Gait Variability to Phenotype Common Orthopedic Gait Impairments Using Wearable Sensors

Mobility impairments are a common symptom of age-related degenerative diseases. Gait features can discriminate those with mobility disorders from healthy individuals, yet phenotyping specific pathologies remains challenging. This study aims to identify if ...

Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin

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 ...

Assessment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy using a deep learning method for muscle T2 mapping segmentation

Tobias Kober, Tom Hilbert, Qian Wang, Yubo Zhao, Yao Zhang

Objective To investigate the utility of an automatic deep learning (DL) method for segmentation of T2 maps in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) against healthy controls, and also the association of quantitative T2 values in patients with ...

Astrocyte-targeting RNA interference against mutated superoxide dismutase 1 induces motoneuron plasticity and protects fast-fatigable motor units in a mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Patrick Aebischer, Bernard Schneider, Cylia Cloé Rochat, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) caused by SOD1 gene mutations, both cell-autonomous and noncell-autonomous mechanisms lead to the selective degeneration of motoneurons (MN). Here, we evaluate the therapeutic potential of gene therapy targeting mutat ...

Sensor-based control strategies for integration of epidural electrical stimulation in rehabilitation after spinal cord injury

Miroslav Caban

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) results in damage to neural circuitry connecting the brain to the periphery. Consequently, sensory and motor function is lost, to varying degree, depending on the site and severity of the lesion. More than half of spinal cord injur ...

Extracting transport channel transmissions in scanning tunneling microscopy using superconducting excess current

Klaus Kern, Markus Etzkorn, Jacob Senkpiel

Transport through quantum coherent conductors, such as atomic junctions, is described by conduction channels. Information about the number of channels and their transmissions can be extracted from various sources, such as multiple Andreev reflections, dyna ...

Evaluation of anterior cruciate ligament surgical reconstruction through finite element analysis

Dimitar Yuriev Stanev

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common knee injuries. The ACL reconstruction surgery aims to restore healthy knee function by replacing the injured ligament with a graft. Proper selection of the optimal surgery parameters is a comp ...
