Rectus femoris transfer surgery is a common treatment for stiff knee gait in children with cerebral palsy. Unfortunately, the improvement in knee motion after surgery is inconsistent. There is great interest in understanding the causes of stiff knee gait and determining predictors of improved knee motion after surgery. This study demonstrates that it is possible to predict whether or not a pati...

Rectus femoris transfer is frequently performed to treat stiff-knee gait in subjects with cerebral palsy. In this surgery, the distal tendon is released from the patella and re-attached to one of several sites, such as the sartorius or the iliotibial band. Surgical outcomes vary, and the mechanisms by which the surgery improves knee motion are unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify t...

The subject of the research was Underfloor Wheel Lathes de-signed to regenerate profiles running wheels and brake discs heavy rail vehicles without removing wheelsets. These machines can also be used wheel sets in trolleys dismantled from or themselves. machine tools operate a pass-through system. Two differing structure supporting sys-tem were tested: monolithic folding. Conclusions are based ...

BACKGROUND: Stiffness is a common problem after knee arthroplasty and need for further procedure. Patients who experience this usually have poor outcome. Flexion contracture the most reported case in reports; however, we rare of patient with extension total (TKA).
 CASE REPORT: A 62-year-old woman was presented 3-month history right TKA. After 3 month she came to hospital complained that c...

INTRODUCTION: Though the exact mechanism of non contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has not been fully clarified, several recent studies have suggested individuals who land with a stiff landing profile, defined as reduced knee flexion angles, may be at higher risk of ACL injury than individuals who land more soft [1,2]. The concepts and theories developed from these and other non-contact A...

OBJECTIVE To identify clinical and biomechanical parameters that influence swing-phase knee flexion and contribute to stiff-knee gait in individuals with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and flexed-knee gait. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of clinical data and gait kinematics collected from 2010 to 2013. SETTING Motion and gait analysis laboratory at a children's hospital. PARTICIPANTS Individu...
