Enhanced Mid-Flexion Stability in Cruciate-Sacrificing Total Knee Replacement: Impact of Optimized Implant Designs Investigated Using Musculoskeletal Multibody Simulation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Total knee replacement (TKR) is a successful intervention for relieving pain and improving quality of life. In this context, mid‐flexion instability and paradoxical anterior femoral movement remain challenging. However, the role of implant design in cruciate‐sacrificing (CS) scenarios is unclear.

A Screw-Axis Approach to the Stability of Two-Wheeled Vehicles
The stability of two-wheeled vehicles is predominantly characterized by the well-known weave and wobble vibration modes, which have been extensively investigated in the literature, mainly in terms of their frequencies and damping ratios. In this work the

Estimation of muscular forces from SSA smoothed sEMG signals calibrated by inverse dynamics-based physiological static optimization [PDF]
The estimation of muscular forces is useful in several areas such as biomedical or rehabilitation engineering. As muscular forces cannot be measured in vivo non-invasively they must be estimated by using indirect measurements such as surface ...
