Despite concerted intraoperative attempts to establish equal limb alignment, leg length discrepancy (LLD) remains a frequent complication following elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) [1]. A number of effective intraoperative imaging and clinical limb length techniques have been recommended to minimize this complication; however, all of these assessment modalities have their reported limitati...

Some examples of the interplay between matrix theory, graph theory and n-dimensional Euclidean geometry are presented. In particular, qualitative properties of interior angles in simplices are completely characterized. For right simplices, a relationship between the tree of legs and the circumscribed Steiner ellipsoids is proved.

Balance disorders are a severe problem for the elderly. Exercise that can increase power of back muscles, leg muscles and dynamic balance is physical exercise in core stability (CSE). This study aimed to analyse exercise's effect on increasing muscle strength, Fifty-six elderly people aged 60-70 years were selected by simple random sampling as sample this study. The program was given CSE (n: 28...

the purpose of study was the comparison of hormonal responses to resistance training with and without blood flow restriction. 14 girl students took part in a crossover design study. the subjects in 3 successive weeks randomly assigned in 3 states: control (con), traditional strength training (tst) and strength training with blood flow restriction (str). exercise was included leg extension, leg ...

In this thesis, we investigate the question of how a legged robot can walk efficiently, and take advantage of its ability to alter its gait. This work targets the issue of increasing the efficiency of legged vehicles on different challenging terrains. We decompose the problem into three sub-problems: walking gait problem, physical adaptation problem, and terrain identification and gait adaptati...

This thesis builds on the observation that robots, like humans, do not have enough experience to handle all situations from the start. Therefore they need tools to cope with new situations, unknown scenes and unknown objects. In particular, this thesis addresses objects. How can a robot realize what objects are if it looks at a scene and has no knowledge about objects? How can it recover from s...
