Time History Gaussian Process Regression for Modeling the Dynamics of Ankle Exoskeleton User Comfort

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Exoskeletons need to be comfortable, but the perception of comfort may change over time. This study investigated if short‐term time history directly influences comfort. No previous trials’ input features were predictive of comfort. Including the previous trial's comfort score marginally improved model accuracy compared to a model using only the current

Enhancing Amphibious Flipper‐Based Locomotion Through Terrain‐Dependent Bayesian Optimization of Central Pattern Generator Control

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A sea turtle‐inspired amphibious robot uses simulation‐guided optimization to adapt its flipper coordination to different environments. Sensitivity analysis and multiobjective Bayesian optimization identify terrain‐dependent controllers that are validated on hardware.

Combating Inflammation and Promoting Anabolism in Osteoarthritic Cartilage Defect With an MMP13‐Sensing Dual‐Drug Scaffold

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition marked by progressive cartilage breakdown, and a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, where conventional therapies largely fail to halt disease progression. To address this unmet need, an intra‐articularly implantable, disease‐responsive scaffold was developed for combinatorial

Continuous passive motion and its effects on knee flexion after total knee arthroplasty in patients with knee osteoarthritis

, 2017
This study evaluated the effects of continuous passive motion (CPM) on accelerated flexion after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and whether CPM application measures (i.e. initial angle and daily increment) are associated with functional outcomes.

Engineering Approaches to Modify Immunomodulatory Functions of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs): Tissue Regeneration and Clinical Application

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise for treating immune‐related disorders through immunomodulation and tissue regeneration. This review gives a brief overview of current clinical approval of MSC therapies. It also discussed how bioengineering, including genetic modification, biomaterial delivery, extracellular vesicles, and iPSC‐derived MSCs,

The relationship between subjective knee function and psychological readiness to return to sport after ACL injury: A cross-sectional study

Journal Sport Area
Background: Athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries often reduce or stop sports participation due to fear of re-injury and low confidence in their injured knee. While most studies emphasize physical recovery, fewer explore how subjective

A Clinical Study of Decellularized Tissue Engineering Hyaline Cartilage Graft (dLhCG) for Articular Cartilage Repair

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current clinical approaches for knee cartilage repair are often limited by hypertrophy and fibrosis in the regenerated tissues. A decellularized tissue‐engineered hyaline cartilage graft (dLhCG), composed of a type II collagen‐based extracellular matrix, has been developed to overcome this limitation.

Comparative Effects of Therapeutic Exercise versus Muscle Energy Technique Combined with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation on Pain, Range of Motion, and Functional Outcomes after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Pilot Study

Journal of Orthopaedic Case Reports
Introduction: Aim and Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is frequently followed by post-operative pain, restricted knee range of motion (ROM), and functional limitations.

The effects of muscle fatigue on knee function during landing [PDF]

, 2010
The human knee acts as a sophisticated shock absorber during landing movements. The ability of the knee to perform this function in the real world is remarkable given that the context of the landing movement may vary widely between performances. For this
