BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of knee alignment in pre- and post-operative radiographs is crucial for knee arthroplasty planning and evaluation. Current methods rely on manual alignment assessment, which is time-consuming and error-prone. This stud...
BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a widely performed procedure for ACL injury, but there are several factors which may lead to re-rupture or clinical failure. An intercondylar notch (or fossa) that is narrower may increas...

This study presents a novel wearable solution integrating Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) sensors into a knee sleeve to monitor knee flexion/extension (F/E) patterns during walking. POF sensors offer advantages such as flexibility, light weight, and robu...
Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), a leading cause of disability worldwide, is challenging to detect early due to subtle radiographic indicators. Diverse, extensive datasets are needed but are challenging to compile because of privacy, data collection limita...
BACKGROUND: Knee kinematics during daily activities reflect disease severity preoperatively and are associated with clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is widely believed that measured kinematics would be useful for preoperative...

Legged robots, designed to emulate human functions, have greatly influenced numerous sectors. However, the focus on continuously improving the joint motors and control systems of existing legged robots not only increases costs and complicates mainten...
OBJECTIVES: Knee subchondral bone marrow lesions (BMLs) are one of the hallmark features of structural osteoarthritis (OA) and are potential targets for statins' disease-modifying effect. We aimed to determine the association between statin use and l...
BACKGROUND: Minimum joint space width (mJSW) is an important continuous quantitative metric of osteoarthritis progression in the knee. The purpose of this study was to develop an automated measurement algorithm for mJSW in the medial and lateral comp...
