a parametrik investigation was conducted to study the non-linear behavior of precast and cast-in-place reinforced concrete beam-column connections subjected to tabas seismic forces (1979). the behavior of these types of connections in a four stories structure with respect to strength, ductility , stiffness, and bond deterioration at the joint core are presented and discussed. calculation result...

Background:  The glenohumeral joint becomes dislocated more than any other major joint because it maintains a wide range of motion and its stability is inherently weak. The most common complication following acute initial shoulder dislocation is recurrent dislocation or chronic instability. Imbalance of strength and range of motion in individuals with anterior dislocation can be a contributing ...

prosthetic joint infection (pji) is a calamitous complication with high morbidity and substantial cost. the reported incidence is low but it is probably underestimated due to the difficulty in diagnosis. pji has challenged the orthopaedic community for several years and despite all the advances in this field, it is still a real concern with immense impact on patients, and the healthcare system....

Joint replacement is currently on the rise with a high community burden. A registry was designed to evaluate the costs,possible complications, and rate of revisions as well as finding the most effective techniques, risk factors associatedwith poor results, indications for revision surgeries, and also demographic evaluation of patients undergoing jointreplacement surgery in Iran. Level of eviden...

objectives: to investigate the clinical efficacy of physiotherapy with and without superficial dry needling on patients with knee pain; patellofemoral pain syndrome. methods: a randomized clinical trial conducted in 2015, tehran, iran. of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome, thirty-four subjects were randomly divided into two groups (17 in each group). group a was subjected to physiother...

conclusions physicians should be aware of the signs and symptoms of different pain sources to prevent misdiagnosis and maltreatment. introduction fracture of the styloid process (sp) of the temporal bone is a rare traumatic injury in normal individuals who are not suffering from eagle’s syndrome. diagnosis and management of this problem requires comprehensive knowledge about its signs and sympt...

joint flexibility is a very important factor to consider in the controller design for robot manipulators if high performance is expected. most of the research works on control of flexible-joint robots in literature have ignored the actuator dynamics to avoid complexity in controller design. the problem of designing nonlinear controller for a class of single-link flexible-joint robot manipulator...

abstract   background: different methods of surgical treatment for acromioclavicular(ac) joint injury were considered in the literature. the purpose of the study was to compare intra- articular ac repair technique with the extra-articular coracoclavicular repair technique for the patients with rockwood type iii and vac joint injury when indicated.   methods: nineteen consecutive patients with r...
