A study of increase in leg volume during complex physical therapy for leg lymphedema using subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.

Journal of vascular surgery. Venous and lymphatic disorders
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to discuss the mode of increase in leg volume during complex physical therapy (CPT) for lymphedema using subcutaneous tissue ultrasonography.

Head-down tilt lithotomy position and well-leg compartment syndrome: An international survey of current practice.

Colorectal disease : the official journal of the Association of Coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland
AIM: Well-leg compartment syndrome (WLCS) is a serious complication of prolonged surgery in the head-down tilt lithotomy (HDTL) position associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. However, there is a lack of awareness and clinic...

Real-Time Control for Assisted Sit-to-Stand via Legged Robotic Helpers.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Bipedal robotic systems open up distinctive opportunities to aid individuals with reduced mobility in daily activities such as walking, rising from a seated position, and engaging in fundamental tasks that involve standing, such as bathing or getting...

Systematic Evaluation of a Knee Exoskeleton Misalignment Compensation Mechanism Using a Robotic Dummy Leg.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The objective and quantitative assessment of physical human-exoskeletons interaction (pHEI) represents a pressing necessity in the wearable robots field. This process remains of difficult execution, especially for early stage devices, in which the in...

Deep Learning Segmentation of Lower Extremities Radiographs for an Automatic Leg Length Discrepancy Measurement.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Leg length measurement is relevant for the early diagnostic and treatment of discrepancies as they are related with orthopedic and biomechanical changes. Simple radiology constitutes the gold standard on which radiologists perform manual lower limb m...

Development of a Belt-actuated Robotic Platform for Early Rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In order to promote early rehabilitation, we proposed a system which provides full-body arm-leg training for patients in a bed-lying position. As the preliminary development, a platform for leg movement was investigated. An innovative system with fou...

Detection thresholds for electrostimulation combined with robotic leg support in sub-acute stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in adults in the European Union. It often leads to motor impairments, such as a hemiparetic lower extremity. Research indicates that early task-specific and intensive training promotes neuroplasticity...

A Lymphatic Drainage Robot for Lymphedema Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Lymphedema is a medical condition that results in swelling and discomfort in human arms or legs. Caused due to the build-up of lymph fluid in the tissues under the skin, lymphedema commonly affects one of the arms or legs and it is an incurable condi...

[Meta-analysis of leg length discrepancy after robot-assisted and traditional total hip arthroplasty].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To systematically evaluate the difference in leg length discrepancy (LLD) between robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (THA) and traditional THA.

A Case of Well Leg Compartment Syndrome After Robot-assisted Laparoscopic Prostatectomy:With Review.

The journal of medical investigation : JMI
Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer was introduced in 2000 and rapidly gained popularity. The Da Vinci Surgical System? can ensure improved local control of cancer and fewer perioperative complications. However, RALP ...
