Intra-arterial pressure in the brachial artery was compared with that in the femoral artery in children. There were no significant differences in systolic, diastolic, or mean pressures. The average auscultatory systolic pressure in the arm, obtained with a cuff 20% wider than the limb, was identical to the average direct systolic pressure in the brachial and femoral arteries. The auscultatory s...

Background: The effect of Leg-Length Discrepancy (LLD) on dynamic gait parameters has been extensively discussed. Podobarography is the study foot-to-ground pressure distribution. It used to test plantar footprint deviations that could reveal pathology. Purpose: aim this determine effects simulated LLD measured with a platform in healthy subjects. Methods: Thirty-seven subjects participated obs...

[Purpose] This study aimed to verify the change in range of motion of the temporomandibular joint on correction of scoliosis. [Subjects and Methods] This study examined 31 male and female participants in their 20s and 30s with a spinal curve degree of 10° or greater. The subjects performed therapeutic exercise based on the pilates exercise system, which is known to be effective in mitigating th...

1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 50-year-old otherwise well gentleman presented with mild pain and stiffness in his right ankle. Remarkably, radiographs revealed gross congenital deformities. The ankle mortice was semicircular and the subtalar joints fused ( fi gure 1 ). There were only three metatarsals. The bases of the proximal phalanges of the fi rst and second toes were fused and articulated with the ...

Background In spite the instinct social&financial impact of Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD), controversial and conflicting results still exist regarding a reliable assessment/correction method. For proper management it's essential to discriminate between anatomical&functional Leg Length Discrepancy (FLLD). With the newly invented NPoS (New Postural Solution), under the umbrella of the collaboratio...

BACKGROUND Management of gap nonunion of tibia is technically difficult, time consuming, physically and psychologically demanding for the patient with unpredictable results. Various techniques have been described in literature for the treatment of gap nonunions, but each one has its own limitations. PURPOSE This study reports the outcomes of ipsilateral fibular transposition for reconstructio...

[Purpose] This study was conducted to examine the effect of pelvic stabilization exercise and 3D equipment exercise on adult women with Functional Leg-Length Discrepancy (FLLD). [Subjects and Methods] Twenty female students in their 20's having FLLD without Structural Leg Length Discrepancy were selected. Exercise was performed for 50 min per session, three times a week, for six weeks. The Pelv...

The Authors present a match-paired study between computer assisted and free-hand techniques using a short modular femoral stem in total hip arthroplasty (Metha, B.Braun Aesculap, Tuttelingen; Germany). They assessed surgical time, clinical outcome, dislocation rate, limb length and off-set in 44 patients with ideal indication for this more conservative implants. Despite both longer surgical tim...
