Osteopoikilosis: a rare cause of bone pain
Background: Osteopoikilosis (OPK) is a rare inherited condition of the bones, transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait characterized by numerous hyperostotic areas that tend to localize in periarticular osseous regions. It is usually asymptomatic and is often diagnosed incidentally during x-rays made by other reasons. We present a case of 34-year-old man suffering from polyarthralgia an...
متن کاملAngiomatous malformation: a rare cause of recurrent swelling of the knee joint.
Angiomatous malformation of the muscle around the knee joint is an extremely uncommon cause of recurrent swelling of the joint. We report a case of a 13-year-old boy who presented with recurrent episodes of knee joint swelling. Though the history and physical examination was typical, magnetic resonance imaging clinched the diagnosis.
متن کاملQuantitative study of stiffness in the knee joint.
Data from a knee arthrograph, which imparts a passive sinusoidal motion to the joint and measures the resistive torque and displacement, have been shown to be reproducible. Tests carried out on joints (from 49 males, 21 females) showed that the energy loss per cycle of the joint increased with age for both sexes but the peak to peak torque (elastic stiffness) did not vary with age. Muscle bulk ...
متن کاملJoint stiffness of the ankle and the knee in running.
The spring-mass model is a valid fundament to understand global dynamics of fast legged locomotion under gravity. The underlying concept of elasticity, implying leg stiffness as a crucial parameter, is also found on lower motor control levels, i.e. in muscle-reflex and muscle-tendon systems. Therefore, it seems reasonable that global leg stiffness emerges from local elasticity established by ap...
متن کاملKnee Kinematics Estimation Using Multi-Body Optimisation Embedding a Knee Joint Stiffness Matrix: A Feasibility Study
The use of multi-body optimisation (MBO) to estimate joint kinematics from stereophotogrammetric data while compensating for soft tissue artefact is still open to debate. Presently used joint models embedded in MBO, such as mechanical linkages, constitute a considerable simplification of joint function, preventing a detailed understanding of it. The present study proposes a knee joint model whe...
