A neuromotor model of handwritten stroke generation, in which stroke velocities are expressed as a Fourier-style decomposition of oscillatory neural activities, is presented. The neural network architecture consists of an input or stroke-selection layer, a ...
A force-sensing device to intraoperatively measure knee joint forces and moments to improve the ligament balancing procedure during total knee arthroplasty has been developed. It consists of two sensitive plates, one for each condyle, a tibial base plate a ...
Background. Intra-articular techniques (single and double bundles) are the most widely used procedures for the anterior cruciate lig- ament reconstruction. Lemaire introduced in 1967 the extra-articular techniques, and combined intra-articular and extra-ar ...
Injuries to the meniscus are often treated by partial or total meniscectomy, which is known to be associated with detrimental changes in joint function, ultimately increasing the risk of early degenerative joint diseases. Surgical approaches currently in u ...
Biological control over coral skeletal composition is poorly understood but critically important to paleoenvironmental reconstructions. We present microanalytical measurements of trace-element abundances as well as oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions o ...
Real-time acquisition of electromyography (EMG) during functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides a novel method of controlling motor experiments in the scanner using feedback of EMG. Due to the redundancy in the human muscle system this is not ...
Nowadays, the large majority of the instrumentation for orthopaedic surgery consists of mechanical tools with varying degrees of complexity. To increase the accuracy and the safety of orthopaedic interventions, sensors and computers were recently introduce ...
Recent micro-analytical studies of coral skeletons have led to the discovery that the effects of biology on the skeletal chemical and isotopic composition are not uniform over the skeleton. The aim of the present work was to provide histological observatio ...
Neural plasticity represents a crucial mechanism of the human brain to adapt to environmental changes in the developing and adult human central nervous system. This property of the central nervous system contributes to learning and functional recovery from ...
Component loosening and instability are common causes of dysfunction after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and it is generally assumed that such complications are due to tibio-femoral misalignment or ligamentous imbalance. During the surgery, the ligamentous ...
