Primary stability of cementless threaded acetabular cups at first implantation and in the case of revision regarding micromotions as indicators [PDF]
, 2012 The primary stability of cementless total hip endoprosthesis is of vital importance for proximate, long-term osteointegration. The extent of micromotions between implant and acetabulum is an indicator of primary stability.

Stable Imitation of Multigait and Bipedal Motions for Quadrupedal Robots Over Uneven Terrains
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.How are quadrupedal robots empowered to execute complex navigation tasks, including multigait and bipedal motions? Challenges in stability and real‐world adaptation persist, especially with uneven terrains and disturbances. This article presents an imitation learning framework that enhances adaptability and robustness by incorporating long short‐term ...

Effect of Leg Length Discrepancy to the Hip Function on Post Hemiarthroplasty Patients in Jember
Journal of Agromedicine and Medical Sciences (AMS), 2017 Hip fractures in elderly patient are often treated with hemiarthroplasty. Hemiarthroplasty can cause various complications, one of which is leg legth descrepancy (LLD). The function of the hip joint is reduced due to these complications. Previous studies

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,
