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 ...
Total knee arthroplasty is nowadays one of the most important orthopedic surgery. It consists of a procedure in which parts of the knee are replaced by a prosthesis. The largest indication for total knee arthroplasty is osteoarthritis, a knee disease that ...
Background: Airway bacterial colonization by potentially pathogenic microorganisms occurs in a proportion of patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It increases airway inflammation and influences outcomes negatively. Yet, its diagnosis ...
Using data from student use of educational technologies to evaluate and improve cognitive models of learners is now a common approach in EDM. Such naturally occurring data poses modeling challenges when non-random factors drive what data is collected. Prio ...
Accurate measurement of knee kinematics during functional activities suffers mainly from soft tissue artifact (STA): the combination of local surface deformations and rigid movement of markers relative to the underlying bone (also called rigid STA movement ...
In this work, we present a magnetic measurement system for integration into smart knee prostheses to accurately measure the combination of two knee rotations; namely Flexion- Extension and Internal-External rotations. This measurement system consists of tw ...

We develop a least mean-squares (LMS) diffusion strategy for sensor network applications where it is desired to estimate parameters of physical phenomena that vary over space. In particular, we consider a regression model with space-varying parameters that ...
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 ...
We examined the correlations between several tasks that are traditionally though to probe low-level visual mechanisms. Surprisingly, we found only 4 out of a possible 15 correlations to be statistically significant. A power analysis revealed that this resu ...
Background: This study aimed to use plantar pressure analysis in relatively long-distance walking for objective outcome evaluation of ankle osteoarthritis treatments, i.e., ankle arthrodesis and total ankle replacement. Methods: Forty-seven subjects in fou ...
