Evaluation of time-frequency features as detectors of lack of balance due to tripping-like perturbations

Unbalancing events during gait can end up in falls and, thus, injury. Detecting events that could bring to fall and consequently activating fall prevention systems before the impact may help to mitigate related injuries. However, there is uncertainty about ...

Pre-impact detection algorithm to identify lack of balance due to tripping-like perturbations

Silvestro Micera

This study investigates the performance of an updated version of our pre-impact detection algorithm while parsing out hip kinematics in order to identify unexpected tripping-like perturbations during walking. This approach grounds on the hypothesis that du ...

Inconsistent relationship between body weight/body mass index prior to total knee arthroplasty and the 12-year survival

Background: The primary hypothesis was that body weight (BW) and body mass index (BMI) significantly impact the long-term survival rate after implantation of a mobile bearing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Methods: A national, multicentric, retrospective s ...

Haptic Error Modulation Outperforms Visual Error Amplification When Learning a Modified Gait Pattern

Robotic algorithms that augment movement errors have been proposed as promising training strategies to enhance motor learning and neurorehabilitation. However, most research effort has focused on rehabilitation of upper limbs, probably because large moveme ...

Residual hip dysplasia in children: osseous and cartilaginous acetabular angles to guide further treatment-a pilot study

Katarzyna Pierzchala

Purpose In case of residual hip dysplasia (RHD) in children, pelvic radiographs are sometimes insufficient to precisely evaluate the entire coverage of the femoral head, when trying to decide on the need for further reconstructive procedures. Methods This ...

Effect of powder characteristics and oxygen content on modifications to the microstructural topology during hot isostatic pressing of an austenitic steel

Cyril Cayron

The effect of powder size distribution and oxygen content on the extent of multiple twinning and spatial distribution of oxide inclusions in hot isostatic pressed (HIPed) 316L steels was investigated using powders with different characteristics. Modificati ...

Patellar bone strain after total knee arthroplasty is correlated with bone mineral density and body mass index

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Elham Taghizadeh, Philippe Büchler

Patella-related complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain a major clinical concern. Previous studies have suggested that increased postoperative patellar bone strain could be related to such complications, but there is limited knowledge on p ...

Efficient decellularization of equine tendon with preserved biomechanical properties and cytocompatibility for human tendon surgery indications

Dominique Pioletti, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Jens Antons, Cédric Peneveyre, Anthony Grognuz, Pierre-Arnaud Aeberhard

Chronic and acute tendon injuries are frequent afflictions, for which treatment is often long and unsatisfactory. When facing extended injuries, matrices and scaffolds with sufficient biomechanical properties are required for surgical repair and could addi ...

Biomechanical effects of passive hip springs during walking

Passive spring-like structures can store and return energy during cyclic movements and thereby reduce the energetic cost of locomotion. That makes them important components of the human body and wearable assistive devices alike. This study investigates how ...

Triple Contrast CT Method Enables Simultaneous Evaluation of Articular Cartilage Composition and Segmentation

Goran Lovric

Early degenerative changes of articular cartilage are detected using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) with a cationic contrast agent (CA). However, cationic CA diffusion into degenerated cartilage decreases with proteoglycan depletion and increas ...
