recent studies show significant reduction of postural stability in transtibial amputees (ttas) especially when a perturbation is applied. however, no record has been seen on the consequences of such perturbation on the stump-socket interface pressure (ssip). our objective was to investigate whether such perturbation impose excessive pressures on the stump. we were also interested on the type of...

Brain tissue swelling is a dangerous consequence of traumatic injury and is associated with raised intracranial pressure and restricted blood flow. We consider the mechanical effects that drive swelling of brain tissue slices in an ionic solution bath, motivated by recent experimental results that showed that the volume change of tissue slices depends on the ionic concentration of the bathing s...

RATIONALE Anatomical characteristics, such as subcutaneous position and minimal muscle cover, contribute to the complexity of fractures of the distal third of the tibia and fibula. Severe damage to soft tissue and instability ensure high risk of delayed bone union and wound complications such as nonunion, infection, and necrosis. PATIENT CONCERNS This case report discusses management in a 54-...
