A Physiological Dynamic Testing Machine for the Elbow Joint
BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to develop a test setup combining realistic force transmission with physiological movement patterns at a frequency that mimicked daily use of the elbow, to assess implants in orthopedic joint reconstruction and trauma surgery. METHODS In a multidisciplinary approach, an in vitro biomechanical testing machine was developed and manufactured that could simulat...
متن کاملThe Measurement of Rigidity in Elbow Joint: An Objective Method for the Evaluation of Parkinson's disease
Introduction: One of the most common syndromes in Parkinson's disease (PD) is rigidity. Currently, an index is used to evaluate the level of PD by the clinical measurement of rigidity in the upper extremity. The index uses a subjective method called Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating System (UPDRS). The subjective nature of this method makes the influence of physician in the measurement of rigi...
متن کاملElbow Stiffness Secondary to Elbow Joint Osteoid Osteoma, a Diagnostic Dilemma
We present a 23-year-old man with distal humerus osteoid osteoma referring to our hospital with pain and progressive stiffness. The patient has been suffering from the disease for two years without a certain diagnosis. The radiographies of elbow did not reveal the pathology but further CT scan and MRI studies demonstrated the tumor. The en block resection of the tumor resolved the pain immediat...
متن کاملA posterior approach to the elbow joint.
We describe a posterior approach to the elbow which combines the advantages of both splitting and reflecting the triceps. It gives protection to the ulnar nerve and its blood supply during the operation while providing excellent exposure of the distal humerus. During closure, the triceps muscle can be tensioned, thereby improving stability of the elbow. This approach has particular relevance to...
متن کاملManagement of the elbow joint.
The elbow is a complex joint that is prone to bleeding episodes. These features as well as the close proximity of the ulnar nerve and the need to use the elbow in many activities of daily living can lead to a range of symptoms including recurrent bleeds, pain, instability or loss of range of movement and nerve compression. Conservative management includes splinting and proprioceptive retraining...
