The establishment and biomechanical analysis of finite element model for halo-pelvic traction in scoliosis correction [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
BackgroundHalo-pelvic traction (HPT) is increasingly used for severe spinal deformity correction, but its biomechanical mechanisms remain poorly understood, particularly lacking of a comprehensive finite element model incorporating the complete Halo ...

Prediction of ground reaction forces and moments and joint kinematics and kinetics by inertial measurement units using 3D forward dynamics model

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2023
Predicting the ground reaction force (GRF) and ground reaction moment (GRM) with a biomechanical model-based approach has an advantage for biomechanical gait analysis in situations where a statistical model cannot be used due to a lack of training data ...

Biomechanical evaluation of novel intra- and extramedullary assembly fixation for proximal humerus fractures in the elderly

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Purpose: A novel intra- and extramedullary assembly fixation method was introduced, which achieved good clinical results in complex proximal humeral fractures; however, evidence of its comparability with traditional fixation is lacking.
