Influence of an Assistive Hip Orthosis on Gait

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

Powered orthoses are leading to an imminent change in the field of assistance. The major challenges faced by the technology concern the management of the interaction between the user and the wearable device and the coordination between the user intention a ...

Effect of changes of femoral offset on abductor and joint reaction forces in total hip arthroplasty

Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger, Maïka Réane Guillemin

Anatomical reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA) allows for physiological muscle function, good functional outcome and implant longevity. Quantitative data on the effect of a loss or gain of femoral offset (FO) are scarce. The aim of this study wa ...

An Adaptive Neuromuscular Controller for Assistive Lower-Limb Exoskeletons: A Preliminary Study on Subjects with Spinal Cord Injury

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Tycho Jan Henricus Brug

Versatility is important for a wearable exoskeleton controller to be responsive to both the user and the environment. These characteristics are especially important for subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI), where active recruitment of their own neuromusc ...

Tribocorrosion under fluid lubrication : modeling wear of CoCrMo artificial hip joints

Shoufan Cao

Wear is still the key problem causing the failure and limiting the lifetime of artificial hip joints, especially for the polymer acetabular cup in the metal-on-polymer and ceramic-on-polymer articulations. To reduce the wear, metal-on-metal articulation ha ...

Impact of the Femoral Head Position on Moment Arms in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Parametric Finite Element Study

Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Parvex

Background: Although the importance of accurate femoral reconstruction to achieve a good functional outcome is well documented, quantitative data on the effects of a displacement of the femoral center of rotation on moment arms are scarce. The purpose of t ...

Impact of individual anatomy on the benefit of cup medialisation in total hip arthroplasty

Alexandre Terrier, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger, Valérie Parvex

Introduction: In total hip arthroplasty, cup medialisation with compensatory increase of femoral offset has been proposed to increase the moment arms of abductor muscles. However, this technique is associated with a loss of acetabular bone stock. Previous ...

Micromotion and fluid flow around cementless femoral components in total hip arthroplasty

Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine

Cementless total hip arthroplasty is a highly successful and reliable procedure to restore joint function and reduce pain in patients with severe osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, despite the technical advances over the last decades in the development of cemen ...

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 ...

Total hip replacement with a collarless polished cemented anatomic stem: Clinical and gait analysis results at ten years follow-up

Kamiar Aminian, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

The aim of this study was to determine outcomes of total hip replacement (THR) with the Lemania cemented femoral stem. A total of 78 THR patients were followed and compared to 17 "fit", healthy, elderly and 72 "frail" elderly subjects without THR, using cl ...

Benefit of Cup Medialization in Total Hip Arthroplasty is Associated With Femoral Anatomy

Alexandre Terrier, Francesc Levrero Florencio

Medialization of the cup with a respective increase in femoral offset has been proposed in THA to increase abductor moment arms. Insofar as there are potential disadvantages to cup medialization, it is important to ascertain whether the purported biomechan ...
