Prevalence and functional impact of patient-perceived leg length discrepancy after hip replacement [PDF]

, 2008
The aim of this survey was to determine the prevalence of patient-perceived leg length discrepancy (LLD) after primary total hip replacement (THR) and its impact on functional outcome.

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.

A mathematical model for predicting postoperative leg shortening after curved intertrochanteric varus osteotomy for osteonecrosis of the femoral head.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Despite good clinical outcomes associated with curved intertrochanteric varus osteotomy for the treatment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head, post-operative leg-length discrepancy is frequently reported and might reduce patient satisfaction.

Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Leg Length Discrepancy in Total Hip Arthroplasty with the use of Cemented and Uncemented Femoral Stems. A Prospective Radiological Study

, 2009
Leg length discrepancy may occur following total hip arthroplasty, with a potentially impaired functional outcome as a result. The aim of this study was to compare the leg length discrepancy between both cemented and uncemented femoral stems when used in

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

An unusual clinical presentation of nontraumatic myositis ossificans: Leg length discrepancy. [PDF]

Turk J Phys Med Rehabil
Functional leg length discrepancy results from soft tissue tightness or weakness across any joint in the lower extremity or spine. Herein, we present a 23-year-old female patient with leg length discrepancy due to a nontraumatic myositis ossificans (MO).

Echinoderm‐Inspired Autonomy for Soft‐Legged Robots

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Inspired by echinoderms, a modular soft robot achieves autonomous phototaxis without a central controller or explicit communication. Each limb independently adapts its actuation timing through local sensing and short‐term memory. Coordination emerges purely from physical interactions, demonstrating resilience to changes in morphology, environment, and ...
