The mechanics of the knee and prosthesis design [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1978 The mechanisms controlling and limiting movement and serving to transmit load between the femur and the tibia are discussed. Having accounted for the transmission of all components of force and couple across the joint and noted the load-bearing role of the menisci, some principles which might guide the design of knee prostheses are deduced.

Towards Expedited Impedance Tuning of a Robotic Prosthesis for Personalized Gait Assistance by Reinforcement Learning Control [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2021, 2020 Personalizing medical devices such as lower limb wearable robots is challenging. While the initial feasibility of automating the process of knee prosthesis control parameter tuning has been demonstrated in a principled way, the next critical issue is to improve tuning efficiency and speed it up for the human user, in clinic settings, while maintaining ...

Revista Española de Cirugía Ortopédica y Traumatología (English Edition), 2009 Abstract Prosthetic instability is the third most frequent cause for the failure of total knee replacement (TKR), which leads to between 10% and 22% of surgical revisions. In addition to individual factors such as previous instabilities or deformities, an associated neuromuscular condition, rheumatoid arthritis or obesity, the main causes for ...

Musculoskeletal Care, Volume 20, Issue 4, Page 860-872, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objective Hip and knee osteoarthritis guidelines internationally provide consistent first‐line care recommendations. However, uptake of these recommendations remains suboptimal. This qualitative study explores factors influencing guideline‐based care from the perspectives of physiotherapists working in specialised osteoarthritis services ...
