Should all elective knee radiographs requested by general practitioners be performed weight-bearing?
The aims of this study were to: [1] Assess the number of patients with suspected knee osteoarthritis that underwent repeat weight-bearing(WB) knee radiographs in the orthopaedic clinic following initial non-WB radiograph requested by their general practitioner (GP). [2] Confirm whether repeating WB knee views changed radiology reports. [3] Determine the number of London trusts with protocols fo...
متن کاملSex differences in coupled knee motions during the transition from non-weight bearing to weight bearing.
Knee ligament injuries frequently happen when the joint transitions from non-weight bearing (NWB) to weight bearing (WB). To gain insight into the mechanism that produces these injuries, physically active females (N = 41) and males (N = 39) underwent measurement of coupled tibiofemoral joint displacements [anterior tibial translation (ATT) and varus-valgus and internal-external rotations] and n...
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 ± ...
متن کاملSherrington et al: A randomised trial of weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing exercise after hip fracture A randomised trial of weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing exercise for improving physical ability in inpatients after hip fracture
Hip fractures are an important public health issue. By the age of 90, 32% of women and 17% of men have suffered a hip fracture (Gallagher et al 1980). By the year 2050 there will be about 2.3 million annual hip fractures globally (Gullberg et al 1997). Unfortunately, outcomes after hip fracture are often poor (Marottoli et al 1992). If more effective rehabilitation strategies could be developed...
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,...
