osteoarthritis (oa) a common disease of aged population and one of the leading causes of disability. incidence of knee oa is rising by increasing average age of general population. age, weight, trauma to joint due to repetiting movements in particular squatting and kneeling are common risk factors of knee oa. several factors including cytokines, leptin, and mechanical forces are pathogenic fact...

Flatfoot is a condition in which part or all of the soles feet do not form an arch (longitudinal arch) as normal so that appear flat and touch ground. This makes function shock absorbers support for body weight during activities, cannot work properly. greatly affects development components, including flexibility balance. Flexibility balance are needed when person active, especially at age 2-6 y...

introduction: there are differences in the pattern of the knee joint formation of the studied species. according to the small number of studies which focused chronologically on the avian knee histomorphogenetic events, its “morphogenetic pattern” is hard to be proposed. the present work was designed to identify the sequential events of the knee formation in the partridge embryo. regarding to di...

conclusions significant improvement was noted at womac scale (pain level; 5 points, stiffness level; 2 points, physical function loss; 15 points, and total womac 22 points). osteoarthritis level of the patient was improved to grade i at radiological evaluation after a year. our case is the report that presents radiological evidence in addition to clinical findings of improvement of osteoarthrit...

background: the aim of this study is evaluation of the validity and reliability of the persian version of knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (koos) in patients with isolated meniscus injury. materials and methods: one hundred people with isolated meniscal injury (29 females and 71 males with a mean age ± standard deviation [sd] = 32.37 ± 9.97 years) and ?fty normal people with no knee...

Background Definition and clinical diagnosis of instability in TKA is challenging. Sensitive objective biomechanical tools to aid are currently lacking. This proof-of-concept study evaluates the use pressure mat analyses identify abnormal loading patterns associated with within an outpatient setting. Methods Twenty participants were examined: 10 patients suspected unilateral healthy controls. P...
