BACKGROUND A triad of deformities-thoracolumbar scoliosis, pelvic obliquity, and femoral head (hip) subluxation/dislocation-occurs frequently in non-ambulatory neuromuscular patients, but their close inter-relationship is infrequently appreciated or quantified. We propose a deformity documentation approach to assess each component simultaneously. METHODS The documentation assesses each compon...

Hip-to-ankle radiographs have been used to evaluate lower limb alignment before and after total knee arthroplasty. However, earlier studies have inappropriately used correlation to assess the reproducibility of the radiographs. We determined the reliability of the hip-to-ankle radiograph using the Bland-Altman analysis. Two consecutive hip-to-ankle radiographs were obtained in 52 patients (52 k...

The experimental result of hypothesis test for hip roof model with = 3:0 is shown in gure 3,where the x axis represents the statistic used in the test and the y axis represents 10, where is the signicance level. Figure 3 shows the result of test mean and covari-ance simultaneously. sample density sample distribution null distribution function null density function Figure 3: Test mean and covari...

[Purpose] This study aimed to determine static balance according to hip joint angle of the unsupported leg during one-leg standing. [Subjects and Methods] Subjects included 45 healthy adult males and females in their 20s. During one-leg standing on the non-dominant leg, the position of the unsupported leg was classified according to hip joint angles of point angle was class. Static balance was ...

Resultant center-of-pressure (CP) displacements result along mediolateral (ML) and anteroposterior (AP) axes from strategies mobilizing hips and ankles, respectively, and thus, should be largely influenced by the angles between the feet. To assess this relation and the effects of foot position on postural performance, 9 healthy young adults were tested. The main results, as the forefeet are spr...
