The mechanical complications of osteosyntheses after hip fractures are previously investigated by mostly static or dynamic uniaxial loading test systems. However, the physiologic loading of the hip joint during a normal gait is a multiplanar, dynamic movement. Therefore, we constructed a system to test osteosyntheses for hip fractures under physiologic multiplanar loading representative of norm...

L imb disarticulation has been widely performed since the 18th century, especially in war surgery when reconstructive interventions have not been possible. Actually, limb disarticulation is infrequently done in orthopaedic and vascular surgery, and it is associated with a high mortality rate because of frequent comorbidities. Hip disarticulation usually is reserved for patients with neoplasms o...

Excessive tibial torsion, a rotational deformity about the long axis of the tibia, is common in patients with cerebral palsy who walk with a crouch gait. Previous research suggests that this deformity may contribute to crouch gait by reducing the capacity of soleus to extend the knee; however, the effects of excess external torsion on the capacity of other muscles to extend the stance limb duri...

background: children with myelomeningocele (mmc) develop a wide variety of hip deformities such as muscle imbalance, contracture, subluxation, and dislocation. various methods and indications have been introduced for treatment of muscle imbalances and other hip problems in patients with mmc but there is no study or meta-analysis to compare the results and complications. this review aims to find...

This investigation developed models to estimate aspects of physical activity and sedentary behavior from three-axis high-frequency wrist-worn accelerometer data. The models were developed and tested on 20 participants (n = 10 males, n = 10 females, mean age = 24.1, mean body mass index = 23.9), who wore an ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometer on their dominant wrist and an ActiGraph GT3X on the hip wh...

Relaxation potential of yogic exercises seems to play a vital role in establishing psycho-physical health in reversing the psycho-immunology of emotions under stress based on breath and body awareness. However, mechanism of yogic exercises for restoring health and fitness components operating through psycho-neuro-immunological pathways is unknown. Therefore, a hybrid model of human information ...

INTRODUCTION A misdiagnose and inadequate treatment of neonatal septic arthritis of the hip has multiple sequelae and causes a severe disability. The aim of this study is evaluation of treatment of residual deformity after type IVA neonatal septic arthritis of the hip by Pelvic support osteotomy. CASE PRESENTATION A 11-year-old, white girl, was treated surgically by pelvic support osteotomy. ...

Stars in their late stage of evolution, such as horizontal branch stars, are still largely unexplored for planets. We detected a planetary companion around HIP 13044, a very metal-poor star on the red horizontal branch, on the basis of radial velocity observations with a high-resolution spectrograph at the 2.2-meter Max-Planck Gesellschaft-European Southern Observatory telescope. The star's per...

This paper reports on the development of three automatic composition systems for dance that use 3D motion data captured from the performances of professional dancers. The systems can generate short choreographic works in three genres of dance: hip-hop dance, contemporary dance, and classical ballet. The authors label the method of automatic composition as analytic-synthetic choreography, where ...
