Background Ankle and hindfoot malalignment is a common finding in patients suffering from post-traumatic ankle osteoarthritis. However, no studies have addressed the effect of concomitant foot deformities on intrinsic kinematics kinetics. Therefore, objective this study was to investigate kinetics multiple joints complex Methods Twenty-nine subjects with osteoarthritis participated study. Stand...

Case 1-A girl aged seventeen, a pastry cook, presented with a history of constant swelling of the right foot and lower leg since birth. The swelling had increased considerably during the previous six months, during which time there had been pain and discomfort in the foot and leg. The left foot sometimes became swollen in the evenings, especially after exercise. The patient was born with idiopa...

Five members of a kindred with brachydactyly and distal symphalangism, normal stature, pes cavus, and scoliosis were ascertained. The pedigree was consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance. The combination of clinical and radiological features is believed to be distinct from those previously reported in patients with brachydactyly/symphalangism.

Background The aim of this study was to investigate the role of foot morphology with respect to diabetes and peripheral neuropathy in altering foot kinematics, kinetics and plantar pressure (PP) during gait. Materials and methods Simultaneous 3-dimensional multisegment foot kinematics [1], kinetics and PP [2] of healthy and diabetic subjects with different type of foot were determined. 120 feet...

The hereditary " ataxias " comprise a group of well recognized degenerative disorders of the central nervous system wherein the neurological syndromes are largely determined by genetic transmission. Clinical evidence of involvement of the pyramidal tracts is often present, as for example in Friedreich's ataxia, but from a study of the literature it would seem that degeneration ofthe pryamidal t...

We describe and interpret the geometry surficial characteristics of an oblong 98 km depression named Hekla Cavus in (informally named) Cthulhu Macula, Pluto. The feature is located near equator west Sputnik Planitia at New Horizons Close Encounter Hemisphere. Images from Long Range Reconnaissance Imager along with digital elevation maps reveal that within a larger ridge-trough system, bounded b...
