One of the most important case in humanoid robot designing is hand, which it consider as an country development. High percentage of robot work quality depend on hand capability. A robot function increase with hand movement. One of important movement in artificial hand capability relate to fingers lateral movement. This case has more effect intake of special objects such as round shape or moving...

The choice of suitable robots in manufacturing, to improve product quality and to increase productivity, is a complicated decision due to the increase in robot manufacturers and configurations. In this article, a novel approach is proposed to choose among alternatives, differently assessed by decision makers on different criteria, to make the final evaluation for decision-making. The approach i...

Introduction: Since palmaris longus tendon is the first choice for grafting, its anatomical variation is important. This study was designed to find the anatomical variations of this tendon in Iranian population by performing a study on cadaver. Method: In this study, 150 forearms belonged to 75 cadavers were studied. After exploring the proximal end of tendon, tendon width was measured at its p...

This paper introduces a novel kinematic model for tendon-driven compliant torso mechanism humanoid robots, which describes the complex behaviour of system characterised by interaction element with rigid bodies and actuation tendons. Inspired human spine, proposed is based on flexible backbone whose shape controlled two pairs antagonistic First, structure analysed to identify main modes motion. ...

Objectives- Tendons are integral parts of musculoskeletal system and are subjected to injury. Fibroblast is used in tendon healing, however, there is no proved and reported result regarding concurrent use of allogenic fibroblast with static magnetic field in tendon healing. In addition, there are some studies done on the effect of magnetic fields on tendon healing but the results are antithesis...

In this study, the role of local injection of butyric acid (BA) with autogenous omental graft was evaluated in healing of experimental Achilles tendon injury in rabbits. Nine adult male New Zealand rabbits were anesthetized and a partial thickness tenotomy was created on both hindlimbs. In treated group, omental graft was secured in place using BA soaked polygalactin 910 suture. In control grou...

The theory of acoustic, electromagnetic and elastic wave fields in terms of governing equations, plane waves, spherical waves (Green functions) and scattered field representations is discussed under common aspects leading to a unified derivation of modeling and imaging algorithms. The latter require a linearization of the inverse scattering problem. Applications referring to the location and as...

In this paper we show a method for identifying ligament tears in MRI scans. We present a new algorithm that builds a spatial pyramid over the tendon invariant to scale and orientation changes of the tendon. We analyze the performance of both LLC encoded texton features and Intensity histograms for building extracting features from the pyramid regions. Figure 1. A cropped MRI of a damaged Patell...
