Prospective Evaluation of Leprosy Patients Wearing Insole
The use of custom-made insoles has shown to be effective for the treatment of high plantar pressure peak of patients with neuropathic feet. Objective: To observe the results of the usage of metatarsal plantar support type of insole in leprosy, through tests in gait and static posture with a baropodometric device. Ten patients with leprosy were randomly selected, ageing 25 to 60 years at the lep...

A prospective clinical evaluation of mandibular lingual retainer survival.
Bonded retainers are considered reliable, independent of patient co-operation, and highly efficient. However, most studies regarding the survival of retainers are retrospective. The aims of this investigation were to prospectively evaluate the failure rate of bonded lingual retainers, the influence of direct or indirect bonding procedures on survival, and to determine the distribution of failur...
متن کاملA feasible method to improve adherence of Hawley retainer in adolescent orthodontic patients: a randomized controlled trial.
BACKGROUND Retention is an important component of orthodontic treatment; however, poor compliance with retainer use is often encountered, especially in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to prove the hypothesis that verbal instructions combined with images showing the severe consequences of poor compliance can increase retainer use. METHODS This study was a randomized controlled trial...
متن کاملAuditory distortion measure for speech coder evaluation - Hidden Markovian approach
This article introduces a methodology for quantifying the distortion introduced by a low or medium bit-rate speech coder. Since the perceptual acuity of a human being determines the precision with which speech data must be processed, the speech signal is transformed onto a perceptual-domain (PD). This is done using Lyon's cochlear (auditory) model whose output provides the probability-of-firing...
