Influence of Rotator Cuff Integrity on Loading and Kinematics Before and After Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty (RSA) has become a very common procedure for shoulder joint replacement, even for scenarios where an anatomical reconstruction would traditionally be used. In this study, we investigate joint reaction forces and scapular kinematics for rotator cuff tears of different tendons with and without a reverse prosthesis. Available

The Markov model of a dynamic system based on experimental data for control problems of bionic prostheses [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 This article is devoted to a prediction of gait kinematics based on the Markov chains in the delay space. We use hypercubic grid in the delay space of angles in the sagittal plane in the knee and hip joints to construct Markov states. Our experimental signal (obtained from the telemetry of the prosthesis) provides transition probabilities.

Distal Radioulnar Joint Arthroplasty with a Scheker Prosthesis
Radiology Case Reports, 2006 We report a case of distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthroplasty with a Scheker prosthesis. Arthropathy of the DRUJ can occur as the result of a variety of mechanisms, including inflammatory arthritis, osteoarthritis, and post-traumatic arthritis. Resection of the distal ulna is often performed to relieve pain at the DRUJ. However, this can also disrupt
