OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine how reduced plantar cutaneous sensation influences static postural control in individuals with and without CAI.
In the operational theater, the surgical team could highly benefit from a robotic supplementary hand under the surgeon's full control. The surgeon may so become more autonomous; this may reduce communication errors with the assistants and take over d...
