The aim of this study was to investigate joint mobility, segmental and general spinal mobility and their interrelationship in 607 women working as homecare personnel. Joint mobility (mainly peripheral) was estimated using the "Beighton" score. Spinal posture and mobility were measured by Debrunner's kyphometer. Passive segmental mobility and pain provocation were estimated manually. Reliability...

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...

OBJECTIVE To assess the role of limited joint mobility (LJM) in causing abnormal high plantar pressures in the forefoot of diabetic patients with an at-risk foot. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 70 type 1 or type 2 diabetic patients and 30 control subjects participated in this cross-sectional study. Thirty-five diabetic patients with an at-risk foot, defined as a foot with neuropathy b...

The authors in this case report highlight the poor outcome of radiation synovectomy (RSV) for repeated knee joint effusion in a patient with histopathologically proven nonspecific arthritis. There was partial response initially following RSV but later follow-up showed recurrence in joint effusion with limited and painful mobility of the knee joint. Subsequent surgical synovectomy and histopatho...

Video streaming over wireless network is challenging due to node mobility and high channel error rate. In this paper, we propose a joint server/peer, proxy-driven video streaming architecture to support high quality video streaming service over IEEE 802.11-based wireless networks. The video proxy tracks peer mobility pattern, coordinates among multiple senders and performs rate-distortion optim...

OBJECTIVES To examine the association between limited joint mobility (LJM) and complications of diabetes in adult patients with type 1 diabetes. DESIGN Cross-sectional study in diabetic patients and healthy controls. SETTING The study was performed at the department of medicine in Turku University Hospital (n = 103), a private diabetes outpatient clinic (n = 153) and the municipal health ce...
