Improving Electromyography Electrode Placement Accuracy in Transtibial Amputees: A Comparative Study of Ultrasound and Palpation Methods.

In the past decade, significant focus has been on electromyography (EMG) control of prostheses in transtibial amputees (TTAs). Reliable signal acquisition requires accurate EMG electrode placement. Conventional electrode placement methods are challenging due to altered post-surgical anatomy.

On the mechanical stability of porous coated press fit titanium implants: a finite element study of a pushout test.

Pushout tests can be used to estimate the shear strength of the bone implant interface. Numerous such experimental studies have been published in the literature. Despite this researchers are still some way off with respect to the development of accurate numerical models to simulate implant stability.
