This study aimed to investigate the influence of ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) treatments, i.e., ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement (TAR), on the kinematics of multi-segment foot and ankle complex during relatively long-distance gait.Forty-fiv ...
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 ...
Lumbar puncture (LP) is performed by inserting a needle into the spinal canal to extract cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic purposes. A virtual reality (VR) lumbar puncture simulator based on real patient data has been developed and evaluated. ...
We are proposing and testing two model-free approaches for locomotion control of a light-weight, compliant, quadruped robot: open loop central pattern generators (CPG), and open and closed- loop dynamical movement primitives (DMP). We are presenting two di ...
This study compared the outcome of total knee replacement (TKR) in adult patients with fixed- and mobile-bearing prostheses during the first post-operative year and at five years' follow-up, using gait parameters as a new objective measure. This double-bli ...
In orthopaedics, outcome evaluation is currently recognized as a major challenge to improve the knowledge both about injuries and treatments. For anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, various evaluation tools are available for routine uses: clinical ex ...
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 ...
Knee joint impedance varies substantially during physiological gait. Quantifying this modulation is critical for the design of transfemoral prostheses that aim to mimic physiological limb behavior. Conventional methods for quantifying joint impedance typic ...
Two surgical treatments exist for ankle osteoarthritis (AO): ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement (TAR). Due to advantages and drawbacks of each treatment, decision making about these treatments is still a clinical question and thus, their ou ...
In Europe, low back pain (LBP) affects the quality of life of up to 30% of the active population. Although the origin of LBP is not well identified and is probably not unique, epidemiological studies suggest that the severity of the disease is correlated w ...
