THE SHORT CALIPER SPLINT

The Walking Caliper Splint and Its Uses

that no mobility at the site of fracture remains, the new hone is not at first strong enough to bear the weight of the body. If it is subjected to this it may break or more frequently it may bend. It is necessary at first to support it and to relieve it of weight-bearing. This can be done by the simple method of carrying the weight through a ring, which fits closely around the top of the thigh,...

On-the-Fly Tree Caliper Measurement

In fruit and shade tree nurseries, there is a need to count and measure caliper for trees frequently so as to have an accurate inventory sufficiently before harvest since disease, pests and climate can change the yield from year to year. In some tree nurseries it is common practice to count the entire stock three times a year and to caliper them once a year. Both tasks are very labor intensive,...

The Effect of Distal Location of the Volar Short Arm Splint on the Metacarpophalangeal Joint Motion

BACKGROUND The goals of this study were to compare maximal metacarpophalangeal joint (MCPJ) flexion angles after application of a volar short arm splint at 3 different locations and verify the relations between the three different physical and radiological locations. METHODS Forty dominant hands of healthy subjects were analyzed in the study. We defined a transverse skin folding line as a lin...

HP Caliper : A Framework for Performance Analysis

You perform statistical sampling by taking periodic snapshots of a program’s state. Statistical sampling is nonintrusive—unlike binary instrumentation, statistical sampling doesn’t add any lines of code to the application being tested—but the computing community generally regards this technique as imprecise. It imposes low overhead on a program’s runtime performance and can be used for time-cri...
