The present invention relates to an article of orthopedic footwear comprising a sole. The sole comprises an outsole, an insole comprising a support layer for supporting the foot of a user, the support layer possibly comprising a rigid plate and having a lo ...
Sterilization is a prerequisite for biomedical devices before contacting the human body. It guarantees the lack of infection by eliminating microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, spores and fungi). It constitutes the last fabrication process of a biomedical devic ...
IntroductionThis study assessed the bone cuts accuracy of a robotic-assisted system for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that was recently upgraded.Materials and methodsThree orthopaedic surgeons planned and executed TKA on 24 sawbones. Bone cut accuracy was ...
Background Turning during walking and volitionally modulating walking speed introduces complexity to gait and has been minimally explored.Research question How do the spatiotemporal parameters vary between young adults walking at a normal speed and a slowe ...
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of bone cuts and implant placements, simultaneously, for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) performed using a system with an active robotic arm. Methods: Two experienced orthopaedic surgeons performed TKA on ...
PurposeTo characterize the intra- and inter-operator reliability of a CT-based 3D preoperative planning software.Materials and methodsThis study analyzed 30 CT scans of de-identified knees with osteoarthritis. For each scan, a case planner segmented the bo ...
Background: The need to improve spinal motor behaviour in chronic low back pain (CLBP) rehabilitation remains unclear. The objective of this study was to test if changes in spinal motor behaviour were associated with changes in disability after an interdis ...
Using insoles to modify walking biomechanics is of keen interest for the treatment of medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis. So far, insole interventions have focused on reducing the peak of the knee adduction moment (pKAM) and have led to inconsistent cl ...
