AIMS/INTRODUCTION Although male diabetic patients have an increased risk of fracture, there is little information about this in the literature. The association between heel bone stiffness and the lifestyle of male patients with diabetes was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 108 participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and 168 age-adjusted, healthy male volunteers....

Several pathologies of the foot can be solved simply by adding an orthosis under the patient’s foot. Defining the geometry and the size of such orthosis is key in optimizing its influence on the foot. For example, an orthosis with a heel lift (HL) has an increased height below the heel to force the patient to put his weight on front of the foot. An orthosis with a metatarsal bar associated with...

The patrol boat is one of the critical aspects for archipelago countries, such as Indonesia, to supervise and maintain sea border. Due rough conditions, could lose its stability due loss a self-righting roll moment in severe waves. One most challenging ensure sufficient during conditions. Another challenge design that has rolling extreme This paper examines an anti-capsize ship by improving wit...

Research on dance lower extremity joint motion has been limited. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate limb biomechanics differences between side chasse step (SCS) and bounce (BS) second landing phase in Jive. Thirteen female recreational Latin dancers (Age: 22 ± 2.5 years; Height: 1.65 0.05 m; Weight: 50 4.5 kg; Dance experience: 4 2 years) were involved experiment. The same music...

Quantification of plantar tissue behavior of the heel pad is essential in developing computational models for predictive analysis of preventive treatment options such as footwear for patients with diabetes. Simulation based studies in the past have generally adopted heel pad properties from the literature, in return using heel-specific geometry with material properties of a different heel. In e...

HYPOTHESIS Plantar heel pain (plantar fasciitis) is a common and disabling condition. A variety of treatment options are available to patients with plantar heel, however the evidence for these treatments is generally weak and the best way to manage plantar heel pain remains unclear. Trigger point dry needling is increasingly used as an adjunct therapy for musculoskeletal pain. In patients with ...

Roughstairway consisting of overflow from the stairs near the crest of the weir is started and continues tohave a l...

The role of carrying angle in the sex determination and its cause of formation is a long debated issue in Anatomy and Anthropology. Most studies have focused on the question of cause of formation of carrying angle, difference in sex and age but little attention has been given to correlate the carrying angle with various parameters. Hence, an effort has been made to find out correlation of carry...
