Introduction Klippel-Feil syndrome (KFS) is a congenital anomaly resulting from fusion of cervical vertebral bodies secondary to the dysregulation of signaling pathways during somite development. It is commonly associated with scoliosis and Sprengel deformity. We present a case of KFS with commonly associated abnormalities as well as deformities that have not yet been reported in the literature...

to report a case of buphthalmos with neurofibromatosis (nf-1) who suffered with blindness suffered enucleation. physical examination & histopathology were performed. physical examination revealed buphthalmos & vascularized cornea with lower lid ectropion and orbital deformity. histopathologic findings shows plexiform neurofibroma in orbital tissue with scleral wall involvement. and hamartomatou...

objectives: skeletal-muscular disorders affect the biomechanics of the human body, especially the lower extremity, with a negative effect on the biomechanics of exercise. the main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fatigue on the kinematic variables of knee joints during countermovement jumps in female students of physical education with valgus knee deformity.  methods: fifteen sub...

The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of spinal deformity with physical function and self-perception in children with spina bifida. Ninety-eight eligible children with scoliosis and spina bifida were identified; 80 of them (82%) consented to participate. Spinal deformity was measured in many ways, including scoliosis, coronal balance, and pelvic obliquity. Measures of phys...

BACKGROUND A cross-sectional study was performed to describe the upper limb deformity and function in cerebral palsy patients and to determine the correlation of deformity, spasticity, motor control, and sensation to hand function in the said population. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty patients satisfying our inclusion criteria underwent physical, sensory, and functional assessment using a stand...

The Effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy on Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Perfectionism Concerns in Students with Physical Deformity

Valgus deformity can exist during knee flexion besides extension, which could lead to patellofemoral joint instability and soft tissue imbalance in the flexion gap, and thus complicate the surgical procedures. Valgus deformity during knee flexion can be measured by radiographic analysis using long‐film radiograph and computed tomography (CT) scans.[4] It usually results from a bone defect in th...
