The Distribution of Load across the Knee
نویسندگان
چکیده
An anteroposterior radiograph oftheleg to include the hip and ankle, taken with the patient standing, provides an estimate ofthe line ofload-bearing at the knee. Gait analysis may be used to determine the way in which the load in the knee is shared between the medial and lateral compartments during normal walking. A comparison ofthe results from the two methods, carried out on a group of47 patients, led to the conclusion that both calculations are required for the successful outcome of a tibial osteotomy or a total arthroplasty.

Static voltage stability is considered as one of the main issues for primary identification before voltage collapsing in distribution systems. Although, the optimum siting of distributed generation resources in distribution electricity network can play a significant role in voltage stability improving and losses reduction, the high penetration level of them can lead to reduction in the improvem...
متن کاملA Chick Embryo in-Vitro Model of Knee Morphogenesis
Background: In this feasibility study, a mechanically loaded in-vitro tissue culture model of joint morphogenesis using the isolated lower extremity of the 8 day old chick embryo was developed to assess the effects of mechanical loading on joint morphogenesis. Methods: The developed in-vitro system allows controlled flexion and extension of the chick embryonic knee with a range of motion of ...
متن کاملThe Effect of Shoe Design and Lateral Wedging on Knee Loading
INTRODUCTION The mechanical environment of the knee during walking can influence both the health and breakdown of the knee cartilage. With walking being the most common activity of daily living as well as producing a cyclically reproducible pattern of loading a close link to the maintenance of healthy knee cartilage is indicated.(1) Normally 60–80% of the total intrinsic compressive load transm...
متن کاملPredictive Power of Involvement Load Hypothesis and Technique Feature Analysis across L2 Vocabulary Learning Tasks
Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and Technique Feature Analysis (TFA) are two frameworks which operationalize depth of processing of a vocabulary learning task. However, there is dearth of research comparing the predictive power of the ILH and the TFA across second language (L2) vocabulary learning tasks. The present study, therefore, aimed to examine this issue across four vocabulary learning...
