Deficits in extension can limit the function and performance of the knee joint. The range of motion (ROM) deficit in knee extension is often measured and reported at a single torque value applied in the flexion-extension axis. This static measurement

Joint contractures alter the mechanical properties of articular and muscular structures. Reversibility of a contracture depends on the restoration of the elasticity of both structures. We determined the differential contribution of articular and musc

Currently, stance-control knee orthoses require external control mechanisms to control knee flexion during stance and allow free knee motion during the swing phase of gait. A new angular-velocity control approach that uses a rotary-hydraulic device t

Background Knee flexion contractures prevent the full extension of the knee joint and cause disability. The etiology is not well defined. Extended periods of immobilization of joints lead to contractures difficult to completely reverse by rehabilitat

To design novel quantitative methods to evaluate the irregularity of articular cartilage surface; and to apply these methods for assessment of surface irregularity in a rat knee contracture model.A total of 117 rat knees were either immobilized or sh

Animal models for joint diseases are necessary for in vivo studies. Joint contractures are characterized by lack of the normal range of motion of a joint most often due to increased soft tissue stiffness. Biological and biochemical data have been obt

INTRODUCTION Stance-control orthoses (SCOs) are lower-limb assistive devices that prevent knee collapse during weight-bearing while allowing free knee motion during the swing phase of gait [1-18]. The methods of controlling and applying knee-flexion

An adapter was designed to hold a negative cast of a torso in position for mechanical digitization. Once a spinal shape is digitized, the data file can be loaded into a CAD CAM system for modification and manufacturing of a positive model for an orth

Prosthetic wrists need to be compact. By minimizing space requirements, a wrist unit can be made for people with long residual limbs. This prosthetic wrist uses two motors arranged across the arm within the envelope of the hand. The drive is transmit
