چکیده
Background According to reports of the German Public Health Department, up to 80% of the children suffer on postural weakness. Most of them develop during the adolescent growth severe spine diseases like scoliosis. In case of slight postural deformity, patients are able to influence actively the posture of the spine by physiotherapy and training of stance and behaviour [1]. In advanced cases the patient cannot actively correct the stance and requires passive supportive measures [2], e.g. braces. Unfortunately the quality of braces and brace therapy results are varying very much due to not standardized procedures and different level of qualification of orthopaedic technicians.

EFFECT OF FUNCTIONAL KNEE BRACE MIGRATION ON THE KNEE JOINT MOMENT AND POWER PATTERNS DURING WALKING Jonathan Singer and Mario Lamontagne School of Human Kinetics and Laboratory for Research on Biomechanics of Hockey,
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the differences in joint moment and power patterns during walking with and without a functional knee brace and when the brace was deliberately misaligned with the knee axis of rotation. Five participants were asked to walk over a force platform with and without the brace as well as during a condition where the axis of rotation of the brace had ...

ABSTRACT:This paper applied UVM (Universal Verification Methodology), an advanced verification methodology which was based on SystemVerilog language to build AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) IP verification platform and environment. Functional verification of the AES module, through a large number of testcases and constrained random test could achieve 100% functional coverage. In addition, th...
متن کاملThe effect of different skin-ankle brace application pressures on quiet single-limb balance and electromyographic activation onset of lower limb muscles
BACKGROUND Several studies have been carried out in order to investigate the effect of ankle bracing on ankle joint function and performance. However, no study so far has examined the role of skin-brace interface pressure in neuromuscular control. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different skin-ankle brace interface pressures on quiet single limb balance and the electromyo...
متن کاملIn healthy subjects, the sitting position can be used to validate the postural effects induced by wearing a lumbar lordosis brace.
AIM OF THE STUDY To assess the validity of the sitting position when testing lumbar braces for the maintenance of lordosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twelve young adult subjects participated in the experiment, in which they were seated on force platform. The four experimental conditions (with or without a brace and with or without enforced lordosis) were chosen in order to distinguish between the ...
متن کاملAnalytical Modeling of IMS based Interworking in Heterogeneous Mobile Data Networks
Analytical evaluation of performance measures for vertical handoff management in an interworked Next Generation Mobile Network (NGMN) is presented in this paper. This analysis is based on a novel architecture for interworking previously proposed by authors. It enables the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology to interwork with Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) ...
