As fingers represent the main executive instrument that assisted human evolution by performing various activities, starting with work and fight for survival, the flawless functioning of their grip and motion capacity should be a major preoccupation for researchers in biomechanics and ergonomics areas. More and more robotics becomes involved in rehabilitation issues requiring accurate information regarding...
The treatment of dislocated intra-articular fractures of calcaneus gives a lot of debates between the orthopaedic surgeons. Minimally-invasive techniques beside offering good reduction of the fracture have lesser complications and for this reason tend to replace the open procedures. In this paper, we want to describe a new method of minimally-invasive technique used in the treatment of intra-articular...
Main purpose of this paper is to describe a propose and compile a dynamometric measurement system which would measure the isometric force of a handgrip. Although, in the practice, there have already been the mechanic hand dynamometers which could evaluate only a limited amount of information, precisely the maximum strength of a handgrip, our aim is to compile the full electronic hand dynamometer....
Whole-Body Vibration Therapy (WBVT) is known as “biomechanical stimulation” or “biomechanical oscilation”. Application of WBVT in recreational or therapeutic framework is used in order to increase muscle strength and athletic performance. Despite the rich history of this therapy, the mechanisms underlying its efficiency and advantages remain unclear. To develop a new WBVT device intended to improve...
The main topic treated in this paper is represented by the design of a total knee prosthesis in order to obtain a customized product for specific pathological cases (overweight, particular anatomical conformation for knee etc.). In such cases, given the complexity of geometric shape that has any tri-compartmental knee prosthesis and the particularity of individual dimensions of components, the final...
