Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapu ...
By improving spatial and anatomical specificity, localized spectroscopy can enhance the power and accuracy of the quantitative analysis of cellular metabolism and bioenergetics. Localized and nonlocalized dynamic 31P magnetic resonance spectroscopy using a ...
This study proposed a new metric to assess the arm mobility based on the monitoring of daily activity using inertial sensors. Forty-one healthy participants and 21 patients suffering from rotator cuff tear disease were evaluated using a clinical questionna ...
In ski jumping, take-off (TO) is considered as the most important phase. While spatio-temporal features have been identified during this phase, inter-segment coordination has never been investigated. This study proposed a new method using body worn inertia ...
Robustness to perturbation has been advocated as a key element to robot control and efforts in that direction are numerous. While in essence these approaches aim at "endowing robots with a flexibility similar to that displayed by humans", few have actually ...
This study demonstrates that collagen, the most abundant protein in animals, exists as a distribution of nanoscale morphologies in teeth, hones, and tendons. This fundamental characteristic of Type I collagen has not previously been reported and provides a ...
Spring-like leg behavior was found in the global dynamics of human and animal running in sagittal plane. The corresponding template model, the conservative spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP), shows stability for a large range of speeds and is, therefor ...
Computer-based simulations of human hip joints generally include investigating contacts happening among soft or hard tissues during hip movement. In many cases, hip movement is approximated as rotation about an estimated hip center. In this paper, we inves ...
We introduce a new method for computerized real-time evaluation of femoroacetabular impingement (FM). In contrast to previously presented stress analyses, this method is based on two types of predictions of penetration depths for two rotating bodies: curvi ...
The representation of the body in the brain is continuously updated with regard to peripheral factors such as position or movement of body parts. In the present study, we investigated the effects of arm posture on the mental rotation of hands and feet. Six ...
