Ankle Foot Orthoses (AFOs) to promote walking ability are a common treatment in patients with neurological or muscular diseases. However, guidelines on the prescription of AFOs are currently based on a low level of evidence regarding their efficacy. Recent studies aiming to demonstrate the efficacy of wearing an AFO in respect to walking ability are not always conclusive. In this paper it is ar...
Neuromuscular disorders and injuries such as cerebral palsy and stroke often result in foot-drop which can result in a person having great difficulty walking. Ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) or splints have been prescribed for many years now to limit the range of motion of the ankle, provide the patients with support and assist with rehabilitation. However the majority of AFOs require a long, labour...
An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is employed principally to treat musculoskeletal disorders of the ankle and/or subtalar joints although, occasionally, it may be prescribed to provide stance phase control of the knee. In order to function satisfactorily, an AFO must apply appropriate forces to the lower leg in a manner which does not cause local tissue damage or discomfort. Equally the leg will app...
The purpose of the present study was to develop an ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) that satisfies the requirements for an AFO for patients with hemiplegia as determined in a previous study. An oil damper has been introduced as an assistive device. The oil damper provides a resistive moment to plantar flexion of the ankle joint during initial stance on the paretic side. This function improves the insu...
Background China has high COPD rates, even among never-regular smokers. Little is known about nonrespiratory disease risks, especially vascular morbidity and mortality after developing airflow obstruction (AFO) in Chinese adults. Objective We aimed to investigate the prospective association of prevalent AFO with major vascular morbidity and mortality. Materials and methods In 2004-2008, a n...
مقدمه: بیماران ضایعه نخاعی قادر به انجام فعالیتهای مرتبط با راه رفتن همچون جدا شدن پا از زمین و انجام حرکات مچ نمی باشند. تحقیق حاضر با هدف بررسی تاثیر دو نوع ارتز متداول بر پارامترهای راه رفتن در این افراد انجام شده است. روش بررسی: در این تحقیق تعداد 5 بیمار با ضایعه ناکامل نخاعی با سن 68/8±28 سال، وزن 40/7±68 کیلوگرم و قد 07/0± 69/1 متر وارد مطالعه شده اند. در ابتدا برای هر یک از بیماران یک ...
BACKGROUND Despite the great burden of chronic respiratory diseases in China, few large multicentre, spirometry-based studies have examined its prevalence, rate of underdiagnosis regionally or the relevance of socioeconomic and lifestyle factors. METHODS We analysed data from 512 891 adults in the China Kadoorie Biobank, recruited from 10 diverse regions of China during 2004-2008. Air flow ob...

PURPOSE To integrate the available data published on ameloblastic fibrodentinoma (AFD) and ameloblastic fibro-odontoma (AFO) into a comprehensive analysis of its clinical and radiologic features. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search was undertaken in August 2016. Eligibility criteria included publications reporting cases of AFD or AFO with enough clinical, radiologic, and histologic inf...
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES In developing countries, spirometry has not been considered a part of routine medical check-up. The purpose of the study was to establish the usefulness of spirometry as a primary screening tool in detecting air flow obstruction (AFO) during routine medical check-up (RMC). METHODS This was a hospital based, retrospective, non-randomized case series study of 3696 particip...
