A new concept of dynamic orthosis for paraplegia: the weight bearing control (WBC) orthosis.
A new concept of device, termed the weight-bearing control (WBC) orthosis, has been designed with three major needs in mind; a rigid frame that supports the user's body weight, a special hip joint device that reciprocally propels each leg forward, a gas powered foot device that varies the sole thickness of the device for foot/floor clearance, and control system of the orthosis. A paraplegic (T7...
متن کاملUse of weight-bearing MRI for evaluating wheelchair cushions based on internal soft-tissue deformations under ischial tuberosities.
Deep tissue injury (DTI) is a severe type of pressure ulcer, in which damage initiates under intact skin, in soft tissues that are mechanically deformed by load-bearing bony prominences. Sitting-acquired DTI typically occurs in the gluteus muscles that could sustain deformations by the weight-bearing ischial tuberosities (ITs). No clinical method currently exists for measuring internal tissue d...
متن کاملEffect of ankle-foot orthosis on weight bearing of chronic stroke patients performing various functional standing tasks
[Purpose] This study examined how an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) influences the weight-bearing of chronic stroke patients during the performance of five functional standing tasks. [Subjects and Methods] Sixteen patients with stroke participated in this experiment. The subjects performed functional standing tasks with or without the AFO and weight bearing was measured during the tasks. [Results] P...
متن کاملEffects of weight bearing and non-weight bearing exercises on bone properties using calcaneal quantitative ultrasound.
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to investigate bone properties using heel quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in young adults participating in various sports. METHODS A cross sectional study was performed on Chinese male students (n = 55), aged 18-22 years. Subjects with previous fractures or suffering from any diseases known to affect bone metabolism or taking any medication with such an effect,...
متن کاملRelationship between balance and maximum strength in weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing closed kinetic chain exercises
Balance and strength are important abilities that athletes should have them. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between maximum leg press (non-weight bearing closed kinetic chain) and squat (weight bearing closed kinetic chain) strength with statistic and dynamic balance. Thirty (15 men and 15 women) physically active participants (age, 22.13 ± 1.54 years; height, 171.26 ± ...
