Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Predeformation loading capacity of various stopper types of Kirschner wires

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2021
The predeformation loading capacity of five different stopper configurations of Kirschner wires are evaluated quantitatively on an experimental model by using the Instron device. Traction forces were applied to Kirschner wires with normal beaded stoppers

Medial Hemiplateau High-Tibial Osteotomy Technique for Varus Tibial Plateau Malunion. [PDF]

Arthrosc Tech
Abstract Tibial plateau fractures can be devastating injuries and lead to progressive pain, post‐traumatic arthritis, and joint instability. Although these are typically treated with open reduction internal fixation at the time of injury, occasionally persistent deformity and/or malunion can occur.

Shear‐Isolating Actuation System for Exosuit Using Movable Pulley With Webbing‐Driven Mechanism

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Tendon‐driven exosuits can chafe the skin because the moving tendon slides against the wearer. A shear‐isolating actuation system combining a movable pulley with flat‐profile webbing keeps the body‐contacting tendon layer stationary, relocating relative motion away from the skin. The compact 145‐g actuator delivers 150 N of assistance, and benchtop and
