Assessing activity in joint replacement patients

Journal of Arthroplasty, 1998
Outcome evaluations of lower extremity joint reconstructions should include an assessment of patient activity. In vivo wear assessments of total joint prostheses should be based on a measure of use, not time in situ or a proxy such as age or gender; however, clinicians lack a simple method to reliably assess the activity of patients with joint ...

Active knee joint flexibility and sports activity

Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports, 1999
The aim of the study was to estimate active knee flexion and active knee extension in athletes and to investigate the potential association of each to different types of sports activity. Active knee extension and active knee flexion was measured in 339 athletes.

Active rigidity joint

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
Unimorph active rigidity joints, constructed from Shape Memory Alloy and Shape Memory Polymer and capable of bending actuation, are reported in this work. An embedded aluminum shim was added to each joint as a structural element to facilitate actuation. Joints were actuated using ohmic Tri-Phase and pulse heating processes with different results. It

Effects of Joint Mobilization on Joint Stiffness and Active Motion of the Metacarpal-Phalangeal Joint

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 1992
Joint mobilization is a common technique used to restore joint motion; however, documentation of its effectiveness is lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine if joint mobilization is effective in counteracting joint stiffness and decreased active range of motion of the metacarpal-phalangeal joint.

Active exploration of joint dependency structures

2015 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2015
Being able to manipulate degrees of freedom of the environment, such as doors or drawers, is a requirement for most tasks a robot is supposed to perform. Often these external degrees of freedom depend on other ones, e.g., a drawer can only be opened if the lock is not locking the joint. We propose an approach to autonomously and efficiently explore and

Adenosine Deaminase Activity in Joint Effusions

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 1988
The activity of adenosine deaminase (ADA) was determined in serum and synovial fluid of 98 patients with joint effusions of various causes. Compared with osteoarthritis, there were significantly higher mean synovial fluid ADA activities in seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (p less than 0.01), chronic seronegative polyarthritis (p less than 0.001 ...
