BACKGROUND Chêneau and Matthias introduced in 1979 a brace concept inspired in casting. The brace was initially named "CTM" from Chêneau-Toulouse-Münster. The name "CTM" is still popular in France but "Chêneau-type brace" is its common name in the rest of the world. Principles to construct this brace were originally based on anatomical descriptions rather than biomechanics, and its standard is ...

CONTEXT Foot-orthosis (FO) intervention to prevent and treat numerous lower extremity injuries is widely accepted clinically. However, the results of quantitative gait analyses have been equivocal. The foot models used, participants receiving intervention, and orthoses used might contribute to the variability. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of a custom-molded FO intervention on multiseg...

Biomechanics is the study of the relationship between forces and function in living organisms and is thought to play a critical role in a significant number of ophthalmic disorders. This is not surprising, as the eye is a pressure vessel that requires a delicate balance of forces to maintain its homeostasis. Over the past few decades, basic science research in ophthalmology mostly confirmed tha...

Previous studies have examined possible incentives for pursuing orthopedic fellowship training, but we are unaware of previously published studies reporting the trends in the orthopedic job market since the acceptance of certain criteria for fellowship programs by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) in 1985. We hypothesized that, since the initiation of accredited p...

Foreword Bridging motor control and biomechanics One can assume that motor control and biomechanics are united by a common goal to understand the basic mechanisms of the coordinated movements. Relationships between motor control and biomechanics are natural and the interdisciplinary research on that field has a long tradition in Poland. The origin can be delineated by the seminar entitled Schoo...

the purpose of this study is to survey cross section changes of the animal brain samples during the tension and compression tests and comparison of the experimental results for three animals: bovine, sheep, and rabbit. a linear elastic theory with considering the necking in tension and barreling in compression has been considered for brain tissue. bridgman method for tension and cross section u...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to provide a survey of new orthopedic products for use in the upper extremity. CONCLUSION Knowledge of the physiologic purpose, orthopedic trends, imaging findings, and complications is important in assessing new orthopedic devices.
