Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula01:10

Bones of the Lower Limb: Tibia and Fibula

5.2K
The tibia is the main weight-bearing bone of the lower leg. It is larger than the fibula with which it is paired. The tibia is also the second longest bone in the body and is located right below the skin. The proximal end of the tibia forms the medial and the lateral condyle, which articulates with the condyles of the femur to form the knee joint. Between the articulating surfaces is the irregular elevated area known as the intercondylar eminence that serves as the inferior attachment point for...

Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

2.3K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroprosthetics
  • Biomechanics

Background:

  • Current lower-extremity prostheses focus on cyclic locomotion, limiting athletic versatility.
  • Restoring acyclic movements essential for human athleticism remains a challenge in limb restoration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an osseointegrated mechanoneural prosthesis with a neuroembodied design.
  • To develop a biomimetic coupling for advanced prosthetic control.
  • To investigate the potential for prosthetic movement to exceed intact limb capabilities.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an osseointegrated prosthesis with modified hard and soft tissues and implanted hardware.
  • Created a biomimetic coupling between neuromuscular signaling and joint movement.
  • Compared prosthetic control with conventional methods (surface electromyography).

Main Results:

  • The neuroembodied design achieved versatile acyclic movements beyond conventional prosthetics.
  • The biomimetic coupling demonstrated superior versatility in prosthetic control.
  • Prosthetic movement speeds surpassed intact physiology in individuals with superior residual neuromuscular function.

Conclusions:

  • Osseointegrated prostheses with neuroembodied designs can restore versatile acyclic movements.
  • Biomimetic neural coupling offers enhanced prosthetic control.
  • Anatomical prosthetic integration may be key to matching or exceeding intact limb performance.
