Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin, Mina Arabbaniasad

Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...

Real-world gait speed estimation using wrist sensor: A personalized approach

Kamiar Aminian, Hooman Dejnabadi, Abolfazl Soltani, Martin Savary

Gait speed is an important parameter to characterize people's daily mobility. For real-world speed measurement, inertial sensors or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can be used on wrist, possibly integrated in a wristwatch. However, power consumpt ...

Adaptive Morphology: A Design Principle for Multimodal and Multifunctional Robots

Dario Floreano, Stefano Mintchev

Morphology plays an important role in behavioral and locomotion strategies of living and artificial systems. There is biological evidence that adaptive morphological changes can not only extend dynamic performances by reducing tradeoffs during locomotion b ...

An Animal-Specific FSI Model of the Abdominal Aorta in Anesthetized Mice

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Bram Trachet

Recent research has revealed that angiotensin II-induced abdominal aortic aneurysm in mice can be related to medial ruptures occurring in the vicinity of abdominal side branches. Nevertheless a thorough understanding of the biomechanics near abdominal side ...
