Patients with hemiplegia usually have weak muscle selectivity and usually perform strength at a secondary joint (secondary strength) during performing a strength at one joint (primary strength). The abnormal strength pattern between shoulder and elbow joint has been analyzed by the maximum value while the performing process with strength changing from 0 to maximum then to 0 was a dynamic proces...

DESCRIPTION A 26-year-old right-handed man presented with pain in his right ring finger after a physical altercation. Deformity and swelling in the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joint was evident. There was no open injury or sensory loss; flexion and extension were limited secondary to pain. X-ray showed posterior dislocation of the ring finger DIP joint without fracture.

Some topics of our twenty some years of joint work is discussed. Just to name a few; joint behavior of the maximum of the Wiener process and its location, global and local almost sure limit theorems, strong approximation of the planar local time difference, a general Strassen type theorem, maximal local time on subsets. AMS 2000 Subject Classification: Primary 60J15, Secondary 60F15, 60J55.

Aim Joint Hypermobility Syndrome (JHS) is an inherited disorder of the connective tissue and can lead to widespread pain, joint instability and fatigue. In order to understand where patients with musculoskeletal symptoms and JHS present to secondary care we have established the prevalence of JHS within the pain management service, a general rheumatology clinic and an orthopaedic clinic of a sin...

We propose a joint optimal power allocation and sensing threshold selection for capacity maximization at the secondary user (SU) in spectrum sharing (SS) cognitive radio networks (CRNs). Hence, both optimal power allocation (OPA) and spectrum sensing (SpSe) is considered in the SS CRNs model. The obtained results show that such a joint optimal selection improves the performance of the SU by max...

CONTEXT Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a common cause of hip pathology and secondary dysfunction among athletes. Much information has been gained regarding the cause and pathomechanics of this disorder. Now, efforts are focusing on treatment to restore the joint and reduce the secondary damage that causes painful dysfunction. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION This article reviews the scientific lit...

Hip arthrosis, primary or secondary, is an osteoarthritic degenerative process that affects the hip joint. Primary hip arthrosis has an unknown etiology, and secondary hip arthrosis has well defined causes; of these causes, some are known to lead to arthrosis of the hip in the young age patient. The surgical treatment aims either to preserve the patient’s hip joint, or to replace the joint. The...

Reconstruction and arthrodesis play a dominant role in the surgical treatment of various disorders of the hindfoot. Subtalar joint (STJ) arthrodesis has accomplished favorable results in the treatment of various disorders such as primary and secondary osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, neuromuscular disorders, congenital deformity, and adult hindfoot pathology. Likewise, STJ fusion provides ...

There are few reports on the surgical treatment of secondary malignancy arising from an osteochondroma on the lateral side of the proximal tibia. From March 2008 to December 2011, 3 patients were treated for a secondary chondrosarcoma from an osteochondroma of the proximal tibia involving the fibula. The operative procedure can be summed up as follows: (1) resection of the tumor including the f...

Lumbar microdiscectomy (MD) is the gold standard for treatment of lumbar disc herniation. Generally, the surgeon attempts to protect the facet joint in hopes of avoiding postoperative pain/instability and secondary degenerative arthropathy. We believe that preserving the facet joint is especially important in young patients, owing to their life expectancy and activity. However, preserving the f...
