Haptic force rendering of rigid-body interactions: A systematic review

Haptic rendering has been developing for decades with different rendering approaches and many factors that affect the stability when rendering rigid-body interactions have been investigated. To get an overall understanding of the challenges in haptic rendering, we approach this topic by conducting a systematic review. This review examines different haptic rendering approaches and how to deal with instability factors in rendering. A total of 25 papers are reviewed to answer the following questions: (1) what are the most common haptic rendering approaches for rigid-body interaction? and (2) what are the most important factors for instability of haptic rendering and how to address them? Through the process of investigating these questions, we get the insight that transparency can be further explored and technical terms to describe haptic rendering can be more standardized to push the topic forward.

This problem is a generalization of the classical problem of the stability of a spinning rigid body. We obtain the stability chart by using: (i) the computer algebra system MACSYMA in conjunction with a perturbation method, and (ii) numerical integration based on Floquet theory. We show that the form of the stability chart is different for each of the three cases in which the spin axis is the minimum, maximum, or middle principal moment of inertia axis. In particular, a rotation with arbitrarily small angular velocity about the maximum moment of inertia axis can be made unstable by appropriately choosing the model parameters. In contrast, a rotation about the minimum moment of inertia axis is always stable for a sufficiently small angular velocity. The MACSYMA program, which we used to obtain the transition curves, is included in the Appendix.

Definition Of

The computation of angular acceleration of a rigid body from measured linear accelerations is a simple procedure, based on well-known kinematic principles. It can be shown that, in theory, a minimum of six linear accelerometers are required for a complete definition of the kinematics of a rigid body. However, recent attempts in impact biomechanics to determine general three-dimensional motion of body segments were unsuccessful when only six accelerometers were used. This paper demonstrates the cause for this inconsistency between theory and practice and specifies the conditions under which the method fails. In addition, an alternate method based on a special nine-accelerometer configuration is proposed. The stability and superiority of this approach are shown by the use of hypothetical as well as experimental data.

Sarcopenia is a progressive generalized skeletal muscle disorder, which may increase the risk of osteopenia. The aim of this study was to systematically review studies on the association between sarcopenia and osteopenia by pooled analysis. The PubMed and Embase databases were searched from inception to October 2020 for studies focusing on the association between sarcopenia and osteopenia. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed study quality. A pooled analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) using random-effects models. Subgroup analysis was conducted to explore the source of heterogeneity and the stability of outcome. A total of 25 independent studies involving 47,744 participants fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Sarcopenia significantly increased the risk of osteopenia (OR, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.66–2.60); Sensitivity analyses indicated the outcome was stable. Subgroup analyses showed that sarcopenia significantly increased osteopenia risk in each subgroup. No evidence of publication bias among the studies existed. In this study, our findings showed that sarcopenia significantly increased the risk of osteopenia. Thus, we suggest that sarcopenia can be a predictor of osteopenia risk.

Supination External Rotation

Category: Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Differentiating stable isolated fibula fractures consistent with supination external rotation (SER) II ankle fractures from unstable SER IV fractures is essential in determining the need for surgical stabilisation. Stress radiographs are usually required to assess stability including gravity stress views (GSV) and external rotation views (ER). There is no clear consensus as to which modality is most useful to determine stability in a fracture clinic or emergency setting. In last, few years clinical uncertainty about the reliability has led researcher to focus on weight bearing radiographs (WB) .We aim to review recent literature regarding reliability of WB radiographs to estimate the stability of supination external rotation ankle fractures. Methods: A systematic review of the literature relating to radiological assessment of stability of supination external rotation ankle fractures was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. The systematic review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO. It involved the following steps: Researching the question-Do weight bearing radiographs estimate the stability of an isolated distal fibula fracture? Setting inclusion and exclusion criteria-All English language articles published in the including any Randomised controlled trials (RCT’s) and cohort studies. Data collection)– A literature search of Medline (PubMed), the Cochrane Bone, Joint, and Muscle Trauma Group trial register, the Cochrane central register of controlled trials, Embase and CINAHL was undertaken. The grey literature was searched. Key terms ‘supination external rotation fracture’, ‘stability’. Other variations to the key words were ‘weight bearing’, “axial load”, ‘stress x-rays’, ‘systematic reviews’ and ‘meta-analysis’. Results: A total of six studies met the inclusion criteria including 601 patients. No previous systematic review on stress radiographs including weight bearing was published. All studies concluded weight bearing radiographs is an easy, pain-free, safe and reliable method to estimate stability of isolated distal fibula fractures. No serious concerns or complications were reported. Conclusion: The evidence base contained many methodological limitations and most of the evidence was either level III or IV, and so any conclusion drawn from the research must be done so with caution. The studies suggest that GSV overestimates the instability which should be assessed with studies should focus on randomized controlled trials with narrow range of clinically useful outcome measures.
