The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing. Simple walking models suggest that preempt...

A Novel Interactive Exoskeletal Robot for Overground Locomotion Studies in Rats.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a newly developed apparatus, Iron Rat, for locomotion research in rodents. Its main purpose is to allow maximal freedom of voluntary overground movement of the animal while providing forceful interaction to the hindlimbs. Advant...

Ten-dimensional anthropomorphic arm control in a human brain-machine interface: difficulties, solutions, and limitations.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In a previous study we demonstrated continuous translation, orientation and one-dimensional grasping control of a prosthetic limb (seven degrees of freedom) by a human subject with tetraplegia using a brain-machine interface (BMI). The cur...

An assistive control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton to facilitate recovery of walking following stroke.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents a control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton intended to facilitate recovery of walking in individuals with lower-extremity hemiparesis after stroke. The authors hypothesize that such recovery is facilitated by allowing the pat...

A powered prosthetic intervention for bilateral transfemoral amputees.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper presents the design and validation of a control system for a pair of powered knee and ankle prostheses to be used as a prosthetic intervention for bilateral transfemoral amputees. The control system leverages communication between the pros...

[Advances in application of digital orthopedic technology in total hip arthroplasty for developmental dysplasia of hip].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To review the research progress on the application of digital orthopedic technology in total hip arthroplasty (THA) for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), thereby providing a reference for clinical decision-making. METHODS: A compre...

Rate- and Patient-Specific Risk Factors for Periprosthetic Acetabular Fractures During Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Press-Fit Cup.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic acetabular fractures following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a cementless acetabular component range from occult to severe fractures. The aims of this study were to evaluate the perioperative periprosthetic ace...

Machine Learning-Based Rapid Prediction of Torsional Performance of Personalized Peripheral Artery Stent.

International journal for numerical methods in biomedical engineering
The complex mechanical environment of peripheral arteries makes stents with poor torsional performance more prone to fracture, and stent fracture is considered a precursor to in-stent restenosis (ISR). Therefore, studying the torsional performance of...

Motion-Mimicking Robotic Finger Prosthesis for Burn-induced Partial Hand Amputee: A Case Report.

Journal of burn care & research : official publication of the American Burn Association
Burn injuries often result in severe hand complications, including joint contractures and nerve damage, sometimes leading to amputation. Despite early treatment, hypertrophic scarring frequently hampers hand function recovery, and the thick raised sc...

Assessing artificial intelligence responses to common patient questions regarding inflatable penile prostheses using a publicly available natural language processing tool (ChatGPT).

The Canadian journal of urology
INTRODUCTION: The evolving landscape of healthcare information dissemination has been dramatically influenced by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) driven chatbots, providing patients with accessible and interactive platforms to obtain knowledg...
