    High flexion kinematics and kinetics for the improvement of artificial knee joints 

    Acker, Stacey (2010-10-25)
    Total knee arthroplasty has been effective in reducing pain, but less so in restoring function, especially for activities requiring deep knee flexion. The philosophy of this dissertation was that more functionally effective ...

    An Examination of Patellofemoral Joint Function Over a Range of Tasks 

    Ashall, Myles
    Current understanding of dynamic patellofemoral joint (PFJ) mechanics in literature is limited to static or very slow in vivo measurements. Two studies were performed across a wide range of functional movements to improve ...

    Scaphoid and Lunate Carpal Mechanics Over the Spectrum of Healthy Function 

    Best, Gordon (2016-06-27)
    When ligaments within the wrist are damaged, the resulting loss in range of motion and grip strength can lead to reduced earning potential and restricted ability to perform important activities of daily living. Left ...

    Passive Lower-Limb Exoskeletons for Human Gait Assistance: Development and Evaluation 

    Zhang, Jun-Tian
    Walking is the basis of human locomotion. With an increasing aging population, the need for devices that assist human walking are in demand. While several simple devices exist such as canes, braces, and walkers, to assist ...

    Estimating Body Segment Inertial Parameters of the Human Body Using a Microsoft Kinect 

    Kudzia, Pawel (2015-10-28)
    Estimating biomechanical measures of the human body requires body segment inertial parameters (BSIP). Widely cited estimation methods (Chandler et al., 1975; Dempster, 1955) are based on an elderly population, have inherent ...

    An Open-Source Device for Tendon Actuated Wrist Motion 

    Pearson, Matthew
    A wrist motion simulator or wrist motion actuator is a system that actuates a cadaver wrist to control the joint and move it through a variety of motions. Active wrist motion actuators apply forces directly to the tendons ...
