ON MOBILITY AND GAIT IN SCOLIOSIS PATIENTS: A COMPARISON OF CONVENTIONAL AND 3D-PRINTED BRACES DURING AN INSTRUMENTED TIMED-UP AND GO TEST

On mobility and gait in scoliosis patients: a comparison of conventional and 3D-printed braces during an instrumented timed-up and go test

Abstract Objective Spinal orthoses are the most viable conservative treatment for scoliosis, and additive manufacturing techniques have shown huge perspective in producing patient-specific braces, reducing material waste, and production times.This pilot study aimed at determining whether 3D-printed braces could induce advantages or disadvantages co

The neurophysiology of intraoperative error: An EEG study of trainee surgeons during robotic-assisted surgery simulations

Surgeons operate in mentally and physically demanding workspaces where the impact of error is highly consequential.Accurately characterizing the neurophysiology of surgeons during intraoperative error will help guide more accurate performance assessment and precision training for surgeons and other teleoperators.To better understand the neurophysio
