Hypogravity modeling of upper extremities: an investigation of manual handling in the workplace
Experiments on the lower limbs are the only approaches being used to study how hypogravity (HG) (0 < g < 1, e.g., Moon: 1/6 g, Mars: 3/8 g) affects human movement. The goal of this study was to expand this field experimentally by investigating the effect o ...
Lausanne2023Machine Learning for Musculoskeletal Modeling of Upper Extremity
We propose a novel machine learning (ML)-driven methodology to estimate biomechanical variables of interest traditionally obtained from upper-extremity musculoskeletal (MSK) modeling. MSK models facilitate personalized modeling, perform "what-if" analyses, ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2022Evaluation of a shortened version of the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) for upper extremity function after stroke: The Mini-ARAT
Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Lisa Aïcha Mireille Julie Fleury
Objectives (i) to create a shortened version of the Action Research Arm Test scale, (ii) to investigate its psychometric properties compared to the original scale and (iii) to externally validate it within an independent cohort. Design Prospective longitud ...
SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD2022Ultraflexible flow directed device and system
Mahmut Selman Sakar, Pietro Luciano Jakobus Dirix
A flow directed device adapted to be guided by a fuid, such as blood, flow within a tubular structure such as a blood vessel is disclosed, said device comprising a proximal end (100), a distal end (101) and an elongated body (102) in between defining a lon ...
2021Optical rotating torque sensor with nano newton-meter resolution based on a hanging torsion wire
Simon Nessim Henein, Etienne Frédéric Gabriel Thalmann, Billy Nussbaumer
This article presents a novel torque measuring setup working in the nano newton-meter range. The central novelty is a long (1 meter range) thin (diameter of a few tens of micrometers) metallic wire used instead of the relatively stiff torsion zone of the s ...
2021Predrilled locking compression plate is more accurate than tension band wiring in restoring articular geometry of the ulnar greater sigmoid notch after olecranon Chevron osteotomy
Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair
Introduction: The olecranon Chevron osteotomy (OCO) is commonly used to approach complex intraarticular fractures of the distal humerus. Predrilled tension band wiring (TBW) has historically been used to fix OCO. However, clinical outcomes are burdened by ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Hand exoskeleton device
The invention relates to a hand exoskeleton device having a modular nature. The device is designed to be wearable, portable and light in weight, and comprises from one to ten modules each having an actuating mechanism such as a linear actuator coupled with ...
2019Steerable device and system
Philippe Renaud, Guillaume Cédric Yves Petitpierre
A steerable device for use as e.g. a guidewire for insertion into a subject's body is disclosed. The device features a single side deflection of a bendable portion located at its distal end by application of a longitudinally-directed force either on an inn ...
2019STEERABLE CATHETER WITH PORTIONS OF DIFFERENT STIFFNESS
Dario Floreano, Alice Tonazzini
A steerable catheter (10) comprises portions (100, 105) of different stiffness, having a proximal end (11), a distal end, a lumen extending there between, at least one magnet (20) at the proximal end (11), at least a magnetic field to influence the proxima ...
2019Simplifying Exosuits: Kinematic Couplings in the Upper Extremity during Daily Living Tasks
In the past few years, several light-weight soft wearable robots, so called exosuits, for upper extremity assistance have been developed. The design of exosuits is often based on a bio-mimetic design approach, mimicking the human biomechanics. However, in ...
