Physiological Axial Tibial Rotation of the Knee During a Weightbearing Flexion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Axial tibial rotation is a characteristic motion of the knee, but how it occurs with knee flexion is controversial. We investigated the mechanisms of tibial rotations by analyzing in vivo tibiofemoral articulations. Twenty ...
A Novel Graft Fixation Technique for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Hamstring Tendon Grafts
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This study evaluated the biomechanical efficacy of single-tunnel double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction technique. The graft construct is achieved using a novel fixation device that splits an ACL ...
In Vivo Kinematics of the Extensor Mechanism of the Knee During Deep Flexion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While various factors have been assumed to affect knee joint biomechanics, few data have been reported on the function of the extensor mechanism in deep flexion of the knee. This study analyzed the patellofemoral joint ...
Prediction of In Vivo Knee Joint Kinematics Using a Combined Dual Fluoroscopy Imaging and Statistical Shape Modeling Technique
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Using computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) images to construct 3D knee models has been widely used in biomedical engineering research. Statistical shape modeling (SSM) method is an alternative way to provide ...
Ranges of Cervical Intervertebral Disc Deformation During an In Vivo Dynamic Flexion–Extension of the Neck
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While abnormal loading is widely believed to cause cervical spine disc diseases, in vivo cervical disc deformation during dynamic neck motion has not been well delineated. This study investigated the range of cervical disc ...
