Numerical Measurement of a Virtual Model for the Knee Prosthesis Geometry
Applied Sciences, 2021 The human knee joint usually suffers progressive deterioration with time. The conventional cure of this issue is to replace it with an alternate knee by applying the prosthesis implant.

Revision of tumor prosthesis of the knee joint [PDF]
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 2011 BACKGROUND: Among 40 patients with primary malignant tumors of the knee joint who underwent reconstruction of the affected limb with tumor prosthesis, revision was required in 7 due to stem breakage or loosening. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In the 7 cases undergoing revision, conditions and background factors at the time of breakage, the breakage site, time

Cosmetic effect of knee joint in a knee disarticulation prosthesis [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 2014 Despite numerous advantages, knee disarticulations (KDs) are rarely performed because of the anticipated KD prosthesis fitting problems that include the positioning of the knee joint distally from the KD socket. This results in lengthening of the thigh and subsequent shortening of the shank. The objective of this study was to assess the cosmetic effect

How should we assess the mechanical properties of lower-limb prosthesis technology used in elite sport?: An initial investigation [PDF]
, 2013 Despite recent controversy, it is not yet formally recognised how lower-limb prosthesis should be assessed for their performance. To assist in this process, experiments are undertaken to investigate the linearity, stiffness and assessment of feet based ...

ARTHROPLASTY OF THE KNEE BY THE WALLDLUS PROSTHESIS [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1968 1. Forty-five arthroplasties of the knee with the Walldius prosthesis are reported in forty-two patients, thirty-seven with rheumatoid arthritis and five with osteoarthritis. 2. There has been no structural failure of the prosthesis. 3. Sepsis required removal of the prosthesis in three cases, but arthrodesis was obtained in two of the three.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019 Individuals with lower limb amputation commonly exhibit large gait asymmetries that are associated with secondary health issues. It has been shown that they are capable of attaining improved temporal and propulsive symmetry when walking with a powered ...
