OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to determine the learning curve for a novel seven-axis robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty (RA-THA) system, and to explore whether it was able to provide greater accuracy in acetabular cup positioning...
In recent years, the neural control mechanisms of the arms and legs during human bipedal walking have been clarified. Rhythmic leg stepping leads to suppression of monosynaptic reflex excitability in forearm muscles. However, it is unknown whether an...
BACKGROUND: Leg-length discrepancy (LLD) is a critical factor in component selection and placement for total hip arthroplasty. However, LLD radiographic measurements are subject to variation based on the femoral/pelvic landmarks chosen. This study le...
Artificial-intelligence (AI) allows large-scale analyses of long-leg-radiographs (LLRs). We used this technology to derive an update for the classical regression formulae by Trotter and Gleser, which are frequently used to infer stature based on long...

BACKGROUND: Advocates of robot-assisted technique argue that robots could improve leg length restoration in total hip replacement. However, there were few studies to compare the robot-assisted posterior approach (RPA) with conventional posterior appr...

Physiotherapy is a treatment that may be required permanently by many patients. As a result, a robot that can execute physiotherapy exercises for the legs like a professional therapist with adequate performance and acceptable safety may be efficient ...

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...

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...
PURPOSE: Angular and longitudinal deformities of leg alignment create excessive stresses across joints, leading to pain and impaired function. Multiple measurements are used to assess these deformities on anteroposterior (AP) full-length radiographs....
Muscle volume must increase substantially during childhood growth to generate the power required to propel the growing body. One unresolved but fundamental question about childhood muscle growth is whether muscles grow at equal rates; that is, if mus...
