Background: According to clinical observations, foot hyperpronation is very prevalent and may cause malalignment of the lower extremity, leading to structural and functional deficits in standing and walking. This study aimed at investigating the effect of foot hyperpronation on spine alignment in the standing position.   Methods: Thirty-five healthy males with an age range of 18-30 year...

In the standards about the contour dimension of automobile in most countries, the height difference of body symmetrical points or body inclination angle of automobile was specified. To improve the vehicle performance and operation safety, a measurement method of car body inclination angle was studied. According to the camera calibration and the distance between camera and automobile, the front ...

We show that the inclination to the line of sight of bipolar nebulae strongly affects some of their observed properties. We model these objects as having a spherically symmetric Planetary Nebula and a dusty equatorial density enhancement that produces extinction that varies with the viewing angle. Our sample of 29 nebulae taken from the literature shows a clear correlation between the inclinati...

Natural convective laminar flow is numerically investigated in a two-dimensional and square enclosure at various angles of inclination respect to horizontal. Two adjacent walls of the enclosure are insulated and the other two are kept at different temperatures. The influence of Rayleigh number representing the effects due to the differential heating of the enclosure walls as well as the effect ...

We report the detailed multi-scale and multi-directional geometric study of both evolving Lagrangian and instantaneous Eulerian structures in turbulent channel flow at low and moderate Reynolds numbers. The Lagrangian structures (material surfaces) are obtained by tracking the Lagrangian scalar field, and Eulerian structures are extracted from the swirling strength field at a time instant. The ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to identify possible dentoskeletal parameters associated with variation of anterior tooth inclination in Angle Class II subdivisions. METHODS Pre-treatment lateral radiographs of 144 Class II patients (68 males, 76 females) aged 9 to 17 years were classified for upper incisor inclination into three groups (proclined, normally inclined, retroclined) h...

BACKGROUND A variety of measurements can be used to assess radiographic osteoarthritic changes of the shoulder. This study aimed to analyze the correlation between the radiographic humeral-sided Samilson and Prieto classification system and 3 different radiographic classifications describing the changes of the glenoid in the coronal plane. METHODS The study material included standardized radi...

objectives: this study sought to assess the effects of length and inclination of implants on stress distribution in an implant and terminal abutment teeth in an implant assisted-removable partial denture (rpd) using three-dimensional (3d) finite element analysis (fea).   materials and methods: in this in vitro study, a 3d finite element model of a partially dentate mandible with a distal extens...
