Design and Evaluation of the LOPES Exoskeleton Robot for Interactive Gait Rehabilitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
This paper introduces a newly developed gait rehabilitation device. The device, called LOPES, combines a freely translatable and 2-D-actuated pelvis segment with a leg exoskeleton containing three actuated rotational joints: two at the hip and one at the

Interventional Management for Pelvic Trauma

open access: yesJournal of the Korean Society of Radiology, 2023
Traumatic pelvic injuries usually include high-energy crush injuries and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Mortality rates range from 6% to 15% and increase to 36%– 54% in cases of fractures that result in increased pelvic volume.

Correction of megavoltage cone-beam CT images of the pelvic region based on phantom measurements for dose calculation purposes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Megavoltage cone-beam CT (MVCBCT) is an imaging technology that provides a 3D representation of the patient in treatment position. Because it is a form of x-ray tomography, MVCBCT images give information about the attenuation coefficients of the imaged ...

Skin Displacement as fascia tissue manipulation at the lower back affects instantaneously the flexion-and extension spine, pelvis, and hip range of motion

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Low back pain (LBP), associated with spine, pelvis, and hip mobility impairments can be caused by tight muscle contractions, to protect sensitized lumbar fasciae. Fascia tissue manipulations are used to treat lumbar fascia in LBP.

A Wider Pelvis Does Not Increase Locomotor Cost in Humans, with Implications for the Evolution of Childbirth

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
The shape of the human female pelvis is thought to reflect an evolutionary trade-off between two competing demands: a pelvis wide enough to permit the birth of large-brained infants, and narrow enough for efficient bipedal locomotion.
