The aim of the current investigation was to examine effects both lateral orthoses and toe-in/ toe-out foot progression angles on lower extremity joint loading during walking using a musculoskeletal simulation approach. examined 15 healthy males, in 6 different conditions (neutral, orthoses, toe-in, toe-out). Walking kinematics were collected an eight-camera motion capture system, kinetics via e...

A 38-year old female patient presented to the emergency department with pain after twisting her left foot. Findings at clinical examination included presence of a polydactyl foot with local tenderness and ecchymosis of the supernumerary toe. The additional toe is positioned on the dorsum of the foot between the fourth and fifth toe. The imaging workup included plain radiographs of the foot to e...

BACKGROUND Our aim was to summarize the treatment of degloving injury involving multiple fingers using combined abdominal superficial fascial flap, dorsalis pedis flap, dorsal toe flap, and toe-web flap. PATIENTS AND METHODS Each degloved finger was debrided under microscopic guidance and embedded in the superficial layer of the abdominal fascia. The abdominal skin was sutured to the skin on ...

We report the results of transfer of the long toe flexors and lengthening of the calcaneal tendon in 33 patients with equinovarus deformity requiring orthoses after a stroke. Review of 29 patients more than two years after surgery showed that 21 were able to walk without an orthosis. Equinovarus deformity had recurred in six patients and hammer toe in 11, but walking ability without bracing was...

BACKGROUND Developments in transducer technology have enabled the use of three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiography (3D TOE) in the operating theatre. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) 3D left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fraction (EF) agree better with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements, with less intra- and inter-observer variability compared with 2D. This has ...

Forensic gait analysis is the identification of individuals by their style and walking characteristics. This study aimed to examine prevalence patterns in healthy adolescents adults. Five hundred participants (mean age, 36.9 years) were enrolled divided into four age groups: 13-20, 21-35, 36-50, â?¥51 years. The was recorded a laboratory. specialists experienced selected several features. out-t...
