PERFORMANCE, PATIENT BENEFITS AND ACCEPTANCE OF A NEW GENERATION OF MICROPROCESSOR-CONTROLLED STANCE AND SWING CONTROL ORTHOSIS

Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2018
INTRODUCTION By enabling users to flex the orthotic leg during swing phase and safely lock it during stance phase, stance control orthosis (SCO) offers clear benefits compared to locked knee-ankle-foot-orthosis (KAFO)1.

To scan or not to scan? Comparing the effectiveness and cost differential of insoles manufactured from foam-box casts versus direct scans in treating musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle: a double-blinded, randomised controlled trial

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Foot orthoses produced using computer-aided-design and manufacture (CAD/CAM) are commonly used to treat musculoskeletal conditions of the foot and ankle, however minimal evidence exists as to the most effective method used to capture the ...

Coactivation index of children with congenital upper limb reduction deficiencies before and after using a wrist-driven 3D printed partial hand prosthesis

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2018
Background Co-contraction is the simultaneous activation of agonist and antagonist muscles that produces forces around a joint. It is unknown if the use of a wrist-driven 3D printed transitional prostheses has any influence on the neuromuscular motor ...

Load Distributing Metamaterials Via Discrete Optimization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanical metamaterials are computationally optimized to homogenize transmitted forces by minimizing the spread of reaction forces. The resulting architectures transform localized loading into broader, more uniform force distributions and experimentally demonstrate robust load spreading under quasi‐static and impact loading.

Skin‐Conformal Myography for Real‐Time Hand Tracking Using a Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensor Array

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A skin‐conformal wearable device based on laser‐induced graphene is developed for continuous strain measurement across the circumference of the forearm for gesture recognition and hand‐tracking applications. Post material optimization, the strain sensor array is integrated with a wearable wireless readout circuit for real‐time control of a robotic arm,

Reliability of muscle architecture assessment using clinical ultrasound in post-stroke patients: a systematic review

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Alterations in skeletal muscle architecture following stroke-induced neural injury serve as a major contributor to post-stroke motor impairment. Ultrasound has demonstrated promising potential for muscle assessment, however, its reliability in

Advances in the clinical application of orthotic devices for stroke and spinal cord injury since 2013

Frontiers in Neurology, 2023
Stroke and spinal cord injury are common neurological disorders that can cause various dysfunctions. Motor dysfunction is a common dysfunction that easily leads to complications such as joint stiffness and muscle contracture and markedly impairs the ...

Musculoskeletal Phenotypes of 19 Patients With X‐Linked HNRNPH2‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder: A Prospective Case Series

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Detailed clinical phenotypes have been previously reported for 33 individuals with X‐linked HNRNPH2‐related neurodevelopmental disorder. Of these, 75% self‐reported a musculoskeletal abnormality, including hip dysplasia, scoliosis, kyphosis, lordosis, pes planus, arthritis, and missing spinous processes.
