Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors

Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...

A Statistical Test for Probabilistic Fairness

Daniel Kuhn, Viet Anh Nguyen, Bahar Taskesen

Algorithms are now routinely used to make consequential decisions that affect human lives. Examples include college admissions, medical interventions or law enforcement. While algorithms empower us to harness all information hidden in vast amounts of data, ...

Experimental characterisation of textile compaction response: A benchmark exercise

Véronique Michaud, Baris Çaglar, Christophe Lopez

This paper reports the results of an international benchmark exercise on the measurement of fibre bed compaction behaviour. The aim was to identify aspects of the test method critical to obtain reliable results and to arrive at a recommended test procedure ...

Transsphenoidal resection for pituitary adenoma in elderly versus younger patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Constantin Tuleasca

Introduction Pituitary adenomas (PA) are common intracranial tumors. In the context of the aging of the population, the question is whether postsurgical outcomes are comparable to the younger ones. The primary objective of the present study was to review p ...

Residual hip dysplasia in children: osseous and cartilaginous acetabular angles to guide further treatment-a pilot study

Katarzyna Pierzchala

Purpose In case of residual hip dysplasia (RHD) in children, pelvic radiographs are sometimes insufficient to precisely evaluate the entire coverage of the femoral head, when trying to decide on the need for further reconstructive procedures. Methods This ...

Tailoring swelling to control softening mechanisms during cyclic loading of PEG/cellulose hydrogel composites

Dominique Pioletti, Azadeh Khoushabi, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Baris Çaglar, Céline Samira Wyss

One of the novel approaches for discogenic lower back pain treatment is to permanently replace the core of the intervertebral disc, so-called Nucleus Pulposus, through minimally invasive surgery. Recently, we have proposed Poly(Ethylene Glycol) Dimethacryl ...

Chronic low back pain patients walk with locally altered spinal kinematics

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Guillaume Christe

Various studies have reported alterations of spinal kinematics in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) during gait. However, while recent findings stressed the importance of multi-segment analysis, most of prior gait studies modelled the lumbar spine ...
