Micro- and nanostructure specific X-ray tomography reveals less matrix formation and altered collagen organization following re duce d loading during Achilles tendon healing
Recovery of the collagen structure following Achilles tendon rupture is poor, resulting in a high risk for re-ruptures. The loading environment during healing affects the mechanical properties of the tendon, but the relation between loading regime and heal ...
London2023Novel Design and Implementation of a Neuromuscular Controller on a Hip Exoskeleton for Partial Gait Assistance
Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Ali Reza Manzoori, Andrea Di Russo, Sara Messara
Exoskeletons intended for partial assistance of walking should be able to follow the gait pattern of their users, via online adaptive control strategies rather than imposing predefined kinetic or kinematic profiles. NeuroMuscular Controllers (NMCs) are ada ...
2023Aging and matrix viscoelasticity affect multiscale tendon properties and tendon derived cell behavior
Aging is the largest risk factor for Achilles tendon associated disorders and rupture. Although Achilles tendon macroscale elastic properties are suggested to decline with aging, less is known about the effect of maturity and aging on multiscale viscoelast ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2022Biomechanical 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 ...
2019Design of a measuring device for Mallet Finger treatment
A mallet finger is an injury that affects the extensor tendon at the Distal interphalangeal joint (DIP). It results from a hyperflexion of the said tendon which can result in a stretching or tearing of the tendon or an avulsion of the tendon’s insertion on ...
2017The Myosuit: Bi-articular Anti-gravity Exosuit That Reduces Hip Extensor Activity in Sitting Transfers
Muscle weakness—which can result from neurological injuries, genetic disorders, or typical aging—can affect a person's mobility and quality of life. For many people with muscle weakness, assistive devices provide the means to regain mobility and independen ...
2017Effects 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 ...
Elsevier2017Stability enhancement using hyaluronic acid gels for delivery of human fetal progenitor tenocytes
Dominique Pioletti, Alain Farron, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Anthony Grognuz
Tendon afflictions are very common, and their negative impact is high both at the workplace and in leisure activities. Tendinopathies are increasing in prevalence and can lead to tendon ruptures, where healing is a long process with outcomes that are often ...
2016Effect of Patient Specific Parameters on Degenerative Shoulder Diseases
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 ...
EPFL2015MOVING ALONG In biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, and movement analysis, Italian researchers are making great strides
In Italy, biomechanics research and the analysis of human and animal movement have had a very long history, beginning with the exceptional pioneering work of Leonardo da Vinci. In 1489, da Vinci began investigating human anatomy, including an examination o ...
