Background: Passive prosthetic knees incorporate extension assist mechanisms to enhance the swing phase of gait cycle for persons with above/through-knee amputations. In conventional polycentric using a 4-bar linkage, mechanism connects one bars body prosthesis. However, this design introduces singularity in spring action delivery, causing push knee into flexion beyond certain angle. contrast, an that links upper and lower parts eliminate feature, ensuring is pushed toward throughout full...
Splinting techniques are widely used in medicine to inhibit the movement of arthritic joints. Studies into effectiveness splinting as a method pain reduction have generally yielded positive results, however, no significant difference has been found clinical outcomes between types. Tactile sensing shown great promise for integration devices and may offer further information applied forces find most effective methods splinting. Hall effect-based tactile sensors particular interest this...
Despite being functionally important, the dart throwing motion is difficult to assess accurately through goniometry. The objectives of this study were describe a method for reliably quantifying using goniometric measurements within healthy population. Wrist kinematics 24 participants assessed goniometry and optical tracking. Three wrist angles measured at starting ending points motion: flexion–extension, radial–ulnar deviation angle. orientation plane relative flexion–extension axis ranged...
This study presents the design and development of an instrumented splint for measuring biomechanical effects hand splinting assessing interface loading characteristics people with arthritis. Sixteen multi-axial soft load-sensing nodes were mounted on splint-skin a custom 3D printed thumb splint. The was used to measure forces between in 12 healthy participants 6 everyday tasks. Forces compared baseline relaxed position during states active use. These data generate sensor activity across...
Background: Distal ulna fracture fixation plates commonly cause irritation, necessitating removal, due to the narrow area between articular cartilage and extensor carpi ulnaris. This study defines safe zone for plate application determines whether wrist position affects risk of impingement. Methods: Four different distal anatomic (Acumed, Medartis, Skeletal Dynamics, Synthes) were applied 12 cadaveric specimens. Safe size was measured in circumferential distance angular arc. Impingement...
Abstract Background Currently, there is little available in-depth analysis of the biomechanical effect different prostheses on musculoskeletal system function and residual limb internal loading for persons with bilateral transfemoral/through-knee amputations (BTF). Commercially BTF include full-length articulated (microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees dynamic response feet) foreshortened non-articulated stubby prostheses. This study aims to assess compare during gait these two types...
