Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of ACL Reconstructive Surgery on Temporal Variations of Cytokine Levels in Synovial Fluid.
Marco Bigoni,Marco Turati,Marta Gandolla,Paola Sacerdote,Massimiliano Piatti,Alberto Castelnuovo,Silvia Franchi,Massimo Gorla,Daniele Munegato,Diego Gaddi,Alessandra Pedrocchi,Robert J. Omeljaniuk,Vittorio Locatelli,Antonio Torsello +13 more
TL;DR: The data show that the history of an ACL injury, including trauma and reconstruction, has a significant impact on levels of IL-6, IL-8, and IL-10 in synovial fluid but does not affect levels of TNF-α andIL-1β.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intra-Articular Cytokine Levels in Adolescent Patients after Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear.
Marco Bigoni,Marco Turati,Giovanni Zatti,Marta Gandolla,Paola Sacerdote,Massimiliano Piatti,Alberto Castelnuovo,Luca Rigamonti,Daniele Munegato,Silvia Franchi,Nicola Portinaro,Alessandra Pedrocchi,Robert J. Omeljaniuk,Vittorio Locatelli,Antonio Torsello +14 more
TL;DR: Measureting cytokine concentrations in the synovial fluid in adolescent population suggests that the ACL tear could promote an intra-articular catabolic response in adolescent patients greater than that generally reported for adult subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing functional abilities and cognitive integration of the lower limb prosthesis
Francesco Maria Petrini,Francesco Maria Petrini,Giacomo Valle,Giacomo Valle,Marko Bumbasirevic,Federica Barberi,Dario Bortolotti,Paul Čvančara,Arthur Hiairrassary,Pavle Mijović,Atli Örn Sverrisson,Alessandra Pedrocchi,Jean-Louis Divoux,Igor Popovic,Knut Lechler,Bogdan Mijovic,David Guiraud,Thomas Stieglitz,Asgeir Alexandersson,Silvestro Micera,Silvestro Micera,Aleksandar Lesic,Stanisa Raspopovic +22 more
TL;DR: This study developed a leg neuroprosthesis, which provided real-time tactile and emulated proprioceptive feedback to three transfemoral amputees through nerve stimulation, and demonstrated that induced sensory feedback can be integrated at supraspinal levels to restore functional abilities of the missing leg.
Journal ArticleDOI
MUNDUS project: MUltimodal neuroprosthesis for daily upper limb support.
Alessandra Pedrocchi,Simona Ferrante,Emilia Ambrosini,Marta Gandolla,Claudia Casellato,Thomas Schauer,Christian Klauer,Javier Pascual,Carmen Vidaurre,Margit Gföhler,Werner Reichenfelser,Jakob Karner,Silvestro Micera,Silvestro Micera,Andrea Crema,Franco Molteni,Mauro Rossini,Giovanna Palumbo,Eleonora Guanziroli,Andreas Jedlitschka,Marco Hack,Maria Bulgheroni,Enrico D’Amico,Peter Schenk,Sven Zwicker,Alexander Duschau-Wicke,Justinas Miseikis,Lina Graber,Giancarlo Ferrigno +28 more
TL;DR: The MUNDUS platform provides functional assistance to daily life activities; the modules integration depends on the user’s need, the functionality of the system have been demonstrated for all the possible configurations, and preliminary assessment of usability and acceptance is promising.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cycling Induced by Electrical Stimulation Improves Motor Recovery in Postacute Hemiparetic Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
TL;DR: It was demonstrated that 20 sessions of FES cycling training significantly improved lower extremity motor functions and accelerated the recovery of overground locomotion in postacute hemiparetic patients.
