OBJECTIVE: Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are being increasingly integrated in spine surgery. One emerging application of AI is in hand motion detection to assess surgical skill. However, no standardized framework currently exists for eval...
Breast reconstruction using tissue expanders is the primary treatment option following mastectomy. Although skin growth in response to chronic supra-physiological stretch is well-established, individual patient factors such as breast shape, volume, s...
Six-degree-of-freedom robotic testing is used to gain insight into knee function by measuring the biomechanics of cadaveric knees. However, it can be challenging to use cadaveric knees to validate robotic testing methodologies and to compare methodol...

BACKGROUND: In order to meet the kinematic requirements of large range of motion, payload, and stiffness of Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy robots, a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel platform (Stewart-Gough mechanism) is introduced and a dimensio...
Gait analysis is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various healthcare conditions, but traditional marker-based motion capture (MoCap) systems require expensive equipment, extensive setup, and trained personnel, limiting their accessibility in cli...
Accurate description of individual bone kinematics is essential for understanding individual foot and ankle joint function and interactions. While invasive and noninvasive techniques, including robotic simulators, have advanced the direct measurement...
Despite remarkable progress in robotic exoskeletons, exoskeletons are still far from matching human-level guidance and locomotion performance in gait training or movement enhancement. A desirable exoskeleton would first provide a standard gait profil...
The periprosthetic acetabular osteotomy (PAO) is a commonly used technique in orthopedics for treating developmental hip dysplasia and hip dislocation, as the most effective treatment for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). However, performing ...
