Offloader knee braces for knee osteoarthritis
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.

Wilbrand's Knee: To Be or Not to Be a Knee? [PDF]
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.

Aims: Outcomes of current operative treatments for arthrofibrosis after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are not consistently positive or predictable. Pharmacological in vivo studies have focused mostly on prevention of arthrofibrosis.

A quasilinear differential inclusion for viscous and rate-independent damage systems in non-smooth domains [PDF]
This paper focuses on (incomplete) rate-independent damage in elastic bodies. Since the driving energy is nonconvex, solutions may have jumps as a function of time, and in this situation it is known that the classical concept of energetic solutions for ...

Quasi optimal sagittal gait of a biped robot with a new structure of knee joint [PDF]
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

Golfing after Orthopaedic Surgery: A longitudinal follow-up (GOLF) study protocol
Aims: The primary aim of this prospective, multicentre study is to describe the rates of returning to golf following hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder arthroplasty in an active golfing population. Secondary aims will include determining the timing of return

Convergence of alternate minimization schemes for phase field fracture and damage [PDF]
We consider time-discrete evolutions for a phase field model (for fracture and damage) obtained by alternate minimization schemes. First, we characterize their time-continuous limit in terms of parametrized $BV$-evolutions, introducing a suitable family
