Continuous wearing of high-heeled shoes may cause the calf muscles to contract and may lead to sore knees and a painful back, because the lumbar spine goes into increased lordotic posture to maintain the center of gravity in its normal position. In addition, these shoes increase the potential ...
In addition to confidence, future exoskeleton designs may need to continue in to be development with consideration of user feedback and incorporation of design features such as smaller, lightweight, tailor-made, comfortable, and durable [Citation188]. The FEA2 design model, which includes the user...
(4) energy expend- iture, which quantifies the effort and metabolic energy consumption needed when using the device; (5) usabil- ity and comfort, which evaluates the ergonomics and the subjective feedback of the user; and (6) biomechanics, which contains the kinematic and kinetic metrics. ...
[16]. Hardiman's hydraulic and motor drive structure overcame the power shortage of the “MAN-Amplifier”. Combined with a synergy feedback sensor system, Hardiman could not only sense the intention of the wearer's movement but also amplify the user's force by 25 times. However, it could ...
Hip abductor moment demonstrated a two-peak pattern, the first peak being corresponding to the acceptance of body weight transferred from the contralateral side, and the second peak to the control of the body weight transferred back to the contralateral side. An eccentric abductor power at the ...
The endpoint serum dilution was calculated with curve fit analysis of optical density (OD) values for serially diluted sera with a cut-off value set to three times the background signal. ELISpot assay MultiScreen-HA filter 96-well plates (Millipore) plates were pre-coated with 3 μg/ml of...
There are two completely different approaches to the management of isolated lower-extremity long-bone fractures: (a) primary definitive fixation and (b) a two-stage procedure with secondary definitive fixation. These two treatment approaches or a combination of treatment approaches can also be used ...
The Pleistocene Epoch is a period of time that lasted from 2.6 million years ago to 11,700 years ago. This period was characterized by the presence of large ice sheets and glaciers that covered the majority of the surface f the earth. T...
Exoskeleton robot-assisted physical therapy has recently been studied extensively due to its proven effectiveness in providing different forms of physical
In addition, several other factors including variable expressivity, incomplete penetrance, difference in genetic background, environmental influence and epigenetic phenomena probably played roles in developing differential phenotypes in human. Presence of long/short tibia phenotype in the knockout mice ...
