The versatile functionality of the human upper limb is owed to coordinated rotation scapula and humerus, a pattern called scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR). Various medical conditions can alter SHR, frequently leading limitations in activities daily living. However, date, supporting SHR practice often not feasible. We present textile orthosis that assists both stand-alone use combination with ANYexo,...

BACKGROUND Failure of the scapulohumeral rhythm (SHR) is observed in patients with shoulder joint dysfunction. The SHR reportedly has a 2:1 ratio during scapular upward rotation with arm elevation. However, three-dimensional scapular motion analysis has indicated variations in this ratio according to the arm elevation angle. We observed 2 distinct patterns: the scapular upward rotation decrease...

in this paper the effects of transmittance, dispersion angle and diffusion length on the quantum efficiency of solar cells (qesc) have been simulated and investigated. optical path technic is used for simulation. the results show that base thickness, diffusion length, dispersion angle, number of optical confinement path and transmission angles have an extremely effects on the qesc. simulation r...

OBJECTIVE To investigate therapeutic effects of balance acupuncture on scapulohumeral periarthritis (SP)and the mechanisms. METHODS Thirty male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into a blank group (group B), a model group (group M) and a balance acupuncture group (group BA) with 10 rabbits in each group. SP model was established by using persistent mechanical strain and ice compress. ...
