To improve the multi-speed adaptability of the powered prosthetic knee, this paper presented a speed-adaptive neural network control based on a powered geared five-bar (GFB) prosthetic knee. The GFB prosthetic knee is actuated via a cylindrical cam-b...
BACKGROUND: Computer navigation increases reproducibility compared to non-navigated total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Robotics navigation is a branch of computer navigation technology that might further improve accuracy of implant placement. The aim of ...

BACKGROUND: An above knee amputation can have a significant impact on gait, with substantial deviations in inter-leg symmetry, step length, hip exertion and upper body involvement even when using a current clinical standard of care prosthesis. These ...
BACKGROUND: Surgery is in a constant continuum of innovation with refinement of technique and instrumentation. Arthroplasty surgery potentially represents an area with highly innovative process. This study highlights key area of innovation in knee ar...
Deformable joint contact models can be used to estimate loading conditions for cartilage-cartilage, implant-implant, human-orthotic, and foot-ground interactions. However, contact evaluations are often so expensive computationally that they can be pr...
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a promising and powerful technology with increasing use in orthopedics. The global morbidity of knee arthroplasty is expanding. This study investigated the use of AI algorithms to review radiographs of knee...
