Use of stance control knee-ankle-foot orthoses : a review of the literature [PDF]
, 2013 The use of stance control orthotic knee joints are becoming increasingly popular as unlike locked knee-ankle-foot orthoses, these joints allow the limb to swing freely in swing phase while providing stance phase stability, thus aiming to promote a more ...

Dynamic coupling characteristics of a semiactive knee prosthesis [PDF]
, 2013 This paper characterises the dynamic coupling interaction between the thigh and an electrical semi-active above knee prosthesis. This prosthetic knee works as a passive knee in part of the gait cycle phases and as an active knee prosthesis during other ...

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Patients who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) may later require total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to osteoarthritis (OA). The impact of previous ACLR on patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) after TKA remains uncertain.

Biomechanical analysis of fixed bearing and mobile bearing total knee prostheses [PDF]
In total knee replacement (TKR) surgery, mobile bearing (MB) total knee prostheses were designed to more closely mimic the function of the normal knee than traditional fixed bearing (FB) designs by allowing axial mobility between the polyethylene insert ...

Acute, recurrent total knee dislocation: Polyethylene dislocation and malreduction
Arthroplasty Today, 2015 A 62-year-old man underwent total knee arthroplasty using a mobile-bearing prosthesis. Four days post-operatively the patient experienced the first of several acute knee dislocations. Closed reduction was performed at an outside hospital a total of three

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Purpose Rates and time to return to physical activity (PA) or sports following knee arthroplasty remain poorly explored in the current literature. This systematic review with meta‐analysis aimed to synthesise the return to PA or sports after knee arthroplasty, comparing between total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and unicompartmental knee ...

Development and Examination of a Knee Prosthesis Geometry [PDF]
, 2019 The necessity for the knee prosthesis is confirmed by the large increase in the number of patients suffering from arthrosis, which is a present-day disease. Despite this need, there doesn’t exist an optimal knee prosthesis.

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose Data on the reliability of point‐of‐care (POC) tests for the rapid diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) using synovial fluid (SF) D‐dimer (DD), interleukin 6 (IL‐6) and procalcitonin (PCT) are limited. This study aimed to address this issue by evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of POC tests for SF DD, IL‐6 and PCT in ...

Mechanical work performed by individual limbs of transfemoral amputees during step-to-step transitions: Effect of walking velocity [PDF]
, 2014 The greater metabolic demand during the gait of people with a transfemoral amputation limits their autonomy and walking velocity. Major modifications of the kinematic and kinetic patterns of transfemoral amputee gait quantified using gait analysis may ...
