High flexion kinematics and kinetics for the improvement of artificial knee joints
Total knee arthroplasty has been effective in reducing pain, but less so in restoring function, especially for activities requiring deep knee flexion. The philosophy of this dissertation was that more functionally effective and optimally designed artificial knees could be created for high flexion …

Verschleißverhalten von Polyäthylen beim künstlichen Kniegelenkersatz
… wear is a major cause of aseptic loosening of knee endoprostheses. In clinical use the long-term wear resistance of a specific tibial plateau in artificial knee-joints will depend on numerous factors, including the type of polyethylene from which it was fabricated, the fabrication, the type of …

Reduction of friction in polymeric composites for artificial joint prostheses
… has been used as a bearing material in artificial joints for more than thirty years. Despite this long period of use and the success which artificial implants have had, material failure and ultimately prosthetic failure still occurs as the result of mechanical wear of the bearing …

A machine learning approach to gait cycle classification for Rheo 3 low-end torque failure
… low-end torque failure in Rheo 3 prosthetic knees to find a reliable way of diagnosing this fault in real-world scenarios, considering that in most cases, this malfunction typically goes unnoticed by the wearer. Using a data set comprising of gait cycles, this research explored and compared …
