introduction: the use of multiple cameras for motion analysis and single joint motion is very difficult and needs high technology in laboratory conditions. detection of single joint motion in kinesthesia and analysis of its changes can be done by one camera at one direction. in this study, we present the validity and reliability of a new prototype simulator system used for motion analysis appli...

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...

aim: abnormal joint mobility is an important factor in movement dysfunction and physical disability. a general lack of descriptive details exists for measurements of hip rotation range of motion (rom). this study was designed to establish the influence of hip position on active and passive range of motion of the hip in external and internal rotation(ext & int rot). material & methods: ...

background:  the glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. the most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...

results the results of this study showed high reliability and validity of smartphone in regarding ug with icc > 0.95. the highest reliability for both methods was in elbow supination and the lowest was in the elbow flexion (0.84). objectives the study was designed to compare the smartphone inclinometer-based app and ug in evaluation of rom of elbow. materials and methods the maximum rom of elbo...

Imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...

purpose this study was performed to introduce and evaluate the potential of kinematic magnetic resonance imaging (kmri) using a high-field open-magnet magnetic resonance (mr) system. methods we attempted to perform kmri of healthy volunteers’ lumbar spine and knee in the lateral position and ankle in the supine position utilizing the superconducting, horizontally opened, 1.2 t mr system (oasis,...

Proprioception is essential for joint function and through which individual can detect body parts movement in space. Aim of present study is to investigate effect of balance training on unstable platform with tilting, translation and combined motion on knee joint position sense in active young males. 39 healthy active male divided in to three training and control (n=9) groups. Training on unsta...
