Laser doppler imaging as additional monitoring after digital replanting: A prospective study

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

BackgroundDespite various exisiting monitoring methods, there is still a need for new technologies to improve the quality of post-operative evaluation of digital replantation. The purpose of the study is using a laser Doppler imaging device (Easy-LDI) as a ...

Fascicular nerve stimulation and recording using a novel double-aisle regenerative electrode

Silvestro Micera

Objective. As artificial prostheses become more refined, they are most often used as a therapeutic option for hand amputation. By contrast to extra- or intraneural interfaces, regenerative nerve electrodes are designed to enable electrical interfaces with ...

Upper limb cortical maps in amputees with targeted muscle and sensory reinnervation

Olaf Blanke, Wietske Van der Zwaag, Andrea Serino, Giulio Rognini, Roy Salomon, Roberto Martuzzi, Elisa Canzoneri, Michel Akselrod, Maria Laura Blefari

Neuroprosthetics research in amputee patients aims at developing new prostheses that move and feel like real limbs. Targeted muscle and sensory reinnervation (TMSR) is such an approach and consists of rerouting motor and sensory nerves from the residual li ...

An Adaptive Neuromuscular Controller for Assistive Lower-Limb Exoskeletons: A Preliminary Study on Subjects with Spinal Cord Injury

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Amy Roning Wu

Versatility is important for a wearable exoskeleton controller to be responsive to both the user and the environment. These characteristics are especially important for subjects with spinal cord injury (SCI), where active recruitment of their own neuromusc ...

Influence of an Assistive Hip Orthosis on Gait

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Amalric Louis Ortlieb, Jeremy Olivier

Powered orthoses are leading to an imminent change in the field of assistance. The major challenges faced by the technology concern the management of the interaction between the user and the wearable device and the coordination between the user intention a ...

Intraneural stimulation elicits discrimination of textural features by artificial fingertip in intact and amputee humans

Silvestro Micera, Fiorenzo Artoni, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Fabrizio Vecchio

Restoration of touch after hand amputation is a desirable feature of ideal prostheses. Here, we show that texture discrimination can be artificially provided in human subjects by implementing a neuromorphic real-time mechano-neuro-transduction (MNT), which ...

Automatic Hand Phantom Map Detection Methods

Christian Enz, Claudio Bruschini, Jörn Justiz, Huaiqi Huang

Many amputees have maps of referred sensation from their missing hand on their residual limb (phantom maps). This skin area can serve as a target for providing amputees with tactile sensory feedback. Providing tactile feedback on the phantom map can improv ...

Design and integration of an instrumented knee prosthesis

Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is nowadays one of the most important orthopedic surgery. It consists of a procedure in which parts of the knee are replaced by a prosthesis. The largest indication for total knee arthroplasty is osteoarthritis, a knee disease that ...

Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Peter Ryser, Arash Arami, Eric Meurville, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...
