In recent years exoskeletons able to replicate human gait have begun attract growing popularity for both assistive and rehabilitative purposes. Although wearable robots often need the use of external support in order maintain stability, REX exoskeleton by Bionics is self-balance through whole cycle. However this statically balanced presents important differences with dynamically subjects. This paper will examine kinematic kinetic between analysis performed on a subject wearing data as...
Gait retraining interventions using real-time biofeedback have been proposed to alter the loading across knee joint in patients with osteoarthritis. Despite demonstrated benefits of these conservative treatments, their clinical adoption is currently obstructed by high complexity, spatial demands, and cost optical motion capture systems. In this study we propose evaluate a wearable visual feedback system for gait foot progression angle (FPA). The primary components are inertial measurement...
Wearing a soft knee brace has been shown to reduce self-reported instability in persons with OA. There is need assess whether beneficial effect on objectively assessed dynamic as well. The aims of the study were evaluate and difference between non-tight tight OA.Thirty-eight OA participated laboratory study. A within-subject design was used comparing no vs brace. primary outcome measure instability, expressed by perturbation response (PR). PR reflects deviation mean varus-valgus angle during...
Electrosurgical vessel sealing has been demonstrated to have benefits for both patients and practitioners, but significant variation in the strength of seal continues be a concern. This study aims examine electrosurgical quality along length porcine common carotid artery explore relationships between quality, size morphology. Additionally, aimed investigate minimum safety threshold successful seals influence characteristics on meeting this requirement. A total 35 arteries were sealed using...
BackgroundGait analysis has been used for decades to quantify knee function in patients with osteoarthritis; however, it is unknown whether and what extent inter-laboratory differences affect the comparison of gait data between studies. Therefore, aim this study was perform an biomechanics muscle activation patterns during osteoarthritis.MethodsKnee from osteoarthritis were analyzed, previously collected at Dalhousie University (DAL: n = 55) Amsterdam UMC, VU medical center (VUmc: 39), using...
Acetabular orientation is a crucial part of the planning and performance hip arthroplasty. Currently, most surgeons use anterior pelvic plane (APP) to orient themselves when navigating acetabulum, despite fact that superior iliac spine (ASIS) unaffected side not accessible in lateral position. We have identified another plane, transverse (TPP), relying on both posterior spines ASIS affected side. In CT-based study, this was found be as reliable APP for cup anteversion inclination. The...
Abstract Background Self-paced treadmills are increasingly used in clinical and research settings. Using self-paced (SP) treadmills, researchers can simulate overground walking while participants walk with different but comfortable gait speeds a controlled environment. Several algorithms have been designed for based on data from force plates, motion capture, even marker-less systems such as 3D depth cameras. Methods We present non-linear controller that implements algorithm integrated...
