The knee joint weight-bearing apparatus includes a buttock attaching part, a lower-leg attaching part, and two thigh connection units. Each thigh connection unit includes a front thigh link and a rear thigh link. The buttock attaching part, the lower-leg attaching part, the front thigh link,...
In load-carrying studies, there are several studies but no consistent findings in the knee joint loads in walking and running. Our aim was to investigate how the joint load changes in body weight gaining, using added vest that was 10% of the body weight to mimic the conditions. We used ...
Featuring a weight-activated brake system, this knee joint ensures enhanced stability and control during movement, allowing amputees to regain their confidence and independence. The weight-activated brake technology intelligently adjusts to the user's movements, providing a secure and reliable expe...

perfect now. Load up, I'm going to make sure that my leg feels like it's externally rotating, I'm going to use those leg muscles, and then we're going right into neutral joint alignment where our knee, our hip, our ankle, and our shoulder are stacked right on top of each other....
A new University of Alberta study shows that losing weight before knee replacement surgery doesn't lead to better outcomes for patients. In asystematic reviewpublished inJoint Bone Spine,researchers in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine found that weight loss beforesurgerymay not be beneficial for...
