Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Force–Displacement Characterization of PNIPAM Microactuators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A method to experimentally establish a force–displacement diagram of poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAM) microactuators, printed by 2PP, is presented herein. PNIPAM is a hydrogel whose volume and stiffness change with temperature due to the absorption or release of water.

Pressures on the Foot in Pointe Shoes

Foot & Ankle, 1985
This study was designed to determine the relative pressures on the first and second toes and first MTP joint when dancing en pointe, in addition to the variation of these pressures as a function of toe length, foot position, and padding. The first ray always bore the most pressure.

Dynamic Pressures on the Diabetic Foot

Foot & Ankle International, 2001
A retrospective study was conducted in order to investigate the relation between increased plantar pressure and ulcers in the diabetic foot and contribute more information on this subject. Maximal plantar pressure (MPP) is reported on various areas of the plantar aspects of the feet in 328 diabetic patients and 75 healthy subjects.

The Measurement of Pressures under the Foot

Foot & Ankle, 1982
An apparatus is described which gives a rapid and detailed picture of the distribution of pressure under the foot, this being displayed either as a continuous grey scale or a color contour map on a television monitor. Automatic analysis systems are outlined which enable the quantitation of the distribution of pressures and loads under the foot during ...

A state-of-the-art review of foot pressure

Foot and Ankle Surgery, 2020
The science of foot pressure studies the forces acting on the bottom and different regions of the foot along with the pressure exerted on the plantar surface with the interacting surface in contact. The information derived gave impact to human biomechanical assessment on body balance and ergonomics posture during gait.

Relationship Between Foot Pressure Pattern and Foot Type

Foot & Ankle International, 1998
Foot type and location of area of peak pressure under the metatarsal heads were determined for 54 healthy adults between the ages of 21 and 39 years. Feet were classified as neutral, pronated, or supinated. Each subject walked barefoot over a pedobarograph, and the area of peak pressure was identified as being either medial, central, or lateral under ...

Foot deformities, function in the lower extremities, and plantar pressure in patients with diabetes at high risk to develop foot ulcers

open access: yesDiabetic Foot & Ankle, 2015
Objective : Foot deformities, neuropathy, and dysfunction in the lower extremities are known risk factors that increase plantar peak pressure (PP) and, as a result, the risk of developing foot ulcers in patients with diabetes.

Foot Bearing Pressure in Patients with Unilateral Diabetic Foot Ulcers

Diabetic Medicine, 1989
Foot ulceration due to neuropathy is a serious cause of morbidity in diabetes. Ulceration usually occurs at the part of the foot subjected to excessive mechanical pressure. A more generalized increase in pressure under the feet has also been shown to be a feature of many patients with diabetic neuropathy.
