Development of human limbs. [PDF]
This work offers a new view on the developmental history of tetrapods. It proposes an original evolution model of human limbs based on metameric formation of osteogenic buds in accordance to primary segmentation and biplanar symmetry. While going through

Automatic analysis of magnetic resonance (MR) sequences for the diagnosis of ligament lesions [PDF]
To date the diagnosis of carpal instabilities due to ligament lesions relies upon a qualitative examination of the patient's wrist. This paper presents a novel system where sequences of magnetic resonance images (MRI) are automatically analysed to ...

A Canine Musculoskeletal Robot for Investigating Biomechanical Functions During Locomotion
In this study, a dog limb musculoskeletal robot was developed using thin McKibben artificial muscles to investigate the effects of the dog's musculoskeletal structure on walking. Walking experiments were conducted in both indoor and outdoor environments, suggesting that the flexible structure of the dog's shoulders contributes to an increase in stroke ...
