چکیده

A 53-year-old man presented with a 3-week history of a slowly expanding pruritic rash over the right hip. The patient underwent right total hip arthroplasty 10 months prior, complicated by a joint infection requiring 2 incision and drainage procedures and antibiotic bead placement. He was treated with 6 weeks of intravenous rocephin then was transitioned to oral amoxicillin. The area was bandaged for many months. Medical history was significant for tinea pedis with onychomycosis. Physical examination found a 10-cm annular, erythematous patch with fine scaling accentuated at the border (Fig 1). Results of potassium hydroxide preparation are shown (Fig 2).

Passive Controller Design for Swing Phase of a Single Axis Above-Knee Prosthesis

In this research we design a passive controller for an above knee prosthesis. The controller is a linear spring and damper for swing phase motion, parameters of which determined via optimization of adjustment of the prosthesis shank motion with a desired shank angle trajectory comes from experimental data. In this way, we exerted a certain thigh motion, hip movement included, into the system as...
