Development of a Grasshopper‐Leg‐Inspired Back‐Type Exoskeleton for the Reduction of Muscle Activation During Stoop Activities

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Exosome‐Based Cartilage‐Targeted Delivery System: Strategies and Applications

Small Science, EarlyView.
Construction strategies and applications of cartilage‐targeting exosomes. With the ageing of the global population, cartilage‐related diseases, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), have increasingly become significant social problems threatening human health. Therefore, targeted therapy for cartilage is becoming more

BIOCHEMICAL AND BIOMECHANICAL SUBSTANTIATION OF REPARATIVE REGENERATION OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISCS IN PATIENTS WITH DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASES

Східноукраїнський медичний журнал, 2020
Degenerative disc diseases occupy the second place in the overall structure of morbidity with temporary disability. In 40% of patients with spinal osteochondrosis, diseases of the locomotor apparatus and connective tissue cause primary disability.

Postoperative low dose CT assessment of interbody fusion two years after thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery [PDF]

, 2011
The relationship between radiologic union and clinical outcomes in thoracoscopic scoliosis surgery is not clear, as apparent non-union of a spinal fusion does not always correspond to a poor clinical result.

Emerging Triboelectric Nanogenerators for In‐Body Implantation

Small Methods, EarlyView.
This review explores functional implantable triboelectric nanogenerators in biomedical applications, discussing their mechanisms, electricity generation, and design approaches. To solve postimplantation challenges, four types of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are introduced: stretchable, bioadhesive, on‐demand biodegradable, and multiresponsive ...
