Biomechanical effects of rockers on walking in a plaster cast.
Rockers are applied to lower limb casts to assist walking but there is little information on their biomechanical effects. The performances of 10 commercially available rockers were compared. They were applied to a below-knee cast worn by a normal subject who was also tested walking in the cast alone. Gait analysis was used to evaluate kinematic and kinetic data. The design of rocker had no effe...
متن کاملRemoval of a below knee plaster cast worn for 28 months: a case report
INTRODUCTION An unusual situation in which a below knee cast was removed after 28 months is reported. To the best of our knowledge no similar cases have been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION The cast was removed from the leg of a 45-year-old Caucasian woman. Significant muscle atrophy and dense skin scales were present but the underlying skin surface was relatively healthy with o...
متن کاملHexcelite versus plaster of Paris: a controlled trial of the below-knee walking cast.
Hexcelite and plaster of Paris below-knee walking casts were compared in a controlled clinical trial, involving 82 patients. Fewer bandage complications, problems and better comfort was found with Hexcelite compared to plaster of Paris (P less than 0.05). If all costs relating to materials, transportation, complications and extra visits due to these, were taken into account, plaster of Paris wa...
متن کاملAnxiety reaction in children during removal of their plaster cast with a saw.
We have had experience of an 18-month-old boy with a cardiomyopathy who died a few minutes after removal of his cast with a saw, apparently from a malignant cardiac arrhythmia triggered by anxiety. We therefore examined the anxiety reaction to this method of removal of a plaster cast in 20 healthy children; ten were provided with hearing protectors and ten were not. The level of anxiety was ass...
متن کاملGap index: a good predictor of failure of plaster cast in distal third radius fractures.
The aim of this study was to assess the usefulness of the cast index and an indigenously developed gap index as measures of poor moulding of plaster. Twenty cases of re-manipulation of distal third radius fractures in children excluding growth plate injuries were compared with a control of 80 patients. A significant difference (<0.001) was observed in the cast index and the gap index of both th...
