Journal ArticleDOI
Induction of bone formation in rat tail vertebrae by mechanical loading.
TL;DR: In the rat, as in avian species, short loading regimes are capable of inducing bone formation, and the model may assist an analysis of the interactions between bone resorption, bone formation and mechanical stimuli, and may enable identification of the molecular signals that mediate induction of lamellar bone formation on trabecular surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
The design of anthropomorphic prosthetic hands: A study of the Southampton Hand
TL;DR: The range of mechanical solutions adopted to address the conditions of prosthetic hands is detailed, and the solutions compared with other solutions are compared.
Patent
Apparatus for external fixation of bone fractures
John Derek Harris,Mervyn Evans +1 more
TL;DR: A non-rigid bone fracture fixator comprising first and second bone pins for connection either side of a bone fracture and primary and secondary supports clamped to the bone pins by respective fixed and guide clamps is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Intelligent Anthropomorphic Hand, with Automatic Grasp
TL;DR: The design requirements, the methods of detection of the signals and the training required to operate the hand are outlined, and more than one degree of freedom can be controlled and a greater and more natural functional range is possible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamic interfragmentary motion in fractures during routine patient activity.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured natural interfragmentary motion in tibial fractures during normal patient activity, and the results were interpreted using correlations from the literature to examine the influence of natural motion on healing.
