the latest advances in measurement of biomechanical parameters of the soft tissues in the human upper airway. Key words: Upper airway; Fluid-structure interaction; Soft tissue; Biomechanical parameter
