CONTEXT Joint position sense (JPS) is a key neuromuscular factor for developing and maintaining control of muscles around a joint. It is important when performing specialized tasks, especially at the shoulder. No researchers have studied how Kinesio Tape (KT) application affects JPS. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of KT application and no tape on shoulder JPS at increasing shoulder elev...

Abstract. In dentistry there is a problem of measuring temporomandibular joint head (condyle) trajectory relative to the skull. In this paper we propose a noninvasive photogrammetric method for this measurement. A camera is aimed at two known targets, the first is attached to the upper teeth (that is on the skull), the second is mounted on the lower teeth (on the jawbone). The relative position...

The following statement was prepared by the Special Committee to Revise the Joint American Academy of Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology/American Association of Endodontists Position on Cone Beam-Computed Tomography, and approved by the AAOMR Executive Council and AAE Board of Directors in May 2015. AAOMR members may photocopy this position statement for distribution to patients or referring dent...

PURPOSE Previous in vivo and in vitro studies of forearm supination-pronation suggest that distal radioulnar joint kinematics may be affected by elbow flexion. The primary hypotheses tested by this study were that, in vivo, ulnar variance changes with elbow flexion and forearm rotation, and the arc of forearm rotation changes in relationship to elbow flexion. METHODS Changes in radioulnar kin...

Background: Heat therapy is one of the natural treatments that can affect the information transferred by the proprioceptive receptors. Heat has an effect on the conduction velocity of peripheral nerves, but the exact effect of two kinds of deep and superficial heat on the joint position sense is not known clearly. The present study aimed to compare the effect of deep and superficial heat on ank...

Recently, a method for joint extraction of pitch and location information from two-channel recordings has been introduced. This framework offers a new, natural representation of all acoustic sources in the auditory scene, and has potential to be used as front-end in applications such as advanced tracking of multiple speakers in conference rooms. In this paper, we explore basic properties of thi...

Our knowledge of the role of muscle activation on proprioception is incomplete. Previous work has either focused on comparing active and passive motions or manipulated both muscle activation and joint angles simultaneously. We conducted an experiment at the shoulder in which subjects' trunks were tilted backwards to decouple joint angle from joint torque. Twenty three healthy subjects underwent...

rupture of the peroneous tertius was diagnosed in a 7-year-old stallion, based on clinical examinations.the stifle joint flexed as the limb was advanced forward without flexing the hock. when the limb was pulledbackward, the hock joint extended but the stifle was in the normal position. the recommended treatmentincluded complete stall rest for 6 weeks followed by limited exercise for 2 months. ...

The cognitive load associated with joint position sense increases with age but does not necessarily result in impaired performance in a joint position matching task. It is still unclear which factors interact with age to predict matching performance. To test whether movement amplitude and direction are part of such predictors, young and older adults performed a bimanual wrist joint position mat...
