background postural instability is one of the common problems of aging. however, with increased age many systems of body such as musculoskeletal system are affected and changed. one of these changes is knee flexion contracture. the study aimed to investigate the simulated knee flexion contracture effects on postural stability in elderly. material and methods 15 elderly subjects (11 men, 4 women...

This work presents the nonlinear analysis of dynamics large strain deformation subsea flowlines and jumpers conveying two-phase fluid. Precisely, flexible pipes operating in stated condition undergo deformations. Thus, known deterministic model system is solved using method discretized perturbation. this study obtained natural frequency simply supported modelled theory. Results show that both h...

background there is controversy regarding routine prophylaxis for deep vein thrombosis (dvt) in patients treated via a short leg cast or splint following lower extremity trauma. results there were 95 patients with an average age of 38 ± 13.7 (77.9% males); 46 patients had at least one risk factor for dvt. the d-dimer test was positive in 21(22.1%) patients. dvt was confirmed by due in 3 patient...

introduction: knee osteoarthritis (ko) is the most common joint disease for which there is no optimal treatment. monochromatic infrared photo energy (mipe) is a relatively new light modality used to reduce pain and increase circulation. low level laser therapy (lllt) is another light modality used to reduce pain in ko. methods: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of the mipe and ll...

background:   patellofemoral pain syndrome (pfps) is defined as pain surrounding the patella when sitting with bent knees for prolonged periods of time or when performing activities like ascending or descending stairs, squatting or   athletic activities. patella dislocation is not included in pfps.     purpose:   this review analyzes the evidence based conservative management of pfps.   methods...

the clinical use of prp therapy in the practical setting of orthopaedic fields is increasing partly because of the accessibility of devices that are used in outpatient preparation and delivery. another reason is the strong advertisement of prp procedures as the ultimate treatment and novel technology for knee problems by a few orthopaedic surgeons based on claims of abundant scientific evidence...
