The total ankle replacement (TAR) survivability rate is still suboptimal, and this leads to many orthopaedic surgeons opting arthrodesis as a better option for the ankle arthritis patients. One of the fundamental reasons is due to the lack of primary stability of the prosthesis fixation at the bone‐prosthesis interface hence leading to long‐term aseptic loosening of the talar component. The commercially...
Traditional rigid robotic hand manipulator has been used in many field nowadays due to its advantages of large gripping force and stable performance. However, this kind of rigid manipulator is not suitable for gripping fragile objects since it is motorized and force control can be a problem. It is also not suitable to grip object with different shapes since the manipulator is rigid and not compliant...
In this paper, we present the design, fabrication and preliminary evaluation of a soft robotic glove which can be used with functional Magnetic Resonance imaging (fMRI) during the hand continuous passive motion (CPM) in rehabilitation. The device comprises of two major components: a) soft pneumatic actuators and b) a glove. The soft pneumatic actuators, which are made of silicon elastomers, generate...
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a severe medical condition that can affect patients who are long-term bed-ridden, due to diseases such as stroke. Current prevention methods for DVT focus on either pharmacological prophylaxis or mechanical prophylaxis, where current mechanical prophylaxis systems that target prevention of DVT have limited success rates as patients are still susceptible to occurrences...
