Changes in the Appendicular Skeleton with Age

1.8K
The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

Ankle Joint

1.3K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Engineering
  • Biomedical Devices
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders

Background:

  • Musculoskeletal disorders often require extensive rehabilitation for ankle joint function.
  • Existing rehabilitation devices may lack adaptability, customization, or affordability.
  • There is a need for advanced, patient-centered assistive technologies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the conceptual design and modeling of a novel ankle exoskeleton.
  • To evaluate the exoskeleton's suitability for ankle joint rehabilitation.
  • To highlight the device's potential for improving patient recovery rates.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual design and computer-aided modeling of the exoskeleton.
  • Incorporation of three screw actuators for precise motion control.
  • Virtual testing to assess adaptability to varying loads and motion phases.

Main Results:

  • The exoskeleton design allows smooth control of dorsal/plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion.
  • Virtual tests confirmed high adaptability to different loads and motion stages.
  • Controlled torque and linear motion support patient rehabilitation effectively.

Conclusions:

  • The designed ankle exoskeleton demonstrates potential for effective rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders.
  • Its features like material availability, ease of use, and customization enhance clinical and home applicability.
  • The study underscores the need for affordable, accurate, and adaptable rehabilitation devices.
