Alan MacGill¹; Ben Koerber² ¹HCA Florida Northwest Hospital, Margate, FL, USA ²Icarus Medical, Charlottesville, VA, USA Abstract The Icarus “HERMES” adjustable dorsiflexion-assist AFO was trialed in three patients presenting with […]
Abstract: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a widespread, debilitating disease; however, the current treatment options either increase risk of complications or reflect mixed efficacy in pain reduction. Patients need new solutions […]
Abstract: This paper summarizes the clinical outcomes and biomechanical impacts of a prospective study on the Icarus Ascender brace in alpine skiers with patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA), conducted by the Steadman […]
Progression of medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) is primarily driven by excessive joint forces, leading to progressive cartilage loss and subsequent pain and functional impairment. 1 The loss of cartilage in this […]
Patellar tendon ruptures are uncommon but serious injuries with a reported incidence of 0.68 per 100,000 individuals annually.1 These injuries result in significant functional impairment; complete ruptures are typically characterized […]
