Hypothesis: Total shoulder arthroplasty is an efficient treatment to osteoarthritis but has a relatively high failure rate. One of the main causes were found to be glenoid loosening associated with off-center loadings. An implant with an overcorrected desi ...
Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...
Ligament balancing in total knee arthroplasty may have an important influence on joint stability and prosthesis lifetime. In order to provide quantitative information and assistance during ligament balancing, a device that intraoperatively measures knee jo ...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of modifying stride length (SL) on knee adduction and flexion moments, two markers of knee loading associated with medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression. This study also tested if SL ...
Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...
In one embodiment, the exoskeleton structure is fastened to the body of the user by a brace and at the foot level. The exoskeleton includes at least one set of three joints corresponding to the hip abduction/adduction, the hip flexion/extension and the kne ...
Background: Although the importance of accurate femoral reconstruction to achieve a good functional outcome is well documented, quantitative data on the effects of a displacement of the femoral center of rotation on moment arms are scarce. The purpose of t ...
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease characterized by damage of the cartilage. A solution to this problem is total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is still complication after total knee arthroplasty with patella resurfacing. In fact, most patel ...
Collision detection among virtual objects is one of the main concerns in virtual reality and computer graphics. Usually the methods developed for collision detection are for either very general cases or very specific applications. The first main goal of th ...
The aim of this study was to develop an ambulatory system for the three-dimensional (3D) knee kinematics evaluation, which can be used outside a laboratory during long-term monitoring. In order to show the efficacy of this ambulatory system, knee function ...
