Walking ability has been assessed in 20 patients before and after knee replacement. In 8, who had severe osteoarthritis, a bicompartmental ICLH (Imperial College-London Hospital) prosthesis was used; in 12, with moderate arthritis, the medial side of the joint was replaced by a unicompartmental...

This work is concerned with the lubrication analysis of artificial knee joints, which plays an increasing significant role in clinical performance and longevity of components. Time-dependent elastohydrodynamic lubrication analysis for normal total knee replacement is carried out under the cyclic variation in...

After identifying the Lokomat variables able to provide more information on the walking function of the ambulatory subjects (K knee TS and LF_HF) in "are the Lokomat AAN outcome measures reliable?", we studied if walking speed in the 10MWT could be predicted by the same model also in non...
After two knee replacement surgeries and a broken leg, I was not much in a walking or blogging mood. I considered renaming the blog and adding more Oregon, but it’s not how I want to spend my time. We do continue to explore and live near some grand parks. The ocean is a little ...
using the single leg version of HAL on walking ability, knee ROM, muscle strength, pain, and physical function, and to compare the functional status after HAL training with the conventional therapy alone and with the pre-operative functional status for up to 8 weeks after TKA for OA and RA...
