Influence of Different Sterilization Methods on the Surface Chemistry and Electrochemical Behavior of Biomedical Alloys

Stefano Mischler, Anna Neus Igual Muñoz, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Sterilization is a prerequisite for biomedical devices before contacting the human body. It guarantees the lack of infection by eliminating microorganisms (i.e., bacteria, spores and fungi). It constitutes the last fabrication process of a biomedical devic ...

Walking with Different Insoles Changes Lower-Limb Biomechanics Globally in Patients with Medial Knee Osteoarthritis

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Using insoles to modify walking biomechanics is of keen interest for the treatment of medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis. So far, insole interventions have focused on reducing the peak of the knee adduction moment (pKAM) and have led to inconsistent cl ...

Spatiotemporal parameters during turning gait maneuvers of different amplitudes in young and elderly healthy adults: A descriptive and comparative study

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background: Turning during walking adds complexity to gait and has been little investigated until now. Research question What are the differences in spatiotemporal parameters between young and elderly healthy adults performing quarter-turns (90 degrees), h ...

Walking with shorter stride length could improve knee kinetics of patients with medial knee osteoarthritis

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Walking with a shorter stride length (SL) was recently proposed for gait retraining in medial knee osteoarthritis; however it was never assessed in this patient population. This study tested the hypothesis that shortening SL while maintaining walking speed ...

Between/within-session reliability of spinal kinematic and lumbar muscle activity measures in patients with chronic low back pain and asymptomatic individuals

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background: Longitudinal research is required to better understand the role of spinal movement alterations in chronic low back pain (CLBP). To this end, it is critical to assess the between-session reliability of spinal movement measures. ...

An Expert-Supervised Registration Method for Multiparameter Description of the Knee Joint Using Serial Imaging

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

As knee osteoarthritis is a disease of the entire joint, our pathophysiological understanding could be improved by the characterization of the relationships among the knee components. Diverse quantitative parameters can be characterized using magnetic reso ...

Reduction in pain-related fear is not associated with improvement in spinal biomechanics but with decrease in movement-evoked pain in patients with chronic low back pain

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Background and aims: While a causal relationship between pain-related fear and spinal movement avoidance in patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) has frequently been postulated, evidence supporting this relationship is limited. This study aimed to tes ...
