Its evaluation requires subjective clinical examination with wide interobserver variability. Objective quantification of spinal cord function remains imprecise, even though validated myelopathy-grading scales have emerged and are now widely used. We created a Smartphone Application, the N-Outcome App, with the aim of quantifying accurately and reliably spinal cord dysfunction using a 5-minute Test. A patient suffering from DCM was clinically evaluated before surgery, at 3 and 6 months follow-up after surgical decompression of the cervical spinal cord. Standard scores (Nurick grade, modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (mJOA) score) were documented at these time points. A 5-minute motor and proprioceptive performance test aided by a smartphone with the N-outcome App was also performed. Motor performance in rapid alternating movements and finger tapping improved in correlation with improvements in standard grading scale scores. Clinical improvements were seen in maximum reflex acceleration and in Romberg testing which showed less closed/open eyes variation, suggesting pyramidal and proprioceptive function recovery. We demonstrate that using the N-Outcome App as an adjunct to clinical evaluation of compressive myelopathy is feasible and potentially useful.

These commonly prescribed braces cannot treat bicompartmental knee OA, do not consider the muscle weakness that typically accompanies the condition, and employ hinges that restrict the knee's natural biomechanics. Utilizing a novel, personalized joint mechanism in conjunction with magnetorheological dampers, we have developed and evaluated a brace which attempts to address these shortcomings. This process has respected three principal design goals: reducing the load experienced across the entire knee joint, generating a supportive moment to aid the thigh muscles in shock absorption, and interfering minimally with gait kinematics. Two healthy volunteers were chosen to test the system's basic functionality through gait analysis in a motion capture laboratory. Combining the collected kinematic and force-plate data with data taken from sensors onboard the brace, we integrated the brace and leg system into a single inverse dynamics analysis, from which we were able to evaluate the effect of the brace design on the subjects' knee loads and moments. Of the three design goals: a reduction in knee contact forces was demonstrated; increased shock absorption was observed, but not to statistical significance; and natural gait was largely preserved. Taken in total, the outcome of this study supports additional investigation into the system's clinical effectiveness, and suggests that further refinement of the techniques presented in this paper could open the doors to more effective OA treatment through patient specific braces.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41475684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Efficient pulsed delivery requires that POCs are triggered by patient inhalation. Triggering is known to fail for some patients during periods of quite breathing, as occurs during sleep. The present article describes a new nasal interface designed to improve triggering of pulsed oxygen delivery from portable oxygen concentrators (POCs). In vitro experiments incorporating realistic nasal airway replicas and simulated breathing were conducted. The pressure monitored via oxygen supply tubing (the signal pressure) was measured over a range of constant inhalation flow rates with the nasal interface inserted into the nares of the nasal airway replicas, and compared with signal pressures measured for standard and flared nasal cannulas. Triggering efficiency and the fraction of inhaled oxygen (FiO2) were then evaluated for the nasal interface and cannulas used with a commercial POC during simulated tidal breathing through the replicas. Higher signal pressures were achieved for the nasal interface than for nasal cannulas at all flow rates studied. The nasal interface triggered pulsed delivery from the POC in cases where nasal cannulas failed to trigger. FiO2 was significantly higher for successful triggering cases than for failed triggering cases. The nasal interface improved triggering of pulsed oxygen delivery from a POC and presents a simple solution that could be used with commercially-available POCs to reliably supply oxygen during periods of quiet breathing.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47366711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To investigate these interconnected relationships, this study evaluated the effects of transcatheter valve leaflet type (porcine vs. bovine pericardium) and the leaflet-stent attachment height (low, mid, and high) on flow stasis and potential for leaflet thrombosis. Transcatheter valve models were manufactured and tested within an aortic simulator under pulsatile left heart hemodynamic conditions. Transvalvular hemodynamics, leaflet kinematics, and flow structures were evaluated by direct measurement, high-speed imaging, and two differing techniques of particle image velocimetry. Transcatheter valves with porcine pericardial leaflets were observed to be less stiff, exhibit a lesser resistance to flow, were associated with reduced regions of neo-sinus flow stasis, and superior sinus washout times. More elevated attachments of the leaflets were associated with less neo-sinus flow stasis.

Reducing the muscular force during activities such as the operation of a pistol grip hand tool could result in lower incidence of CTDs. The objective of this research was to reduce the muscular contribution to the grip force using an active orthosis system. A novel soft, pneumatic grasp assist device, that used a unique design of sinusoidal bellows oriented at 45 degrees, was designed to augment the users' strength during operation of pistol grip hand tool. The optimized design was fabricated using rapid prototyping. Device effectiveness was quantified by measuring muscle activity and grip force during an in vivo study of a common industrial activity. Nine subjects experienced with power tools employed by an automobile manufacturer installed 18 fasteners using a pistol grip DC tool with and without the grasp assist device. Surface electromyography (sEMG) was used to measure the activity of four muscles commonly associated with grasping. Results showed that the grasp assist significantly reduced the mean, combined, normalized muscle activity by 18% (p<0.05). Muscle activation results were contextualized using the revised strain index (RSI). The grasp assist device trial yielded a significantly lower mean RSI value than the typical trial by 13% (p<0.05).

The reconstruction and internal fixation of complex acetabular fractures is still challenging. The goal of this study is to introduce a divisible implant, with a positive-locking in situ linking mechanism for plate osteosynthesis, making it possible to stabilize large and complex acetabular fractures with involvement of the quadrilateral surface.\u0000 Method: Standard implants were used to recreate a base design. Using computer aided design (CAD), a three-dimensional standard implant was divided into two parts, so they could be re-allocated in situ. A critical objective was to reduce the cross-section of each part (clearance gauge). To connect the separated parts in situ, a new linking mechanism (cone in cone) was created. The new construct also features self-stabilization, self-centering, reinforced positional movement and preloading effects.\u0000 Results: A linking system for plate osteosynthesis was developed entitled PEGASOS (\"Percutaneous Endoscopic Guided Acetabulum-Stabilizing Osteosynthesis System\"). Endoscopic implantation and in-situ-linking could be performed in a human cadaver. Therefore, we could demonstrate, that buttressing the quadrilateral surface of the acetabulum could be performed minimally invasive using a divisible suprapectineal buttress plate.\u0000 Conclusion: We created a linking mechanism to couple two plates in situ.

Moreover, the relative hyperflexion of the wrist and fingers has limited their ability to voluntarily open the hand and interact with the external environment. In this work, a hybrid hand exoskeleton is developed to prevent the relative hyperflexion of the fingers and wrist and facilitate the users in their functional hand opening by compensating the flexor hypertonia. This exoskeleton, combining a passive device with the soft extra muscle (SEM) glove, assists users in normal hand opening/closing required for some basic activities of daily living. The paper presents kinematic and static models of passive hand exoskeleton design. Moreover, the proposed design is tested and evaluated by comparing the volunteer hand opening with the exoskeleton assistance using the flex sensors attached on the dorsal side of the middle finger, ring finger, and thumb with both healthy subjects and patients. The results show the effectiveness of using the hybrid exoskeleton in improving anatomical hand opening/closing capabilities.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2021-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46779063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
