Knee mainly consists bone (femur, patella, tibia and fibula), cruciate ligaments (anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)), collateral ligaments (lateral collateral ligament (LCL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL)) and cartilages (meniscus and articular cartilages). Meniscus and articular cartilages used as shock absorbers, which help to move bones smoothly over one another throughout their range of motion. Cruciate and collateral ligament prevent backward-forward movement and side to side movements of the bones respectively. However, knee is highly vulnerable to injuries that might happen due to vehicle accidents, during physical exercise, and other sudden events in our day to day activities. In addition, knee joint is highly affected by diseases like; osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteonecrosis and other syndromes which are afflicting millions of people every day throughout the globe. Osteoarthritis only affects around 250 million people worldwide.1 According classic rehabilitation statistical up to date report, one-third of all Americans experiencing knee pain at some time or another and around 100 million people suffer from chronic pain annually. According to Genome-wide association study, half of people aged above 50 suffer knee pain.6 Ligament, cartilage injuries and OA are the most common chronic knee pain and cause of disabilities.2–5 In USA, there are about 60 acute meniscal tears per 100000 people7 and around 200000 ALC injuries per year.8 According to national health survey around 3 persons have OA per 10 people with disabilities.9","PeriodicalId":411709,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Applied Bionics and Biomechanics","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130951279","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently one of the treatments to regain movement in the ankle joint is ankle arthrodesis, which is a surgical procedure during which flexo-extension mobility is restored to resume the high and low gait cycle Speed. To manufacture an artificial ankle joint it is necessary to establish the parameters that help control the manufacturing processes of each component, ensuring its proper operation. The mechanical design for this joint highly depends on the analysis of axial loads produced by the weight of the human body during the supporting phases and based on that information, select the appropriate materials that are useful not only to support the weight of the human body but maintaining an excellent level of biological compatibility.","PeriodicalId":411709,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Applied Bionics and Biomechanics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129044451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well known that MnO2 is of high theoretical specific capacitance (1370F g-1), natural abundance, environmental friendliness and low cost.1–3 MnO2 exhibits different electrochemical properties at very low loadings (about a few mg cm-2) on the current collector because of its extremely low electrical conductivity (10-5 to 10-6 Scm-1).4–7 Functional nanomaterials have been found wide applications in diverse areas due to their intrinsically different properties compared with bulk materials. Except for the excellent electrochemical property of MnO2 bulk materials, nanostructured manganese dioxide exhibits its efficient electrolyte/cation interfacial charge transports which enables improved pseudo capacitive performance, a good rate capability and reversibility. As a promising PC material among transition metal oxides, nano-MnO2 is of outstanding structural flexibility and exists in tunnel, spinel and layered crystallographic forms.8,9 To improve the performance, various MnO2 nanostructures with different morphologies, including nanoflowers,11,12 nanosheets,13–15 anotubes16 and nanowires17–19 have been synthesized.

Nevertheless, the prosthetic element only can served as supporting devices for the forearm.1 On the other hand, with the implementation as material of manufacture of Iron, new prostheses devices were developed, with the objective of being used in the war holding swords or shields.2 However, in the sixteenth century would be presented the first hand substitute, designed by Ambroise Pare, as a consequence would begin with the design of different prostheses with different objectives and materials for production.3 Today, the loss of the upper limb of the human body due to a congenital disease, trauma or accident, leads to several limitations into the daily activities. So, it is essential to replace the affected part with a prosthesis, either aesthetic or functional type.4 However, now days, there are prosthesis designed and manufacture that exceed 70 000 euros in their production, as well as hand substitutes made from low-cost additive manufacturing.5 Therefore, the replacement of this part of the body is more accessible due to the combination of various areas such as Engineering, Biomechanics and Robotics, that allow to mechanical design functional prostheses by the application of mathematical foundations. By the application of these sciences, it is possible to predict the proper functionality of these elements. Also, the practice and improvement of new technologies, such as free-source additive manufacturing and the use of unconventional materials, such as thermostable polymers, provides an optimal product. As a result, prostheses can be designed to be capable of mimicking some of the most characteristic movements of this limb,6 such as opposition of the thumb with one of the other fingers, as well as particular features that possess the physiognomy of the hand, causing that this type of t prosthesis gives a more aesthetic look. Finally, the research presented in this work concludes in a design of a robotic arms which comprehends a functional hand prosthesis with five fingers with their corresponding phalanges. Additional and as an advantage of the product developed, this prosthetic device was produce by 3D printing and their movement capacities were developed and corroborated by Direct Kinematics sciences.","PeriodicalId":411709,"journal":{"name":"MOJ Applied Bionics and Biomechanics","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134176641","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
