The main purpose of the study is to investigate the inversion/eversion muscle strength balance of the ankle in patients with medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS). A dysbalance of these muscles may play a role in the pathophysiology of MTSS. Another aim is to measure the medial longitudinal arch and navicular drop in patients with MTSS. A total of 11 patients diagnosed with MTSS in the outpatien...

Football is a demanding sport requiring specifi c repetitive technical gestures involving the foot and ankle. This must be taken into account in the understanding of complaints, the search for diagnostics, and the selection of the appropriate action. Patient’s expectations usually include full recovery with fast return to previous activity level. Overuse and post-trauma events (isolated or in a...

The advanced static VAR compensator (now widely known as the static condenser or STATCON) uses a high power self-commutating inverter to draw reactive current from a transmission line. Two fundamentally different types of invertor can be used for this purpose, one providing control of output voltage magnitude and phase angle, and the other having only phase angle control. For each of these type...
