There is no standardized method reported in the literature to measure ROM of the ankle after a total ankle arthroplasty, which limits the possibility to compare results from the various ankle designs. It seems that most of the measurements are a combination of ankle and midfoot motion, not the tibiotalar joint. A protocol was developed to accurately measure the true tibiotalar and midfoot motio...

QUESTION What is the effect of wearing splints at night to stretch the plantarflexors on dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) in people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease? DESIGN Randomised, assessor-blinded, cross-over trial. PARTICIPANTS 14 people (1 dropout) aged 7 to 30 years with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease Type 1A and with < or = 15 degrees dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM). INTERVENTI...

OBJECTIVE To assess whether there the final range of motion (ROM) results achieved by patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with prosthesis using Medial Pivot design are predictable. METHODS Between January and August of 2014, 155 patients with primary osteoarthritis of knee who underwent TKA using the prosthesis ADVANCE® Medial Pivot were prospectively assessed. All ROM measures ...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to evaluate the kinematics of the ankle in the lunge to estabilish effectiveness of an ankle stretching orthosis (ASO) on the ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) of individuals with limited dorsiflexion ROM. [Subjects and Methods] Forty ankles with decreased dorsiflexion ROM of 20 participants were evaluated in this study. After wearing the ASO, part...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether adolescents and young adults with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) have a greater prevalence of impaired range of motion (ROM) of the limbs and spine than healthy control patients. STUDY DESIGN Case-control study comparing rates of abnormal ROM in 48 consecutive adolescents and young adults with CFS and 48 healthy control patients matched by sex and joint hypermob...

We propose a non-intrusive deep learning-based reduced order model (DL-ROM) capable of capturing the complex dynamics mechanical systems showing inertia and geometric nonlinearities. In first phase, limited number high fidelity snapshots are used to generate POD-Galerkin ROM which is subsequently exploited data, covering whole parameter range, in training phase DL-ROM. A convolutional autoencod...

Opportunities exist for publishers of opticaLbased information products In two arenas: (1) niche marketing of high-den&y information products in CDROM format, and (2) micro-marketing of tailored information products to a small number of customers. The rnkYcF market publishers will represent a larger industry than the nfche market publishers by 1993. Tomorrow’s products will be built on a techno...

STUDY DESIGN Prospective evaluation of gait and spinal range of motion (ROM) in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients undergoing either an anterior or a posterior spinal fusion. OBJECTIVE Compare changes in gait and spine ROM between AIS patients undergoing either an anterior or posterior spinal fusion. SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND DATA Problems with AIS posterior spinal fusion and attem...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of different durations of stretching (five or 15 seconds) on active and passive range of motion (ROM) in the lower extremity during a five week flexibility training programme. METHOD Twenty four university sport club members (19 men, five women), with a mean (SD) age of 20.5 (1.35) years, were randomly assigned to one of three groups (two treatment and one...
