The Ad Hoc Committee of Terminology of the Japanese Society for Surgery of the Foot (JSSF) proposes novel terminology for motion of the ankle, foot, and toe because there are some ambiguities in the current terminology. Articles were identified by searching the electronic databases of PubMed that compared definitions of American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), International Society ...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether biplane transoesophageal imaging offers advantages in the evaluation of mitral prostheses when compared with standard single transverse plane imaging or the precordial approach in suspected prosthetic dysfunction. DESIGN Prospective mitral valve prosthesis in situ using precordial and biplane transoesophageal ultrasonography. SETTING Tertiary cardiac referral...

Purpose. The modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT) assesses dynamic neuromuscular control, with predictive ability regarding lower extremity injury risk. Previous kinematic mSEBT analyses are limited to sex differences between injured or fatigued populations or non-fatigued groups in the sagittal plane only. We hypothesize that sex differences exist in the frontal and transverse plane ki...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES To determine if runners with a history of Achilles tendonopathy (AT) demonstrate a difference in transverse-plane motion and moments at the distal tibia and knee compared to runners without a history of AT. BACKGROUND One of the more prevalent overuse running injuries is AT. It has been hypothesized that prolonged pronation causes contradi...

Say that a surface in S ⊂ R has the central plane oval property, or cpo, if • S meets some affine plane transversally along an oval, and • Every such transverse plane oval on S has central symmetry. We show that a complete, connected C surface with cpo must either be a cylinder over a central oval, or else quadric. We apply this to deduce that a complete C surface containing a transverse plane ...

In the present work, thermo-electro vibration of the piezoelectric nanoplates resting on the elastic foundations using nonlocal elasticity theory are considered. In-plane and transverse displacements of the nanoplate have been approximated by six different modified shear deformation plate theories considering transverse shear deformation effects and rotary inertia. Moreover, two new distributio...

STUDY DESIGN In vivo noninvasive study. OBJECTIVE To properly quantify pedicle anatomic parameters, using subject-based CT three-dimensional models and compare the data from 2-dimensional transverse-CT images. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Accurate measurement of morphometric parameters of pedicle isthmus is important for transpedicular procedures. Anatomically, the lumbar pedicle is known to ...

The aim of this study was to compare shoulder muscle force and moment production during external rotation performed in the transverse and sagittal planes. An optimization model was used for estimating shoulder muscle force production of infraspinatus, teres minor, supraspinatus, anterior deltoid, middle deltoid and posterior deltoid muscles. The model uses as input data the external rotation mo...

We classify transverse Hopf links in the standard contact 3-space up to transverse isotopy in terms of their components’ self-linking number. 1 The statement of result A contact structure on a 3-manifold is a completely non-integrable 2-plane field on it. Let ξ0 be the standard contact structure on 3-space R 3 = {(x, y, z)}, that is, a 2-plane field on R defined by the kernel of the 1-form dz −...
