The effect of manual lymphatic drainage on swelling and its consequences following total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlles trial

Objective: To evaluate the effects of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) on knee swelling and the assumed consequences of swelling after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Primary care hospital. Participants: Two grou ...

Locally Linear Neuro-Fuzzy Estimate of the Prosthetic Knee Angle and its Validation in a Robotic Simulator

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Natacha Vida Martins

Here we present a low-power magnetic measurement system based on only two Hall-effect elements and a permanent magnet integrated into a smart knee prosthesis to accurately measure knee flexion-extension. The smart prosthesis was tested in a robotic knee si ...

Detecting Slipping-Like Perturbations by Using Adaptive Oscillators

Silvestro Micera

This study introduces a novel algorithm to detect unexpected slipping-like perturbations based on the comparison between actual leg joint angles and those predicted by a pool of adaptive oscillators. The approach grounds on the hypothesis that during postu ...

Actuator With Angle-Dependent Elasticity for Biomimetic Transfemoral Prostheses

Serge Pfeifer

Despite tremendous improvements in recent years, lower-limb prostheses are still inferior to their biological counterparts. Most powered knee joints use impedance control, but it is unknown which impedance profiles are needed to replicate physiological beh ...

A patient-specific numerical musculoskeletal knee model

Adeliya Latypova

Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-accepted surgical treatment of severe cases of osteoarthritis. Surgery is associated with improved pain level, knee function and health-related quality of life. Despite advances in surgical techniques and implant des ...

Design and integration of an instrumented knee prosthesis

Matteo Simoncini

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 ...

Estimation of prosthetic knee angles via data fusion of implantable and wearable sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami, Arnaud Barré, Roderik Berthelin

In this work, we studied a combination of embedded magnetic measurement system in a knee prosthesis and wearable inertial sensors to estimate two knee joint rotations namely flexion-extension and internal-external rotations. The near optimal sensor configu ...

Sensitivity of hip tissues contact evaluation to the methods used for estimating the hip joint center of rotation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Jérôme Schmid, Ehsan Arbabi

Computer-based simulations of human hip joints generally include investigating contacts happening among soft or hard tissues during hip movement. In many cases, hip movement is approximated as rotation about an estimated hip center. In this paper, we inves ...

Finite element analysis of knee squat with an osteochondral defect

Ernst Remij

In this work a 3D musculoskeletal model of the knee joint, that can simulate a squat movement, has been developed. Such a model would be useful to understand the biomechanics of the knee. The model consisted of all the the bones with their articular surfac ...
