CLINICAL SCENARIO Ankle taping and bracing are commonly used to reduce the risk of sports-related ankle sprains. Mechanical- and neuromuscular-control facilitation has been the focus of their effectiveness. Another potential advantage to using ankle taping or bracing is an increased sense of confidence, stability, and reassurance that the individual may experience when performing a dynamic-bala...

Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability around the world. Knee bracing provides a conservative management option for symptom relief. A variety of different bracing types, manufacturers and products are currently available on the market.

PURPOSE Treatment of idiopathic clubfoot with the Ponseti method is now standard, but predicting relapse can be difficult. Most experts recommend bracing to the age of four years, but this can be challenging for families, and may not be necessary in all patients. The purpose of this study is to compare patterns of bracing and age of relapse to help determine if predictable patterns exist. MET...

In this paper the results of an experimental program were presented to show effect cross bracing on behavior composite bridges. Two types models prepared in laboratories American University Cairo Egypt. These chosen be one tenth scale model Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Deflections and strains measured for each according set comparisons made bracing.

In this paper, a real-time monitoring system—including vibration acceleration sensors, temperature and static dynamic strain sensors—is used to monitor the safety status of steel assembly bracing in practical project. It uses 5G wireless networking technology transmit data cloud server for early warning abnormal changes development trends. Real-time obtained construction site are as inputs fini...

Background The International Scientific Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment (SOSORT) produced its first guidelines in 2005 and renewed them in 2011. Recently published high-quality clinical trials on the effect of conservative treatment approaches (braces and exercises) for idiopathic scoliosis prompted us to update the last guidelines' version. The objective was to al...
