Biomechanical and clinical evaluation of a newly designed polycentric knee of transfemoral prosthesis.
We have designed a new polycentric knee adopting a hydraulic unit and an intelligent mechanism. The biomechanical parameters of this prototype, such as the stance duration, peak knee flexion angle in stance and swing, peak hip flexion angle, and peak hip extension moments were analyzed at three different cadences (88, 96, 104 steps/min) in three amputees, and then compared to those of polycentr...
متن کاملA Bench-top Prototype of a Variable Stiffness Prosthesis
A prototype of a variable stiffness prosthetic joint has been constructed and tested. The joint is based on two actuator subsystems arranged in an antagonistic configuration. Each actuator subsystem is composed of a small, high-speed electric motor, a single stage, worm-gear based transmission and a nonlinear stiffness element. Each nonlinear stiffness element is composed of a set of short sect...
متن کاملThe implant-supported telescopic prosthesis: a biomechanical analysis.
This in vitro project investigated load transfer through screw-retained telescopic prostheses. Three Brånemark System implants incorporating strain gauges were embedded in an aluminum block. Telescopic prostheses that included 1 mesial and 1 distal cantilever were fabricated over 1 central EsthetiCone and 2 Ti-Adapt abutments. The buffering capacity of the cement in a combined screw-retained/ce...
متن کاملCochlear implantation: a biomechanical prosthesis for hearing loss
Cochlear implants are a medical prosthesis used to treat sensorineural deafness, and one of the greatest advances in modern medicine. The following article is an overview of cochlear implant technology. The history of cochlear implantation and the development of modern implant technology will be discussed, as well as current surgical techniques. Research regarding expansion of candidacy, hearin...
متن کاملBiomechanical evaluation of cervical disc replacement with a novel prosthesis based on the physiological curvature of endplate
BACKGROUND Most of the current available cervical disc prostheses present a flat surface instead of an arcuate surface which is most similar to the morphology of cervical endplate. Therefore, we designed a novel prosthesis (Pretic-I, Trauson) based on the physiological curvature of the cervical endplate. Biomechanical evaluation of cervical disc replacement (CDR) with this novel prosthesis was ...
