FOOT APPARATUS

Foot-and-mouth disease virus-induced RNA polymerase is associated with Golgi apparatus.

Electrophoretic analysis of the Golgi apparatus isolated by differential centrifugation from radiolabeled cells infected with foot-and-mouth disease virus showed about 10 protein bands. The virus-induced RNA polymerase was identified by immunoprecipitation and electron microscope staining procedures. Pulse-chase experiments indicated that the polymerase passed through the Golgi apparatus in les...

Golgi's apparatus

Golgi reported an " internal reticular apparatus " in neurons — a structure now known as the Golgi apparatus. Although this is by far his best-remembered work, Golgi made many other important scientific discoveries in his lifetime (1843–1926), and in 1906 shared the Nobel prize for Physiology or Medicine with Santiago Ramón y Cajal for their studies on the structure of the nervous system. As we...

Rocket Apparatus

Test apparatus for the measurement of the flexibility of ankle-foot orthoses in planes other than the loaded plane.

Previous publications have reported on the flexibility of ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) only in the same plane as the applied load. This paper reports on a test apparatus developed to detect the flexibility of an AFO in 5 degrees of freedom when subjected to a plantar/dorsiflexion moment, a medial/lateral moment or a torque. A moment applied to an AFO in one plane induces angulation and translation...

An indentation apparatus for evaluating discomfort and pain thresholds in conjunction with mechanical properties of foot tissue in vivo.

The mechanical properties of human foot tissue in vivo as well as discomfort and pain thresholds are important for various applications. In this study, an apparatus for measuring the discomfort and pain thresholds and the mechanical properties of human tissues is presented. The apparatus employs a stepper motor that controls the indentation speed, as well as a load cell and potentiometer that d...
