This retrospective study evaluated patient shoulder function and general health at a minimum of two-years following massive rotator cuff reconstruction using the long head of the triceps brachii muscle. Fourteen patients completed the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand scale (DASH), the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), and Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36). Five ...

Five disruptions were in patients who had previously undergone an elbow replacement. The patients were assessed for subjective...

2 ABSTRACT This paper describes the initial testing and evaluation of one of the key components of the Testbed Real-time Integrated Control and Evaluation Prototype System (TRICEPS). TRICEPS is a software platform that facilitates the implementation and evaluation of a wide range of algorithms for traffic control and Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS). TRICEPS supports research a...
