Evaluation and robotic simulation of the glenohumeral joint

The shoulder is the joint with the largest range of motion in the human body. It is composed of three articulations, the glenohumeral articulation providing about two thirds of its mobility which is, also the most complex and fragile of the three. For this ...

Electromagnetic and mechanical analyses of the ITER electron cyclotron Upper launcher steering M4 mirrors for the vertical displacement event

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

The mm-wave power exiting the eight In-Vessel waveguides inside the ITER Electron Cyclotron Upper Launcher is reflected by three fixed mirror sets and finally aimed by two independent steering mirrors to specific plasma locations. A design solution for bot ...

One the effect of the Vertical Axis Alignment on Cybersickness and Game Experience in Supine Posture

Ronan Boulic, Nana Tian, Louis Philippe Simoes Lopes

Cybersickness is still an inevitable adverse effect when using VR systems, resulting in different levels of discomfort, and potentially breaking the immersive experience. To date, few studies have focused on exploring VR experience in the supine posture. R ...

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 ...

A computer vision system for deep learning-based detection of patient mobilization activities in the ICU

Alexandre Massoud Alahi

Early and frequent patient mobilization substantially mitigates risk for post-intensive care syndrome and long-term functional impairment. We developed and tested computer vision algorithms to detect patient mobilization activities occurring in an adult IC ...

A Closed-Loop EMG-Assisted Shoulder Model

Ehsan Sarshari

The human shoulder is a complex musculoskeletal system. Knowledge about its kinematics and dynamics can help improve associated treatments. However, to date direct measurements of these quantities can be only granted through invasive investigations or expe ...

A statistical shape model to predict the premorbid glenoid cavity

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Steve Michel Berger, Daniel Abler, Philippe Büchler

Background: This study proposes a method for inferring the premorbid glenoid shape and orientation of scapulae affected by glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) to inform restorative surgery. Methods: A statistical shape model (SSM) built from 64 healthy scapul ...

Create a Finite Element model of experiment involving cadaveric scapulae

Raphaëlle Peyraud

Hypothesis: Nowadays, the number of people suffering from shoulder osteoarthritis increases as the population is ageing. An end-stage treatment is the total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), but it still suffers from a high failure rate in comparison to other j ...

Effects of glenoid inclination and acromion index on humeral head translation and glenoid articular cartilage strain

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Previous clinical studies have reported associations between glenoid inclination (GI), the acromion index (AI), and the critical shoulder angle (CSA) on the one hand and the occurrence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and supraspinatus tendon tears on the ot ...
