PURPOSE: The medial collateral ligament (MCL), and posterior oblique ligament (POL) are the primary valgus stabilisers of the knee, and clinical examinations in grading valgus instability can be inherently subjective. Stress radiography of medial-sid...
BACKGROUND: This study leverages Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to predict lower limb joint moments and electromyography (EMG) signals from Ground Reaction Forces (GRF), providing a novel perspective on human gait analysis. This approach aims to e...
BACKGROUND: A drastic increase in the volume of primary total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed nationwide will inevitably lead to higher volumes of revision TKAs in which the primary knee implant must be removed. An important step in preoperative...

OBJECTIVE: to establish whether torque pulses applied by an exoskeleton to the hip and knee joint modulate propulsion mechanics and whether changes in propulsion mechanics are sustained after exposure to torque pulses under user-driven treadmill cont...
Gait analysis is crucial for identifying functional deviations from the normal gait cycle and is essential for the individualized treatment of motor disorders such as cerebral palsy (CP). The primary contribution of this study is the introduction of ...
BACKGROUND: Optimal implant position and alignment remains a controversial, yet critical topic in primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Future study of ideal implant position will require the ability to efficiently measure component positions at sca...
BACKGROUND: Poor results occasionally occur after unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR). It is often difficult, even for experienced surgeons, to determine why patients have poor outcomes from radiographs. The aim was to compare the ability of expe...

BACKGROUND: Accurate measurement of the hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle is essential for informed clinical decision-making in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). Knee OA is commonly associated with varus deformity, where the alignment of the knee ...
Lower-limb exoskeletons have the potential to transform the way we move, but current state-of-the-art controllers cannot accommodate the rich set of possible human behaviours that range from cyclic and predictable to transitory and unstructured. We i...
Acoustical knee health assessment has long promised an alternative to clinically available medical imaging tools, but this modality has yet to be adopted in medical practice. The field is currently led by machine learning models processing acoustical...
