چکیده
1 This article appeared originally in the September 1965 issue of the Orthopedic and Prosthetic Appliance Journal, having been prepared at the request of the Committee on Advances in Prosthetics and Orthotics of the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association. It is being republished in Artificial Limbs in the belief that the device and procedure described will be of interest to our readers. The research and development were conducted under the sponsorship of the Vocational Rehabilitation Administration of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. HANS R. LEHNEIS, C.P.O.

Suspension effect and dynamic evaluation of the total surface bearing (TSB) trans-tibial prosthesis: a comparison with the patellar tendon bearing (PTB) trans-tibial prosthesis.
X-ray and cineradiography measurements were used to compare the suspension effect and stability of a TSB trans-tibial prosthesis with an Icelandic Roll-On Silicone Socket (ICEROSS) system to that of a PTB trans-tibial prosthesis. The suspension effect was measured by the distance between the tibia and the socket in both suspension position and weight-bearing position in both type of prostheses....
متن کاملThe Therapeutic Effect of Tibia Counter Rotator With Toe-Out Gait Plate in the Treatment of Tibial Internal Torsion in Children
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the therapeutic effect of a Tibia Counter Rotator (TCR) with toe-out gait plate (GP) upon tibial internal torsion by a comparative analysis of transmalleolar angle (TMA) and gait analysis with GP alone. METHODS Twenty participants with tibial internal torsion were recruited for this study. Each 10 participants were included in group A with TCR and GP application and in g...
متن کاملThe effects of walking speed on minimum toe clearance and on the temporal relationship between minimum clearance and peak swing-foot velocity in unilateral trans-tibial amputees
BACKGROUND Minimum toe clearance is a critical gait event because it coincides with peak forward velocity of the swing foot, and thus, there is an increased risk of tripping and falling. Trans-tibial amputees have increased risk of tripping compared to able-bodied individuals. Assessment of toe clearance during gait is thus clinically relevant. In able-bodied gait, minimum toe clearance increas...
متن کاملComparison of Q Angle and Tibial Torsion Among Premier League Futsal Players With and Without Hamstring Tightness
Purpose: Hamstring muscle is a two-jointed muscle, which is attached to the pelvis at one end and to tibia at the other. Contractures of the hamstring muscles affect the position of proximal and distal joints. The present study aims to compare the value of quadriceps angle (‘Q angle’) and tibial torsion among Premier League Futsal players with and without hamstring tightness. ...
متن کاملA comparison of four in vivo methods of measuring tibial torsion.
Tibial torsion, twisting of the tibia about its longitudinal axis, varies during development and early childhood. Knowledge of the normal range of tibial torsion at various ages and its accurate clinical measurement is important in the assessment of the extent of a torsional deformity. To evaluate tibial torsion a reliable technique for its measurement in vivo is therefore required. The aim of ...
