Measurement Error Versus Repeated Measurements: A Guide Describing Two Methods for Computing Bias and Precision of Migration Measurements From Double Examinations Using Radiostereometric Analysis
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Radiostereometric analysis is a method to measure implant migration where an ISO standard recommends double examinations (i.e., acquisition of two independent sets of biplanar images on the same day) to compute bias (i.e., ... -
Development and Multisite Assessment of a Novel Shoulder Motion Joint Simulator
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 2022)Multiple biomechanical shoulder simulators have been described in the literature, with a trend toward increasing complexity to better simulate clinical scenarios. Our objective was to develop an advanced, novel shoulder ... -
