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...

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 ...
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...

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...
Post-induction hypotension is common and associated with postoperative complications. We hypothesised that pneumatic leg compression reduces post-induction hypotension in elderly patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy. In this ...
Balance recovery after tripping often requires an active adaptation of foot placement. Thus far, few attempts have been made to actively assist forward foot placement for balance recovery employing wearable devices. This study aims to explore the pos...

A novel and fun exercise robot (LOCOBOT) was developed to improve balance ability. This system can control a spherical robot on a floor by changing the center of pressure (COP) based on weight-shifting on a board. The present study evaluated leg musc...
