Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following knee injury, it’s common to use a knee brace for security and support. Studies investigating the effects of knee braces on performance have been very controversial. Some studies have found that a brace decreases performance while others have found improved performance when it comes to range of motion and strength. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of two different types of popular knee braces.

Download or read book Calipered Kinematically aligned Total Knee Arthroplasty written by Stephen M. Howell and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calipered kinematic alignment was proposed by Dr. Stephen M. Howell to enable the accurate and individualized placement of total knee components coincident within ± 0.5 mm of the patient’s pre-arthritic alignment. The aim was to restore the patient's native joint kinematics and thereby address the well documented 20% dissatisfaction when total knee replacement is performed using traditional, or mechanical alignment techniques. With Dr. Stefano A. Bini and Dr. G. Daxton Steele as co-editors, Dr. Howell has curated an international team of expert surgeons and engineers to discuss various aspects of the calipered knee alignment technique in short, concise, and well-illustrated chapters. Each author provides clear, practical guidance for adopting and implementing calipered kinematic alignment covering manual, patient-specific, navigated, and robotic techniques. Chapters on component design tailored explicitly for kinematic alignment and showing the close relationship between knee biomechanics and the kinematically aligned TKA help the surgeon manage complex challenges associated with deformity and post-operative complications. Following the introduction of the calipered kinematic alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty, many international studies have shown consistently better patient satisfaction than the traditional mechanical alignment technique. Better function and high long-term implant survival have catalyzed a paradigm shift in total knee replacement philosophy that is being embraced by orthopedic surgeons and innovative implant companies around the world with excellent results. Calipered Kinematically Aligned Knee Arthroplasty is the definitive textbook on the subject and features: Thorough explanations of how the calipered kinematic alignment technique for total knee arthroplasty accurately sets total knee components coincident with the patient’s pre-arthritic alignment and coaligned with the three rotational axes of the native knee. A personalized approach to total knee surgery designed to reconstitute the patient’s native biomechanics in contrast with mechanical alignment that place all patients in the same standard alignment regardless of their constitutional anatomy. Detailed and well-illustrated descriptions of manual, navigated, robotic and patient-specific guide techniques that confirm kinematic alignment with a caliper. Clinical photos, radiographs, and line art throughout the book as well as helpful online technique videos. Key focus topics such as managing complex deformities, the expected post-operative recovery, and future trends in kinematic alignment. The shared experience and knowledge of international pioneers in the field. An emphasis on a personalized surgical philosophy which enables same-day discharge, reduces pain and opioid use, and promotes quicker recovery, better function, and a more natural feeling knee.
Download or read book Real Time Event Detection and Control of a Smart Knee Brace for Gait Rehabilitation written by Joseph Paul White and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early gait rehabilitation training in stroke patients, often beginning within days of the stroke, is considered a promising method to correct hemiplegic gait patterns. Delaying the training may produce further impairments that can lead to joint damage and lessen the patient's quality of life. This work presents a Smart Knee Brace (SKB) that has been developed and refined to not only allow a physical therapist to pursue early gait rehabilitation in a patient, but also provides a flexible platform from which to develop effective rehabilitation methods with biofeedback. This thesis contains a description and discussion of the physical hardware, the sensors and electronics, and the software implemented in the SKB system. The current system includes a locking mechanism for both the flexion and extension directions of knee motion. The locks may be used to induce proper knee motion and muscle use as well as to prevent the patient's knee from collapsing in flexion. There are various sensors to provide kinematic data about the motion of the leg which are used to control this locking mechanism. The real time control of the system is made possible by customized software developed in Matlab and Simulink using the XPC Toolbox. The real time algorithm behind the control software is based solely on the kinematic data retrieved from the sensors on the SKB and was evaluated on a healthy patient wearing the SKB and through simulation with previously taken stroke patient data. It is shown to accurately detect the initial contact and toe off gait events.
