OBJECTIVE To model the kinematics of the canine stifle in 3 dimensions using the Joint Coordinate System (JCS) and compare the JCS method with linear and segmental models. STUDY DESIGN In vivo biomechanical study. ANIMALS Normal adult mixed breed dogs (n=6). METHODS Dogs had 10 retroreflective markers affixed to the skin on the right pelvic limb. Dogs were walked and trotted 5 times throu...

CHRONIC volar flexion contracture of the fingers particularly following crush injuries or deep lacerations is frequently accompanied by shortening of deeper structures as well as skin. Surgical release of the contracture often exposes bare tendons and sometimes joints, and flap cover is required. Jackson and Brown (1970) described the use of cross-finger flaps for such cases. Joshi (1972) recom...

A kinematic study was performed to examine the influence of elbow position on the range of supination and pronation of the forearm. The ranges of supination and pronation were measured in 50 volunteers (25 men and 25 women) using a custom-designed jig which constrained unwanted and confounding movements of the limb. Measurements were taken with the elbow in full extension, 45 degrees flexion, 9...

Patients Between December 2007 and January 2013, we treated patients with postprimary TKA flexion contractures with CPSNB in conjunction with an aggressive physical therapy regimen. The inclusion criteria consisted of flexion contractures greater than 15° after primary TKA and at least 3 months of conventional physical therapy with no improvement. The exclusion criteria consisted of patients wh...

We compared the results in two groups of patients with late reduction of posterior elbow dislocations, one of which had lengthening of the triceps (group A, n = 36) and the other did not (group B, n = 34). The elbows had all been dislocated for more than one month and less than three months. The patients in group B had better clinical results and significantly less postoperative flexion contrac...

Prolonged walking with knee joint contracture causes changes in the functioning of muscles lower leg and foot. Objective. To study foot conditions using a human model. Methods. The gait analysis was performed OpenSim 4.0 program. modeling based on gait2394 following were studied: m. peroneus brevis, longus, tertius, tibialis posterior, anterium, flexor digitorum hallucis extensor longus. Result...

In this paper, we develop a new gravitational lensing inversion technique. While traditional approaches assume that the lensing field varies little across a galaxy image, we note that this variation in the field can give rise to a “Flexion” or bending of a galaxy image, which may then be used to detect a lensing signal with increased signal to noise. Since the significance of the Flexion signal...
