INFLUENCE OF THE CONGRUENCE OF PILOT HOLE TAPPING ON THE ANCHORAGE OF THE PEDICLE SCREW
Coluna/Columna, 2020 Objectives To observe the influence of the congruence of the tapping of the pilot hole on the anchorage of the pedicle screws. Methods 5.5 and 6.5 mm screws from two vertebral fixation systems (Pedicol and Safe) were inserted into polyurethane blocks.

(2021). Reinforcement learning control of a biomechanical model of the upper
extremity. Scientific Reports, 11(1), 1-15, 2020 Among the infinite number of possible movements that can be produced, humans are commonly assumed to choose those that optimize criteria such as minimizing movement time, subject to certain movement constraints like signal-dependent and constant motor noise.
