The planning approach by Fujisawa et al. aims to adjust the weight-bearing line to achieve an optimal knee joint load distribution. While this method is accessible, it may not fully consider the complexity of individual dynamic knee-loading profiles. This review aims to disclose existing alternative HTO planning methods that do not follow Fujisawa's standard. METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science and CENTRAL databases were screened, focusing on HTO research in combination with alternative planning approaches. RESULTS: Eight out of 828 studies were included, with seven simulation studies based on finite element analysis and multi-body dynamics. The planning approaches incorporated gradual degrees of realignment parameters (weight-bearing line shift, medial proximal tibial angle, hip- knee-ankle, knee joint line orientation), simulating their effect on knee kinematics, contact force/stress, Von Mises and shear stress. Two studies proposed implementing individual correction magnitudes derived from preoperatively predicted knee adduction moments. CONCLUSION: Most planning methods depend on static alignment assessments, neglecting an adequate loading-depending profile. They are confined to their conceptual phases, making the associated planning methods unviable for current clinical use.}, language = {en} } @article{SiqueiraRodriguesSchmidtIsraeletal.2024, author = {Siqueira Rodrigues, Lucas and Schmidt, Timo Torsten and Israel, Johann Habakuk and Nyakatura, John and Zachow, Stefan and Kosch, Thomas}, title = {Comparing the Effects of Visual, Haptic, and Visuohaptic Encoding on Memory Retention of Digital Objects in Virtual Reality}, journal = {NordiCHI '24: Proceedings of the 13th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction}, arxiv = {http://arxiv.org/abs/2406.14139}, doi = {10.1145/3679318.3685349}, pages = {1 -- 13}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Although Virtual Reality (VR) has undoubtedly improved human interaction with 3D data, users still face difficulties retaining important details of complex digital objects in preparation for physical tasks. To address this issue, we evaluated the potential of visuohaptic integration to improve the memorability of virtual objects in immersive visualizations. In a user study (N=20), participants performed a delayed match-to-sample task where they memorized stimuli of visual, haptic, or visuohaptic encoding conditions. We assessed performance differences between the conditions through error rates and response time. We found that visuohaptic encoding significantly improved memorization accuracy compared to unimodal visual and haptic conditions. Our analysis indicates that integrating haptics into immersive visualizations enhances the memorability of digital objects. We discuss its implications for the optimal encoding design in VR applications that assist professionals who need to memorize and recall virtual objects in their daily work.}, language = {en} } @article{SiqueiraRodriguesSchmidtNyakaturaetal.2024, author = {Siqueira Rodrigues, Lucas and Schmidt, Timo Torsten and Nyakatura, John and Zachow, Stefan and Israel, Johann Habakuk and Kosch, Thomas}, title = {Assessing the Effects of Sensory Modality Conditions on Object Retention across Virtual Reality and Projected Surface Display Environments}, volume = {8}, journal = {Proceedings of the ACM on Human-Computer Interaction}, number = {ISS}, doi = {10.1145/3698137}, pages = {255 -- 282}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Haptic feedback reportedly enhances human interaction with 3D data, particularly improving the retention of mental representations of digital objects in immersive settings. However, the effectiveness of visuohaptic integration in promoting object retention across different display environments remains underexplored. Our study extends previous research on the retention effects of haptics from virtual reality to a projected surface display to assess whether earlier findings generalize to 2D environments. Participants performed a delayed match-to-sample task incorporating visual, haptic, and visuohaptic sensory feedback within a projected surface display environment. We compared error rates and response times across these sensory modalities and display environments. Our results reveal that visuohaptic integration significantly enhances object retention on projected surfaces, benefiting task performance across display environments. Our findings suggest that haptics can improve object retention without requiring fully immersive setups, offering insights for the design of interactive systems that assist professionals who rely on precise mental representations of digital objects.}, language = {en} } @article{PichtLeCalveTomaselloetal.2021, author = {Picht, Thomas and Le Calve, Maxime and Tomasello, Rosario and Fekonja, Lucius and Gholami, Mohammad Fardin and Bruhn, Matthias and Zwick, Carola and Rabe, J{\"u}rgen P. and M{\"u}ller-Birn, Claudia and Vajkoczy, Peter and Sauer, Igor M. and Zachow, Stefan and Nyakatura, John A. and Ribault, Patricia and Pulverm{\"u}ller, Friedemann}, title = {A note on neurosurgical resection and why we need to rethink cutting}, volume = {89}, journal = {Neurosurgery}, number = {5}, doi = {10.1093/neuros/nyab326}, pages = {289 -- 291}, year = {2021}, language = {en} }
