Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) is a progressive disease resulting in distal sensory deficit and muscular weakness. As the progresses, most children develop cavovarus foot deformity. Foot orthoses (FO) are widely prescribed CMT to support improve gait, but there lack of guidelines for their conception. The aim this pilot study was report methodology used design FO (FOmax) based on an evaluation deformities assess its effects gait with CMT. Methods: This included 11 Participants were...
While the physiological determinants of road running have been widely studied, there is a lack research in trail-running racing performance. The aim our study was to determine predictors performance races different distances similar terrain and weather conditions.Seventy-five trail runners participating one Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc were recruited. Previous race, each runner evaluated with (1) an incremental treadmill test maximal oxygen uptake, ventilatory thresholds, cost running,...
Women have been shown to experience less neuromuscular fatigue than men in knee extensors (KE) and peripheral plantar flexors (PF) after ultratrail running, but it is unknown if these differences exist for shorter trail running races whether this may impact economy. The purpose of study was characterize sex fatigability over a range distances examine possible the postrace alteration cost (Cr).Eighteen pairs women were matched by performance completing different ranging from 40 171 km,...
The standard of care for early cervical cancer is radical hysterectomy; however, consideration pre-operative brachytherapy has been explored. We report our experience using plus Wertheim-type hysterectomy to treat stage cancer.This single-center study evaluated consecutive patients with histologically proven node-negative (International Federation Gynecology and Obstetrics 2009 IB1-IIB) that was treated hysterectomy. Pre-brachytherapy staging performed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pelvic...
The use of exoskeletons as an aid for people with musculoskeletal disorder is the subject to increasing interest in research community. These devices are expected meet specific needs users, such children cerebral palsy (CP) who considered a significant population pediatric rehabilitation. Although these should be designed ease movement physical shortcoming, their design generally based on data obtained from healthy adults, which leads oversized components that inadequate targeted users....
Fatigue has previously been investigated in trail running by comparing maximal isometric force before and after the race. Isometric contractions may not entirely reflect fatigue-induced changes, therefore dynamic evaluation is warranted. The aim of present study was to compare magnitude decrement versus power, force, velocity races ranging from 40 170 km.Nineteen runners completed shorter than 60 km, 21 longer 100 km. voluntary (IMVCs) knee extensors plantar flexors 7-second sprints on a...
Evaluate the relationship between different walking capacities and muscle strength in children with bilateral cerebral palsy (BCP) assess these relationships stronger weaker children.Thirty-two spastic BCP were included. All participants walked under three speed conditions: comfortable, fast, for a longer period (6 min). Walking speeds, Energy Expenditure Index (EEI), lower limb measured. A global index (GSI) was computed as sum of each group strength. Pearson's coefficient regression models...
Background and purpose: The strategies for walking fast have never been reported in children with cerebral palsy who walk crouch gait. This study aimed to assess what extent gait are able increase their speed report the corresponding three-dimensional kinematic adaptations.Methods: Eleven adolescents (aged between 7 17 years) bilateral palsy, gait, were asked at self-selected comfortable then as possible without running. spatio-temporal parameters, well center of mass displacements compared...
Abstract The etiology of changes in lower‐limb neuromuscular function, especially to the central nervous system, may be affected by exercise duration. Direct evidence is lacking as few studies have directly compared different race distances. This study aimed investigate deficits function following short versus long trail‐running races. Thirty‐two male trail runners completed one five races LONG (>100 km) or SHORT (<60 km). Pre‐ and post‐race, maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) torque...
Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate kinematic changes and muscle fatigue in jump gait during a walking exercise the relationship between strength. Design This preliminary included 10 children with cerebral palsy who walk gait. Hip knee maximal isometric strength were measured using dynamometer. Then, lower-limb kinematics electromyography collected while walked continuously for 6 min at their self-selected speed. Electromyography median frequency joint angles compared first sixth...

Patients with inborn errors of the alternative NF-κB pathway have low thymic AIRE expression, leading to development auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs, and severe viral diseases.
<h3>Introduction/Background</h3> Optimal management of localized cervical cancer is still controversial. The purpose this study to report our experience regarding early stage treated with preoperative brachytherapy (BT) and modified hysterectomy (HT). <h3>Methodology</h3> From 2000 2013, consecutive patients for by BT HT were enrolled. They underwent pelvic lymph node assessment lymphadenectomy prior BT. Pulse dose rate was performed either 2D or 3D technique technique. aimed deliver 60 Gray...
