Design of a measuring device for Mallet Finger treatment

A mallet finger is an injury that affects the extensor tendon at the Distal interphalangeal joint (DIP). It results from a hyperflexion of the said tendon which can result in a stretching or tearing of the tendon or an avulsion of the tendon’s insertion on ...

Alignment of collagen fiber in knitted silk scaffold for functional massive rotator cuff repair

Weiliang Shen, Ting Zhu, Jiayun Huang

Rotator cuff tear is one of the most common types of shoulder injuries, often resulting in pain and physical debilitation. Allogeneic tendon-derived decellularized matrices do not have appropriate pore size and porosity to facilitate cell infiltration, whi ...

Effects of a neuromuscular controller on a powered ankle exoskeleton during human walking

Auke Ijspeert, Arash Arami, Etienne Burdet, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu, Daniel Renjewski

Wearable devices to assist abnormal gaits require controllers that interact with the user in an intuitive and unobtrusive manner. To design such a controller, we investigated a bio-inspired walking controller for orthoses and prostheses. We present (i) a S ...

Effect of partial-thickness tear on loading capacities of the supraspinatus tendon: a finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt, David Ingram

Partial-thickness tears of the supraspinatus tendon frequently occur at its insertion on the greater tubercule of the humerus, causing pain and reduced strength and range of motion. The goal of this work was to quantify the loss of loading capacity due to ...

Comparative Study of Post-tensioned Glass Beams with Bonded Tendons

Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

This paper explores the system of laminated annealed glass beams post-tensioned through stainless steel tendons bonded to the lower glass edge. The tendons are first pre-tensioned and then adhesively bonded to the glass. The compressive pre-stress applied ...

Fiber distribution in a 3D FEM Model of the Supraspinatus Tendon

Romy Alexandra Hasler

The supraspinatus tendon is often involved in rotator cu↵ tears. The pathogenesis of such tears is not well known and can be multicausal (mechanical, inflammatory, ...). The idea of this project was to analyse the mechanical contribution to rotator cuff te ...
