Shared human-machine control of an intelligent bionic hand improves grasping and decreases cognitive burden for transradial amputees.

Nature communications
Bionic hands can replicate many movements of the human hand, but our ability to intuitively control these bionic hands is limited. Humans' manual dexterity is partly due to control loops driven by sensory feedback. Here, we describe the integration o...

[Update 2025: Biomechanics and kinematics after total knee arthroplasty (TKA)].

Orthopadie (Heidelberg, Germany)
BACKGROUND: In order to optimise clinical outcomes after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), research has refocused on the knee joint's biomechanical characteristics. Beyond implant design and alignment philosophy, the restoration of natural joint...

Fully automated workflow for designing patient-specific orthopaedic implants: Application to total knee arthroplasty.

PloS one
Background Osteoarthritis affects about 528 million people worldwide, causing pain and stiffness in the joints. Arthroplasty is commonly performed to treat joint osteoarthritis, reducing pain and improving mobility. Nevertheless, a significant share ...

Optimization of hemocompatibility metrics in ventricular assist device design using machine learning and CFD-based response surface analysis.

The International journal of artificial organs
Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are essential for end-stage heart failure patients, but their design must balance hydraulic efficiency and hemocompatibility to minimize blood damage. This study presents a multi-objective optimization framework inte...
