BACKGROUND Females have an increased incident rate of anterior cruciate ligament tears compared to males. Biomechanical strategies to decelerate the body in the vertical direction have been implicated as a contributing cause. This study determined if females would exhibit single leg landing strategies characterized by decreased amounts of hip, knee, and ankle flexion resulting in greater vertic...

The relationship between neuromuscular fatigue and locomotion has never been investigated in hemiparetic patients despite the fact that, in the clinical context, patients report to be more spastic or stiffer after walking a long distance or after a rehabilitation session. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of quadriceps muscle fatigue on the biomechanical gait parameters of patie...

Introduction/Purpose To determine the location of rectus femoris (RF) motor branch nerve, as well its coordinates with reference to anatomical and ultrasound landmarks. Methods Thirty chronic stroke patients stiff knee gait (SKG) RF hyperactivity were included. The nerve muscle was identified medially vertical line from anterior superior iliac spine midpoint margin patella (line AP) vertically ...

More than 90 000 people in the UK had knee replacements in 2012, according to the National Joint Registry of England and Wales (NJR). The human cost of this expensive surgery is addressed in two articles in The Lancet that question conclusions from the NJR, with major consequences for patient safety and the knee replacement industry. The indications for knee replacement remain poorly defi ned: ...

long time integration of large stiff systems of initial value problems, arising from chemical reactions, demands efficient methods with good accuracy and extensive absolute stability region. in this paper, we apply second derivative general linear methods to solve some stiff chemical problems such as chemical akzo nobel problem, hires problem and orego problem.

synovial hemangioma is a rare benign malformation of the synovium. it presents frequently in the knee with pain, tenderness, intermittent swelling and recurrent hemarthrosis. mri can be helpful in diagnosis of synovial hemangioma. in this paper, we present a 45-year-old lady with chronic symptoms and obscure clinical symptoms for 35 years which finally diagnosed and managed arthroscopically as ...
