What is new in perceptual learning?

Michael Herzog, Aline Françoise Cretenoud, Lukasz Grzeczkowski

What is new in perceptual learning? In the early days of research, specificity was the hallmark of perceptual learning; that is, improvements following training were limited to the trained stimulus features. For example, training with a stimulus improves p ...

A framework for forward-dynamics simulation of the human shoulder

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Ehsan Sarshari

A vast majority of the available biomechanical models of the human shoulder has been developed based on inverse dynamics, e.g. [1,2]. This imposes a number of limitations on their application. For instance, the glenohumeral joint is approximated as an idea ...

Non-linear dynamics of compound sawteeth in tokamaks

Compound sawteeth is studied with the XTOR-2F code. Non-linear full 3D magnetohydrodynamic simulations show that the plasma hot core is radially displaced and rotates during the partial crash, but is not fully expelled out of the q = 1 surface. Partial cra ...

Geometric phases in discrete dynamical systems

Nicolas Piro Mastracchio

In order to study the behaviour of discrete dynamical systems under adiabatic cyclic variations of their parameters, we consider discrete versions of adiabatically-rotated rotators. Parallelling the studies in continuous systems, we generalize the concept ...

Impact of individual anatomy on the benefit of cup medialisation in total hip arthroplasty

Alexandre Terrier, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger, Valérie Parvex

Introduction: In total hip arthroplasty, cup medialisation with compensatory increase of femoral offset has been proposed to increase the moment arms of abductor muscles. However, this technique is associated with a loss of acetabular bone stock. Previous ...

Radiography appliance comprising a movable arm

Thomas Gabella

The invention relates to a radiography appliance comprising a column and a movable arm mounted such that it slides along the column and rotates about an axis oriented perpendicularly to the main direction of the column, one end of the arm comprising a dete ...

Comparison of an EMG-based and a stress-based method to predict shoulder muscle forces

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

The estimation of muscle forces in musculoskeletal shoulder models is still controversial. Two different methods are widely used to solve the indeterminacy of the system: electromyography (EMG)-based methods and stress-based methods. The goal of this work ...

Improving anterior deltoid activity in a musculoskeletal shoulder model – an analysis of the torque-feasible space at the sternoclavicular joint

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

Modelling the shoulder's musculature is challenging given its mechanical and geometric complexity. The use of the ideal fibre model to represent a muscle's line of action cannot always faithfully represent the mechanical effect of each muscle, leading to c ...

Effect of Patient Specific Parameters on Degenerative Shoulder Diseases

Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tears are two common and wide spread shoulder diseases leading to significant restrictions in the daily life of the affected. The pathogenesis is not fully understood yet. A chronic process triggered by multiple causes is as ...

Alteration and recovery of arm usage in daily activities following rotator cuff surgery

Kamiar Aminian, Alain Farron, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Cyntia Duc

Background: The objective measurement of dominant/nondominant arm use proportion in daily life may provide relevant information on healthy and pathologic armbehavior. This prospective case-control study explored the potential of such measurements as indica ...
