Nickel-titanium shape memory alloy (NiTi-SMA) implants might allow modulating fracture healing, changing their stiffness through alteration of both elastic modulus and cross-sectional shape by employing the shape memory ...

Human grasping is a relatively fast process and control signals for upper limb prosthetics cannot be generated and processed in a sufficiently timely manner. The aim of this study was to examine whether discriminating ...

To date, bioceramics have not been applied successfully in total knee joint endoprostheses. Sintered bioceramics can be machined only by grinding and polishing processes. Due to high quality requirements, there are significant ...

Polymers as biomaterials possess favorable properties, which include corrosion resistance, light weight, biocompatibility, ease of processing, low cost, and an ability to be easily tailored to meet specific applications. ...
