Wear-time recording during early Class III facemask treatment using TheraMon chip technology.
Successful intervention in a developing Class III malocclusion with facemask protraction therapy depends on a patient's ability to adhere to the recommendations for duration of appliance wear. In this article, we report the introduction of a novel approach for tracking of the duration of application of a protraction facemask, with the incorporation of a "FaceMon" sensor (TheraMon, microelectron...
متن کاملEarly orthopedic Class III treatment with a modified tandem appliance.
JCO/APRIL 2003 G patients with dentofacial deformities characterized by either a midfacial deficiency or true mandibular prognathism are perhaps the most challenging cases for the clinician to manage. In patients with midfacial deficiency, the current clinical protocol calls for orthopedic maxillary protraction by means of elastics to either an extraoral facemask or a chin cup.1,2 A maxillary e...
متن کاملAssessment of the conventional control algorithms and proposing a modified displacement feedback control for performance-based design of structures
An enhanced displacement feedback structural control procedure is presented for performance-based design in this paper. At first, a comparative study is implemented assessing three most common active control algorithms including state, acceleration, and displacement feedback controls. The advantage of the displacement feedback algorithm for active control of structures against earthquakes is de...

Introduction: Balance impairment and related injuries are common in elderly and patients with neurologic disorders. Ankle foot orthosies can influence on balance via improvement of movement disorders. Therefore the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of modified ankle-foot orthosis on balance performance in healthy elderly. Materials & Methods: The research was conducted on ten ...
متن کاملConsidering the Soil Effects on Design Process of Performance-Based Plastic Design for Reinforced Concrete Structures
In this research, Performance-Based Plastic Design (PBPD) method has been modified according to the proposed method for considering Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) effects. In the proposed modified method, based on the existing relationships and in order to maintain the simplicity of the PBPD design method, two important parameters have been modified in the PBPD design method. These two parame...
