Tendon-Based Transmission for Surgical Robotics: Systematic Experimental Friction Modeling.

Hannes Bleuler, Masayuki Hara, Patrick Schoeneich, Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira, Ali Sengül

Increased miniaturization of surgical instruments is essential to successfully perform surgical procedures in restricted areas as in many applications of minimally-invasive surgery. Miniaturization permits increase in dexterity and decrease in access incis ...

Hip mechanical simulation for estimating pressures within the soft tissues during the loads and motions of daily activities is a common approach to investigate hip joint pathology. Many computational approaches estimate the pressure and contact pressures v ...

Springer-Verlag London Ltd, Sweetapple House Catteshall Rd Farncombe, Godalming Gu7 1Nh, Surrey, England2009

Collision detection among virtual objects is one of the main concerns in virtual reality and computer graphics. Usually the methods developed for collision detection are for either very general cases or very specific applications. The first main goal of th ...

In situ measurements of human articular cartilage stiffness by means of a scanning force microscope

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama

Osteoarthritis is a painful and disabling progressive joint disease, characterized by degradation of articular cartilage. In order to study this disease at early stages, we have miniaturized and integrated a complete scanning force microscope into a standa ...

A new ambulatory system for comparative evaluation of the three-dimensional knee kinematics, applied to anterior cruciate ligament injuries

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Bijan Najafi

The aim of this study was to develop an ambulatory system for the three-dimensional (3D) knee kinematics evaluation, which can be used outside a laboratory during long-term monitoring. In order to show the efficacy of this ambulatory system, knee function ...

Engineering of human meniscus substitute

Anna Marsano

Injuries to the meniscus are often treated by partial or total meniscectomy, which is known to be associated with detrimental changes in joint function, ultimately increasing the risk of early degenerative joint diseases. Surgical approaches currently in u ...

Intraarticular application of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and their uptake by synovial membrane—an experimental study in sheep

Heinrich Hofmann, Benedikt Steitz, Mathieu Chastellain

A superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle, coated with polyvinyl alcohol, (PVA-SPION) and its fluorescently functionalized analogue (amino-PVA-Cy3.5-SPION) were compared in vivo as proof of principle for future use in magnetic drug targeting in inflammat ...
