background: benign joint hypermobility syndrome (bjhs) is a disorder due to laxity of supporting connective tissue of joints. inguinal hernia is also proposed due to weak supporting tissue that may be a clinical presentation of a more widespread problem of connective tissue. materials and methods: in a cross-sectional study, prevalence of benign hypermobility joint syndrome (bhjs) was assessed ...

normal range of joint motion is an important factor in joint examination in clinical practice which is related to factors such as age, sex and geographic region. there is no data in the literature on the range of joint motions in healthy iranian adults. we studied joint motions in 100 healthy volunteer subjects, 49 men and 51 women, from 19 and 58 years of age. the joint mobility was examined i...

conclusions roll stitch technique had superior outcome compared to the modified kessler technique, when performed in the mcpj area. level of evidence: therapeutic (level iii) background proper suturing technique is needed to ensure good outcome in extensor tendon surgery. different techniques have been reported for the repair of extensor tendon injuries at the level of the metacarpophalangeal j...

a fundamental assumption in prosthetic dentistry is that the axis-orbital plane will usually be parallel to the horizontal reference plane. most articulator systems have incorporated this concept into their designs and use orbitale as the anterior reference point for transferring the vertical position of the maxilla to the articulator. clinical observations of cantonese patients suggest that in...

this paper presents a gaussian radial basis function neural network based on sliding mode control for trajectory tracking and vibration control of a flexible joint manipulator. to study the effectiveness of the controllers, designed controller is developed for tip angular position control of a flexible joint manipulator. the adaptation laws of designed controller are obtained based on sliding m...
