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 th...

Abstract We define isoclinism of skew braces and present several applications. study some properties that are invariant under isoclinism. For example, we prove right nilpotency is an invariant. This result has application in the theory set‐theoretic solutions to Yang–Baxter equation. isoclinic multipermutation

Background Measurement of thoracic deformities is difficult and therefore little information is available about the effectiveness of conservative treatment. While from a specialized center in Brasil positive case reports have been released for the treatment of all kinds of genuine thoracic deformities with the help of braces [1], the German health insurances in part do reject the costs of such ...

the most conventional method for lateral bracing of steel frames is using diagonal and x steel braces. in conventional method, braces of frame emplace in one bay or more, relative to structural requirement, from first to last story without displace the braces emplacement on height as columnar form. this pattern is a preliminary and simplest bracing template that the generally codes present base...

The high-density epicardial mapping plaque used in this study provides coverage of 10% of the atria and hence has a narrow field of view relative to the global bi-atrial surface area. Thus from a segment of atria mapped, we could only determine whether a rota-tional circuits or a focal source is present and not whether it was critical in driving wavefronts elsewhere in the atria. It is possible...

INTRODUCTION Valgus knee braces are effective at decreasing pain and improving function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) [1]. The braces are designed to decrease loading in the medial knee compartment but previous studies are unclear if this truly occurs. Alternatively, changes in the neuromuscular system might account for the benefits of bracing. An earlier study with a small sample d...

The equivalent force control (EFC) method replaces numerical iteration with a feedback control strategy to solve the nonlinear equations of motion in pseudodynamic and real-time substructure tests (RST) using an implicit integration method. The EFC method and its further development with an energy conserving integration method are presented in this paper. The effectiveness and accuracy of the E...
