Experiments and kinematics analysis of a hand rehabilitation exoskeleton with circuitous joints.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Aiming at the hand rehabilitation of stroke patients, a wearable hand exoskeleton with circuitous joint is proposed. The circuitous joint adopts the symmetric pinion and rack mechanism (SPRM) with the parallel mechanism. The exoskeleton finger is a s...

A Haptic Guided Robotic System for Endoscope Positioning and Holding.

Turkish neurosurgery
AIM: To determine the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of using a robot for holding and maneuvering the endoscope in transnasal transsphenoidal surgery.

Body weight support during robot-assisted walking: influence on the trunk and pelvis kinematics.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Efficacy studies concerning robot assisted gait rehabilitation showed limited clinical benefits. A changed kinematic pattern might be responsible for this. Little is known about the kinematics of the trunk and pelvis during robot assisted...

Functional geometric morphometric analysis of masticatory system ontogeny in papionin primates.

Anatomical record (Hoboken, N.J. : 2007)
The three-dimensional configuration of the primate masticatory system is constrained by the need to maximize bite forces while avoiding distraction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Within these bounds, shape variation has predictable effects on ...

High degree of accuracy of a novel image-free handheld robot for unicondylar knee arthroplasty in a cadaveric study.

Clinical orthopaedics and related research
BACKGROUND: Surgical robotics has been shown to improve the accuracy of bone preparation and soft tissue balance in unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA). However, although extensive data have emerged with regard to a CT scan-based haptically constrain...

A correlative investigation of simulated occupant motion and accident report in a helicopter crash.

Aviation, space, and environmental medicine
BACKGROUND: In the late 1980's, an Army Apache helicopter crashed during a training mission, resulting in fatal injuries to the rear seat pilot and survivable injuries to the front seat copilot. U.S. Army investigators assessed the aircraft damage an...
