Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles

Design and evaluation of a ball spline wasp-inspired needle

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
In percutaneous interventions, needles are used to reach target locations inside the body. However, when the needle is pushed through the tissue, forces arise at the needle tip and along the needle body, making the needle prone to buckling.
