3D Shape Reconstruction of Knee Bones from Low Radiation X-ray Images Using Deep Learning
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-02)Understanding the bone kinematics of the human knee during dynamic motions is necessary to evaluate the pathological conditions, design knee prosthesis, orthosis and surgical treatments such as knee arthroplasty. Also, ... -
ACL Strain During Single-Leg Jump Landing: An Experimental and Computational Investigation
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-11)The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a commonly-injured ligament in the human knee joint. ACL injury repair is a costly procedure; however, left unrepaired, ACL injuries can lead to complications later in life. In ... -
Computational Analysis to Evaluate the Effects of Knee Brace on Anterior Cruciate Ligament during Single-Leg Jump Landing
(University of Waterloo, 2022-12-21)Injury and musculoskeletal diseases in the knee due to excessive loading at the ligaments can cause mechanical instability to the joint. Knee bracing has been commonly used to support and provide external stabilization ... -
Computational Modeling of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus Strain During Stop-Jump Landings
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-27)The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most critical joint stabilizers in the knee. Stop-jump landings are a particularly common maneuver that result in ACL injuries due to the large impact forces on the knees ... -
Computational Modelling of Knee Tissue Mechanics During Single-Leg Jump Landing
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) plays a crucial role in stabilising the knee joint in anterior tibial translation and internal tibial rotation. Non-contact ACL injuries are a major concern in sport-related activities ... -
Design and Evaluation of Grasp Assistive Devices in an Industrial Environment
(University of Waterloo, 2019-12-06)Carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis are two common upper extremity cumulative trauma disorders related to repetitive and forceful activities in the workplace. The objective of this research was to reduce the hand force ... -
Investigation on the Effects of Fastening Parameters on the Handle Displacement of a Pistol Grip Tool
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-23)Workers in automotive assembly lines routinely use DC-powered pistol grip tools to install threaded fasteners. While these tools are easy to use and increase production quality, tool operators are subjected to impulsive ...
