CAN MICROPROCESSOR KNEES REDUCE THE DISPARITY IN TRIPS AND FALLS RISKS BETWEEN ABOVE AND BELOW KNEE PROSTHESIS USERS?

Can microprocessor knees reduce the disparity in trips and falls risks between above and below knee prosthesis users?

While all lower limb prosthesis walkers have a high risk of tripping and/or falling, above knee prosthesis users are reported to fall more frequently.Recognising this, engineers designed microprocessor knees (MPK) to help mitigate these risks, but to what extent these devices reduce this disparity between above and below knee users is unclear.A ser

Automated high-throughput quantification of mitotic spindle positioning from DIC movies of Caenorhabditis embryos.

The mitotic spindle is a microtubule-based structure that elongates to accurately segregate chromosomes during anaphase.Its position within the cell also dictates the future cell cleavage plan, thereby determining daughter Recessed Power Outlet cell orientation within a tissue or cell fate adoption for polarized cells.Therefore, the mitotic spindle
