However, there is a need increased knowledge regarding: a) differences in peak pressure (PP) time integral (PTI) different types insoles; b) properties distribution used over period several months. We present...

Foot deformities, neuropathy, and dysfunction in the lower extremities are known risk factors that increase plantar peak pressure (PP) and, as a result, of developing foot ulcers patients with diabetes. However, knowledge about prevalence these is still limited. The aim present study was to describe observed diabetes without explore possible connections between high pressure.Patients diagnosed type 1 (n=27) or 2 (n=47) (mean age 60.0±15.0 years) were included this cross-sectional study....

Patient reported outcome measurement (PROMs) will not capture in detail the functional joint motion before and after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Therefore, methods more specifically aimed to analyse movements may be of interest. An analysis method that addresses these issues should readily accessible easy use especially if applied large groups patients, who you want study both a surgical intervention such as THA. Our aim was evaluate accuracy inertial units (IMU) by comparison with an...

Invasive methods are more reproducible and accurate than non-invasive ones when it comes to recording knee kinematics, but they usually less accessible safe, mainly due risk of infection. For this reason, with passive markers widely used. With these methods, varying marker sets based on a number single markers, or known as clusters, used track body segments. We compared one invasive method--radiostereometric analysis--with method, an optical tracking system 15 skin-mounted markers.9 subjects...

Diverse marker sets and validation techniques have previously been utilized, posing challenges in comparing studies when assessing soft tissue artefacts knee joint kinematics from motion analysis.

Bone-anchored attachment of amputation limb prostheses is increasingly becoming a clinically accepted alternative to conventional socket suspension. The direct transfer loads demands that the percutaneous implant system and residual bone withstand all forces moments transferred from prosthesis. This study presents load measurements recorded at bone-anchored in 20 individuals with unilateral transfemoral performing everyday ambulatory activities: level ground walking, stairs ascent/descent...

We simultaneously examined 14 patients with OTS and dynamic radiostereometric analysis (RSA) to evaluate the accuracy of both skin- a cluster-marker models. The mean differences between RSA system in hip flexion, abduction, rotation varied up 9.5° for skin-marker 11.3° models, respectively. Both models tended underestimate amount flexion but significant systematic difference marker evaluations could only be established recordings abduction using cluster markers (p = 0.04). intra-class...
