Neuroprosthetic system to restore locomotion after neuromotor disorder

Neuromodulation of spinal sensorimotor circuits improves motor control in animal models and humans with Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and Parkinson disease. Stimulation parameters are tuned manually and remain constant during motor execution which is suboptimal ...

Fiber distribution in a 3D FEM Model of the Supraspinatus Tendon

Romy Alexandra Hasler

The supraspinatus tendon is often involved in rotator cu↵ tears. The pathogenesis of such tears is not well known and can be multicausal (mechanical, inflammatory, ...). The idea of this project was to analyse the mechanical contribution to rotator cuff te ...

A robotic platform for lower limb optical motion tracking in open space

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jeremy Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Characterization of gait is largely used for research on locomotion or for clinical improvement and follow up. There exists two main technologies for measurement of the kinematics of walking: IMU systems and optical tracking. Inertial measurement units are ...

Geriatric rehabilitation after hip fracture Role of body-fixed sensor measurements of physical activity

Kamiar Aminian

The demand for geriatric rehabilitation will drastically increase over the next years. It will be increasingly important to demonstrate the efficacy and effectiveness of geriatric rehabilitation. One component is the use of objective and valid assessment p ...

Mechanisms for actuated assistive hip orthoses

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jeremy Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Mobility is often a central problem for people having muscle weaknesses. The need for new devices to assist walking and walk related activities is therefore growing. Lower limb actuated orthoses have already proven their positive impact with paraplegic pat ...

Characterization of lower-limbs inter-segment coordination during the take-off extension in ski jumping

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

Take-off, the most important phase in ski jumping, has been primarily studied in terms of spatio-temporal parameters, with little known about its motor control aspects. This study aims to assess the inter-segment coordination of the shank-thigh and thigh-s ...

The effect of limb crossing and limb congruency on multisensory integration in peripersonal space for the upper and lower extremities

Olaf Blanke, Michiel van Elk, Joachim Jean-Marie Forget

The present study investigated how multisensory integration in peripersonal space is modulated by limb posture (i.e. whether the limbs are crossed or uncrossed) and limb congruency (i.e. whether the observed body part matches the actual position of one's l ...

Accurate Measurement of Concurrent Flexion-Extension and Internal-External Rotations in Smart Knee Prostheses

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Axelle Vallet

In this work, we present a magnetic measurement system for integration into smart knee prostheses to accurately measure the combination of two knee rotations; namely Flexion- Extension and Internal-External rotations. This measurement system consists of tw ...

Singularity Free Parametrization of Human Limbs

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla

In this paper we propose the Middle-Axis-Rotation (MAR) parametrization of human limbs that addresses the ill-conditioned cases of analytical Inverse Kinematics (IK) algorithms. The MAR parametrization is singularity-free in the reach space of the human li ...

Design of a Wearable Perturbator for Human Knee Impedance Estimation during Gait

Roger Gassert, Olivier Lambercy

Mechanical impedance modulation is the key to natural, stable and efficient human locomotion. An improved understanding of this mechanism is necessary for the development of the next generation of intelligent prosthetic and orthotic devices. This paper doc ...
