UNLABELLED The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different muscle length and visual feedback information (VFI) on accuracy of isometric contraction of elbow flexors in men after an ischemic stroke (IS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Maximum voluntary muscle contraction force (MVMCF) and accurate determinate muscle force (20% of MVMCF) developed during an isometric contraction of elbow f...

background:  elbow surgery is shared by several subspecialties. we were curious about the most common elbow surgeries and their corresponding diagnoses in the united states.   methods:  we used the national hospital discharge survey (nhds) and the national survey of ambulatory surgery (nsas) data gathered in 2006-databases that together provide an estimate of all inpatient and ambulatory surgic...

Significant excursion of the ulnar nerve is required for unimpeded upper extremity motion. This study evaluated the excursion necessary to accommodate common motions of daily living and associated strain on the ulnar nerve. The 2 most common sites of nerve entrapment, the cubital tunnel and the entrance of Guyon's canal, were studied. Five fresh-frozen, thawed transthoracic cadaver specimens (1...

Abstract The aim of this paper is to numerically investigate Vibration-Based Leak Detection (VBLD) method in pipeline systems based on Fluid–Structure Interaction (FSI) analysis predict leakages. In previous investigations, laboratory tests were widely used study the VBLD technique small-diameter water loop system pipes. current project uses Ansys Workbench extend these findings by integrating ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between myoelectric activities of wrist flexors and extensors and hand grip strength at four different positions of shoulder and elbow joints. Subjects: Thirteen normal male university students volunteered to participate in this study. Their mean ages, weights and heights were 19.6 (± 1.06) years, 75.9 (± 7.51) Kg and 173.5 (...

3-Dimensional elbow implant was built with SOLIDWORKS 2014 and the finite element analysis was performed with ANSYS. Designs of elbow implants were compared based on the linked, semi-constrained elbow implant design that was chosen and built in this study. The daily activities was said to be achieved within range of 30 degrees to 130 degrees of angle of flexion. Three common angles were picked ...

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of micro-locking plate through vertical or parallel technique for treatment Dubberley B-type capitellar fractures. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed in 24 patients (17 males and seven females, with an average age 44.9 years, range from 19 to 75 years) fractures that were treated using between January 2016 2019. The inclusion criteria incl...
