Can lateral tenodesis improve the rotational stability of the ACL reconstruction? A finite element analysis
One of the most common knee injuries is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture with severe implications on knee stability. The usual treatment is the ACL Reconstruction (ACLR) surgery where the surgeon replaces the torn ligament with a graft in an ef ...
Public Library Science2024Surgical approaches to the capitellum: a comparative anatomic study
Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair
Background: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the humeral capitellum is an important cause of elbow disability in young athletes. Large and unstable lesions sometimes require joint reconstruction with osteochondral autograft. Several approaches have been ...
Mosby-Elsevier2024Intelligent plantar pressure offloading for the prevention of diabetic foot ulcers and amputations
Yves Perriard, Yoan René Cyrille Civet, Christian Köchli, Sofia Lydia Ntella, Kenny Jeanmonod, Bhawnath Tiwari
The high prevalence of lower extremity ulceration and amputation in people with diabetes is strongly linked to difficulties in achieving and maintaining a reduction of high plantar pressures (PPs) which remains an important risk factor. The effectiveness o ...
2023Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making
Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin
Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Foot-Interfaces Control and Human-Robot Interaction in Four-Handed Manipulation
Humans have a great capacity to perform complex manipulations. However, there are many tasks for which two hands are not enough, such as in surgery. For such tasks, a dyad of people is required. However, when not used to work together, a dyad collaboration ...
EPFL2022Uncontrolled manifold analysis of the effects of a perturbation-based training on the organization of leg joint variance in cerebellar ataxia
Walking patterns of persons affected by cerebellar ataxia (CA) are characterized by wide stride-to-stride variability ascribable to: the background pathology-related sensory-motor noise; the motor redundancy, i.e., an excess of elemental degrees of freedom ...
SPRINGER2020Neuromuscular Controller Embedded in a Powered Ankle Exoskeleton: Effects on Gait, Clinical Features and Subjective Perspective of Incomplete Spinal Cord Injured Subjects
Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini
Powered exoskeletons are among the emerging technologies claiming to assist functional ambulation. The potential to adapt robotic assistance based on specific motor abilities of incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) subjects, is crucial to optimize Human-Ro ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Intrinsic fracture behavior of Mg-Y alloys
William Curtin, Eleanor Yi Kei Mak
Pure magnesium (Mg) is an attractive metal for structural applications due to its low density, but also has low ductility and low fracture toughness. Dilute alloying of Mg with rare earth elements in small amounts improves the ductility, but the effects of ...
2020Changes in lower limb biomechanics when following floor-projected foot placement visual cues for gait rehabilitation
Background: Lately, the projection of foot placement visual cues onto the floor has been considered for use in gait rehabilitation. While promising, this approach needs further basic assessment to ensure proper uses. Research question: Does following floor ...
ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD2020Towards a Passive Adaptive Planar Foot with Ground Orientation and Contact Force Sensing for Legged Robots
Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Marco Hutter, Klajd Lika
Adapting to the ground enables stable footholds in legged locomotion by exploiting the structure of the terrain. On that account, we present a passive adaptive planar foot with three rotational degrees of freedom that is lightweight and thus suited for hig ...
