Biomechanical Response of the Lower Extremity to Running-Induced Acute Fatigue: A Systematic Review

Kamiar Aminian, Salil Apte, Gaëlle Prigent

Objective: To investigate (i) typical protocols used in research on biomechanical response to running-induced fatigue, (ii) the effect of sport-induced acute fatigue on the biomechanics of running and functional tests, and (iii) the consistency of analyzed ...

A Review on Finite Element Modeling and Simulation of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction

Dimitar Yuriev Stanev

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) constitutes one of the most important stabilizing tissues of the knee joint whose rapture is very prevalent. ACL reconstruction (ACLR) from a graft is a surgery which yields the best outcome. Taking into account the com ...

Relationships between cartilage thickness and subchondral bone mineral density in non-osteoarthritic and severely osteoarthritic knees: In vivo concomitant 3D analysis using CT arthrography

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: To test whether subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) and cartilage thickness (CTh) of femoral condyles are correlated in knees without and with severe medial femorotibial osteoarthritis (OA), using a subregional analysis with computerized tom ...

A Closed-Loop EMG-Assisted Shoulder Model

Ehsan Sarshari

The human shoulder is a complex musculoskeletal system. Knowledge about its kinematics and dynamics can help improve associated treatments. However, to date direct measurements of these quantities can be only granted through invasive investigations or expe ...

Quantitative regional and sub-regional analysis of femoral and tibial subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) using computed tomography (CT): comparison of non-osteoarthritic (OA) and severe OA knees

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: This study aimed to compare subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) between non-radiographic osteoarthritic (OA) and medial femorotibial OA knees, using computed tomography (CT). Design: CT exams from 16 non-radiographic OA (KL grade < 2) and 16 ...

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in post-stroke patients

Silvestro Micera

Background. Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demonstrat ...

Myogenic potential of canine craniofacial satellite cells

Marco Cassano

The skeletal fibers have different embryological origin; the extraocular and jaw-closer muscles develop from prechordal mesoderm while the limb and trunk muscles from somites. These different origins characterize also the adult muscle stem cells, known as ...

Soft tissue artifact assessment during treadmill walking in subjects with total knee arthroplasty

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Kamiar Aminian, Arnaud Barré

Accurate measurement of knee kinematics during functional activities suffers mainly from soft tissue artifact (STA): the combination of local surface deformations and rigid movement of markers relative to the underlying bone (also called rigid STA movement ...

Importance of the subscapularis muscle after total shoulder arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Xabier Larrea

Background: The rotator cuff muscles are the main stabilizer of the glenohumeral joint. After total shoulder arthroplasty using anterior approaches, a dysfunction of the subscapularis muscle has been reported. In the present paper we tested the hypothesis ...

How plate positioning impacts the biomechanics of the open wedge tibial osteotomy; a finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Luc Blecha

A numerical model of the medial open wedge tibial osteotomy based on the finite element method was developed. Two plate positions were tested numerically. In a configuration, (a), the plate was fixed in a medial position and (b) in an anteromedial position ...

Effects of the posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction on the biomechanics of the knee joint: a finite element analysis

Alexandre Terrier

Background. Previous experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the biomechanical effects of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; but no consensus has been reached on the preferred method of reconstruction. Methods. The 3D finite element m ...

Kinematic and EMG Determinants in Quadrupedal Locomotion of a Non-Human Primate (Rhesus)

Grégoire Courtine

We hypothesized that the activation patterns of flexor and extensor muscles and the resulting kinematics of the forelimbs and hindlimbs during locomotion in the Rhesus would have unique characteristics relative to other quadrupedal mammals. Adaptations of ...
