Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Knee arthrodesis with modular megaprosthesis as salvage procedure for the limb following in a patient with an infected knee tumor prosthesis: A case report

Trauma Case Reports
Introduction: The management of periprosthetic knee infections is a complex event, especially in the context of megaprostheses. An accepted option in these cases is knee arthrodesis, aiming to salvage the limb with acceptable and pain-free functionality.

Walking kinematics in young children with limb loss using early versus traditional prosthetic knee prescription protocols.

PLoS ONE, 2020
The traditional treatment protocol for young children with congenital or acquired amputations at or proximal to the knee prescribes a prosthesis without a working knee joint, based in part on the assumption that a child learning to walk cannot properly ...
