Offloader knee braces for knee osteoarthritis
Medwave, 2021 INTRODUCTION Knee osteoarthritis is a relevant health problem given its high prevalence and associated disability. Within the non-pharmacological management alternatives, the use of offloader knee braces has been proposed, however, there is no consensus in the literature regarding its indication.

Impact of the diaphyseal femoral deformity on the lower limb alignment in osteoarthritic varus knees
Bone & Joint Open, 2023 Aims: The impact of a diaphyseal femoral deformity on knee alignment varies according to its severity and localization. The aims of this study were to determine a method of assessing the impact of diaphyseal femoral deformities on knee alignment for the ...

Wilbrand's Knee: To Be or Not to Be a Knee? [PDF]
Journal of Neuro-Ophthalmology, 2020 Abstract: Wilbrand's knee of the optic chiasm refers to crossing fibers from one optic nerve that stray for a short distance into the opposite optic nerve before joining the optic tract. This loop of aberrant axons, although small, has generated much controversy.

Balanced viscosity solutions to a rate-independent system for damage
, 2018 This article is the third one in a series of papers by the authors on vanishing-viscosity solutions to rate-independent damage systems. While in the first two papers (Knees, D. et al. 2013 Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci.23(4), 565–616; Knees, D.

Quasi optimal sagittal gait of a biped robot with a new structure of knee joint [PDF]
, 2013 The design of humanoid robots has been a tricky challenge for several years. Due to the kinematic complexity of human joints, their movements are notoriously difficult to be reproduced by a mechanism. The human knees allow movements including rolling and

Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection: a validation study of blood cell ratio combinations
Bone & Joint Open, 2023 Aims: The diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be challenging as the symptoms are similar to other conditions, and the markers used for diagnosis have limited sensitivity and specificity.

Total knee arthroplasty in the valgus knee [PDF]
International Orthopaedics, 2013 Valgus knee deformity is a challenge in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and it is observed in nearly 10% of patients undergoing TKA. The valgus deformity is sustained by anatomical variations divided into bone remodelling and soft tissue contraction/elongation.

Influence of frictions on gait optimization of a biped robot with an anthropomorphic knee [PDF]
, 2013 This paper presents the energy consumption of a biped robot with a new modelled structure of knees which is called rolling knee (RK). The dynamic model, the actuators and the friction coefficients of the gear box are known. The optimal energy consumption
