3D‐Printing Aided Rapid Prototyping of Pretensioned Tensegrity Structures for Robotic Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Printing, injection molding, and assembly (PMA) is a method for rapid prototyping mesoscale, topologically complex, and tensioned tensegrity structures. In combination with PMA method, two mold design strategies: modular mold and compact channel layout, enable efficiency and scalability for tensegrity fabrication.

Introducing PNEUMA: A Hybrid Soft Pneumatic Fabric Bidirectional Actuation Module for Wearable Robotics

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study presents a soft pneumatic fabric bidirectional actuation module (PNEUMA) capable of generating high torque in both bending directions within a single integrated architecture. PNEUMA achieves up to 50 Nm with reduced inflation volume and a lightweight design.

Biomechanical analysis of fixed bearing and mobile bearing total knee prostheses [PDF]

In total knee replacement (TKR) surgery, mobile bearing (MB) total knee prostheses were designed to more closely mimic the function of the normal knee than traditional fixed bearing (FB) designs by allowing axial mobility between the polyethylene insert ...

First outcome results after total knee and hip replacement from the Lithuanian arthroplasty register

Medicina, 2014
Background and objective: In 2010, the Lithuanian Association of Arhtroplasty was established and on January 1, 2011, initiated a national study of all reoperations after total knee (TKR) and total hip replacement (THR) in Lithuania. The aim of the study

Combating Inflammation and Promoting Anabolism in Osteoarthritic Cartilage Defect With an MMP13‐Sensing Dual‐Drug Scaffold

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint condition marked by progressive cartilage breakdown, and a chronic inflammatory microenvironment, where conventional therapies largely fail to halt disease progression. To address this unmet need, an intra‐articularly implantable, disease‐responsive scaffold was developed for combinatorial

Enhanced pre-clinical assessment of total knee replacement using computational modelling with experimental corroboration & probabilistic applications

, 2009
Demand for Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery is high and rising; not just in numbers of procedures, but in the diversity of patient demographics and increase of expectations.

Ethical Precision in Nanoscale Brain Interfacing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As brain interfaces approach the nanoscale, precision no longer only measures—it knows, predicts, and potentially reshapes the mind. This work argues that traditional ethics fails under such conditions and proposes a shift toward continuous, operation‐based governance using the recovery–discovery framework to track, constrain, and responsibly steer ...

Targeted computational probabilistic corroboration of experimental knee wear simulator: the importance of accounting for variability [PDF]

, 2011
Experimental testing is widely used to predict wear of total knee replacement (TKR) devices. Computational models cannot replace this essential in vitro testing, but they do have complementary strengths and capabilities, which make in silico models a ...

Heterotopic ossification following total knee replacement surgery

Journal of Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences, 2013
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a less known but an agonizing complication after primary total knee arthroplasty (TKR). Early detection can help in avoiding it so that the patient returns back to normal ambulatory life at the earliest.
