Abstract The incidence of meniscal tears in the chronically anterior cruciate ligament‐deficient knee is increased, particularly medial menicus because it performs an important function limiting motion. We evaluated role meniscus stabilizing and hypothesized that resultant force significantly elevated knee. To test this hypothesis, we employed a robotic/universal force‐moment sensor testing system to determine increase human response tibial load following transection ligament. also measured...
Abstract Our objective was to examine the function of glenohumeral capsule and ligaments during application an anterior‐posterior load by directly measuring in situ force distribution these structures as well compliance joint. We hypothesized that interaction between different regions due its continuous nature results a complex throughout joint capsule. A robotic/universal force‐moment sensor testing system utilized determine intact shoulder specimens kinematics resulting from external loads...
The purpose of this study was to use an analytical approach determine the forces in glenohumeral ligaments during joint motion. Predictions from were validated by comparing them experimental data. Using a geometric model, lengths four determined anterior-posterior loading simulations and forward flexion-extension. corresponding force each structure subsequently calculated based on length data via load-elongation curves obtained experimentally. During anterior simulation at 0 deg abduction,...
Background: A 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV21) was recently authorized in Canada to protect adults against invasive disease (IPD). Objective: To assess the cost-effectiveness of PCV21 compared current Canadian vaccination recommendations for different age and risk groups. Methods: We used a static cohort model estimate lifetime incremental ratios (ICERs), 2023 dollars per quality-adjusted life year (QALY), discounted at 1.5%, population cohorts aged 33 (midpoint 18-49 group),...
ABSTRACT Background: With shifting epidemiology and changes in the vaccine funding landscape, resource use considerations for ongoing COVID-19 vaccination programs are increasingly important. We assessed cost-effectiveness of programs, where eligibility is defined by combinations age chronic medical conditions, including a strategy similar to current Canadian recommendations, from health system societal perspectives. Methods: used static, individual-based probabilistic model simulating...
Background: As COVID-19 becomes established as an endemic disease with widespread population immunity, there is uncertainty about the economic benefit of ongoing vaccination programs. We assessed cost-effectiveness a program similar to current Canadian recommendations, modelled annual for people aged less than 65 years chronic medical conditions and biannual adults older. Methods: Using static individual-based model medically attended in 1 million people, we estimated costs (in 2023...

We hypothesized that interaction between different regions due its continuous nature results a complex throughout joint capsule.
