CONTEXT Regaining full, active range of motion (AROM) after trauma to the wrist is difficult. OBJECTIVE To report the cases of 6 patients who lacked full range of motion (ROM) in the wrist due to trauma. The treatment regimen was thermal 3-MHz ultrasound and joint mobilizations. DESIGN Case series. SETTING University therapeutic modalities laboratory. PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS Six ...

Many jets exhibit twisted helical structures. Where superluminal motions are detected, jet orientation and pattern/flow speed are considerably constrained. In this case modeling efforts can place strong limits on conditions in the jet and in the external environment. This can be done by modeling the spatial development of helical structures which are sensitively dependent on these conditions. A...

background: pain and limited range of motion (rom) are the crucial subsequent results of joint hemorrhages in individuals with bleeding disorders and hemophilia. exercise interventions are particularly recommended in treatment of such patients. the purpose of this study was to detect the influences of conventional exercise therapy and hydrotherapy on the knee joint complications in patients wit...

Abnormal joint mobility is an important factor in movement dysfunction and physical disability. Because the decision to treat impaired joint mobility in an older individual may be influenced by assumptions concerning normal range of motion (ROM) at older ages, it is important to establish population-based normative values for hip and knee ROM by age, race, and sex. This study used data from the...

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION Intracardiac tumours move both with breathing and with the cardiac cycle; they therefore pose unique problems for radiotherapy delivery. Conventional radiotherapy must encompass the tumour with a margin to account for this motion, and the prescription is limited by myocardial radiation tolerance. The greater accuracy of radiosurgery allows higher radiation-dose deposition, wi...

In 2009 we created the D64 corpus, a multi-modal corpus which consists of roughly eight hours of natural, non-directed spontaneous interaction in an informal setting. Five participants feature in the recordings and their conversations were captured by microphones (room, body mounted and head mounted), video cameras and a motion capture system. The large amount of video, audio and motion capture...

Current B This conversion sacrifi ces color vision in favor of improved sensitivity in motion detection. Love spot R7s are modifi ed in two main ways: fi rst, they now respond to a broad spectrum instead of narrower ranges of color; and second, they connect to the motion-processing and spatial vision pathways of the brain — to the lamina instead of the medulla. This rewiring of the brain contri...

Buried in a list of 20 million Web search queries collected by AOL and recently released on the Internet is user No. 4417749. The number was assigned by the company to protect the searcher’s anonymity, but it was not much of a shield. No. 4417749 conducted hundreds of searches over a three-month period on topics ranging from “numb fi ngers” to “60 single men” to “dog that urinates on everything...
