Is it possible to establish reference values for ankle muscle strength? A meta-analytical study. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: The importance of measuring ankle muscle strength (AMS) has been demonstrated in a variety of clinical areas. Much data has been accumulated using the Cybex Norm isokinetic dynamometer but a uniform framework does not exist.

3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Takedown total ankle replacement: A meta analysis

Foot & Ankle Surgery: Techniques, Reports & Cases
Ankle arthritis often results from post-traumatic, rheumatologic, or structural etiologies, and has historically been surgically managed with tibiotalar joint arthrodesis. Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is a promising alternative, particularly for failed

Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current

Improving independence in the community for stroke survivors : the role of biomechanics visualisation in ankle-foot orthosis tuning [PDF]

, 2011
One of the key priorities for stroke survivors in their rehabilitation process is regaining their ability to walk. Evidence has shown that provision of ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) can have a positive impact on walking.
