Actuators, 2014 A monoarticular series elastic actuator (SEA) reduces energetic and peak power requirements compared to a direct drive (DD) in active prosthetic ankle-foot design. Simulation studies have shown that similar advantages are possible for the knee joint. The

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Dystrophin Dp71 is an isoform produced from the Dp71 promoter in intron 62 of the DMD gene, mutations in which cause Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Dp71 is involved in various cellular processes and comprises more than 10 isoforms produced by alternative ...

Biophysical Journal, 1972 The hydromechanics of spirilla locomotion is analyzed by considering the balance of both rectilinear and angular momenta of the surrounding viscous fluid which is otherwise at rest. The physical model of Spirillum adopted for the present analysis consists of a rigid helical body with flagella attached to both ends of the helix.

Bridging Locomotion and Manipulation Using Reconfigurable Robotic Limbs via Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
, 2023 Locomotion and manipulation are two essential skills in robotics but are often divided or decoupled into two separate problems. It is widely accepted that the topological duality between multi-legged locomotion and multi-fingered manipulation shares an ...

Ecological Burden of Modern Surgery: An Analysis of Total Knee Replacement’s Life Cycle
Arthroplasty Today, 2023 Background: It is estimated that surgical procedures account for 20%-30% of the greenhouse gases emissions from health-care systems. Total knee replacements (TKR) are one of the most frequently performed procedures in orthopaedics.

Thermodynamics of Animal Locomotion [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2020 Muscles are biological actuators extensively studied in the frame of Hill's classic empirical model as isolated biomechanical entities, which hardly applies to a living organism subjected to physiological and environmental constraints. Here we elucidate the overarching principle of a \emph{living} muscle action for locomotion, considering it from the ...
