The purpose of this study was to determine prospectively gait related risk factors for exercise-related lower leg pain (ERLLP) in 400 physical education students. Static lower leg alignment was determined, and 3D gait kinematics combined with plantar pressure profiles were collected. After this evaluation, all sports injuries were registered by the same sports physician during the duration of t...

QUESTION What is the point prevalence and 12-month prevalence of lower limb musculoskeletal pain in rural Tibet? Does this differ with gender or age? What factors that could contribute to lower limb musculoskeletal pain are commonly present? DESIGN Observational study using an investigator-administered questionnaire and observation walks through villages. PARTICIPANTS 499 people aged 15 yea...

BACKGROUND T44 sprinting with an amputation is still in a state of relative infancy. Future scope for athletic training and prosthetic limb development may be assisted with a better understanding of information derived from T44 athletes when under race-based conditions. OBJECTIVES To investigate the behaviour of step count and step frequency when under competitive conditions. STUDY DESIGN T...

Locomotor disability (LMD) is common at older ages, and can lead to other significant disability and mortality. Prevalent pain has been shown to be associated with LMD. This article aimed to assess the association between changes in lower limb pain status (ascertained from a manikin) and changes in the level of self-reported LMD in a sample of UK adults age ≥ 50years, over a 6-year period (data...

embolectomy has long been the gold standard for treating limbs acutely threatened by arterial occlusion. delayed embolectomy has not been investigated adequately due to the belief that accompanying mortality and morbidity render the case futile. following our previous experience with late arterial repair for leg or knee salvage i we applied the same principle to limbs threatened with prolonged ...

BACKGROUND Pain-related abnormalities of the economy of walking are the most important factor adversely affecting overall physical activity of patients with chronic lower limb ischaemia. These patients are routinely managed conservatively, with the aim of improving pain-free claudication distance. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of HiToP on the functional status of the lower lim...

Gross-dependent lower limb lymphoedema is an unusual condition which can be painful particularly if ulceration occurs. Focused history and clinical examination in addition to appropriate radiological investigation aid in the diagnosis. It is difficult to treat and requires a multidisciplinary team including vascular surgeons, dermatologists and clinical nurse specialists. The primary treatment ...

Abstract Introduction An increasing number of frail older patients are undergoing surgical procedures. Frailty is an independent risk factor for increased hospital stay and adverse postoperative outcomes. This project aimed to assess frailty its management in lower limb critical ischaemia on the vascular ward at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Method A prospective review consecutive admissions admi...

The aim of this study was to present a critical limb ischemia (CLI) case treated with hybrid open–endovascular approach. A 77-year-old female diabetes mellitus and hypertension developed necrotic lesion involving the fourth fifth left toes. Cardiovascular renal function were decent. femoral pulse 3/3, popliteal/tibial pulses absent. diagnostic angiography lower an ipsilateral access performed, ...
