A Ball-Screw Driven Motorized Hip Orthosis

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

In this paper we present a motorized hip orthosis to assist elderly people while walking, stair climbing and during the sit-to-stand transitions. The design is based on biomechanics considerations. Ranges of motion, velocities and torques of the hip joint ...

In this work, we studied a combination of embedded magnetic measurement system in a knee prosthesis and wearable inertial sensors to estimate two knee joint rotations namely flexion-extension and internal-external rotations. The near optimal sensor configu ...

A Novel Approach to Reducing Number of Sensing Units for Wearable Gait Analysis Systems

Kamiar Aminian, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Salarian

Gait analysis methods to estimate spatiotemporal measures, based on two, three or four gyroscopes attached on lower limbs have been discussed in the literature. The most common approach to reduce the number of sensing units is to simplify the underlying bi ...

Remote Powering and Wireless Communication of a Smart Knee Prosthesis

Oguz Atasoy

With the advance in microelectronics and microsystems, better instruments in every domain are designed and built. For many years, scientists have tried to understand nature, and engineers to mimic the perfect design. One example of this is the human knee, ...

Simulation of total ankle replacement using numerical modeling

Sara Molins Cabaní

The ankle is a complex joint of the human body which is most often affected by trauma. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that can require surgical intervention and when it affects the ankle there are two options to achieve pain relief. For years ankle fusi ...

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 ...

In vitro measurement of bone-implant micromotion of tibial implants after total ankle replacement

Background: Total Ankle Replacement (TAR) o_ers the advantage of preserving ankle joint motion compared with ankle arthrodesis. However, compared to hip or knee arthroplasty, TAR is a less successful procedure when considering the relatively low implants s ...

Evaluation of a geometry-based knee joint compared to a planar knee joint

Daniel Thalmann, Anders Sandholm

Today neuromuscular simulations are used in several fields, such as diagnostics and planing of surgery, to get a deeper understanding of the musculoskeletal system. During the last year, new models and datasets have been presented which can provide us with ...

Dislocation in total knee arthroplasty

Aurélien Gallice

Mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty has potential advantages over fixed- bearing prostheses that may lead to an improvement of the range of motion and inferior long-term polyethylene wear. However, the potential disadvantages include the dislocation of ...
