[Subjects Methods] A three-dimensional quantitative gait evaluation performed without tape with, knee. Sixteen female college students (age, 19.7 ± 0.4 years; height, 1.64 3.4 cm; body...

Infantile tibia vara is an acquired form of tibial deformity associated with varus and internal torsion. Several methods have been described for orthotics treatment. The purpose this study was to determine the effectiveness treatment in infantile vara.Controlled trial.The aim compare effect different types orthoses correction on decreasing curve children severe genu varum.Three knee-ankle-foot were applied 35 lower extremities 22 pediatric participants who 19-38 months age. same orthotic...

Abstract Background Information on the foot structures of Central Anatolian children is limited. Foot aged 6–10 years were shown to be different according sex and increasing age. Objective This study aimed compare anthropometric values by age collect data reveal relationship between pes planus cavus in arches Methods Footprints 335 (180 boys 155 girls) taken pedigraph method evaluated using 18 parameters. The TFL (Truncated length), FL (foot Arch Index, Chippaux Smirak Staheli Arc rotation...

Introduction Gait analysis is one of the poorly understood dimensions functional results obtained after periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) due to dysplasia hip. Materials and methods Spatiotemporal parameters as well coronal sagittal plane kinematics moments were compared among three demographically similar groups subjects: (i) 23 patients with excellent according Harris Hip Score (HHS) (mean 6.6 years follow-up); (ii) 12 good fair HHS 9.3 (iii) 35 asymptomatic controls. Results 50% analysed...

People with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) often experience a decline in gait function and flexion. The children’s posture hip strategy, which leads to knee flexion, predisposes these children increased contact area the medial foot region. This study investigated use of DAFO (dynamic ankle-foot orthosis) prescribed patients determine plantar pressure distribution orthosis use. Eight CP (age 4–12 years) were classified as Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-II maximum...

This study aims to determine the effect of insoles with arch support on gait patterns in patients multiple sclerosis (MS) and somatosensory impairment.Ten (7 females, 3 males; mean age 34.9±6.8 years; range, 48 35 years) clinically definite relapsing remitting MS age- sex-matched 10 healthy volunteers 33.8±3.2; 40 31 were included between January 2011 2012. A medial longitudinal transverse supporting polyurethane insole covered foam shaped using plantar sensory feedback was used....

The aim of this study was to investigate the modification gait kinematics before and after orthotic treatment in patients with ITV. Vicon instrumented analysis performed on three ITV, pre post treatment. Orthoses were applied a total eighteen participants ITV who 25-38 months. 34 extremities treated radiographic evidence evaluated Treatment duration for ranged between 11 41 (25.9 ± 10.0) Only due application difficulties. Three kinematic kinetic found flatfoot, varus internal rotation foot,...

Infantile tibia vara (ITV) is an acquired form of tibial deformity associated with varus and internal torsion. As there currently insufficient data available on the effects orthotics gait parameters, this study aimed to document influence orthosis walking. A male infant bilateral used orthoses for five months. Gait evaluations were performed pre- posttreatment both legs. The kinematic parameters collected by using a motion analysis system. orthotic design principle was correct femur tibia....

Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs) improve the safety and functional capabilities of transfemoral amputees, but there is a lack information on plantar pressure distribution effects among individuals who have undergone amputation sound limb. (1) Background: The aim this study was to determine possible compensatory mechanisms in gait by evaluating intact extremity foot young MPK prosthesis users. Twenty-one patients with unilateral (TFA) twenty-four healthy were selected for...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the comparative final outcome two different conservative treatment protocols for trigger thumb using three types splints with varying restrictions interphalangeal (IP), metacarpophalangeal (MCP), and carpometacarpal (CMC) joint motions additional exercise programs. Materials Methods: Twenty-nine patients 43 thumbs were included in study. Participants divided into protocol groups used (1 daytime consistent both 2 nighttime) an program...

Lumbosacral orthoses are used commonly as a conservative treatment method in spondylolisthesis and stable spine compression fractures. Modified chairback orthosis, which developed by 4 forces on the basis of biomechanical principles, was applied with to 74 year old case who has fracture. Effect orthosis assesed comparing lumbosacral region range motion effect daily activities assessed rigid LSO. As result, modified allowed 2º-7º at reduced pain. Orthosis did not cause any difficulty...

Abstract: Today, millions of women wear high-heeled shoes daily, and although it has been suggested that the use (HH) leads to an increased incidence osteoarthritis, back pain, deterioration posture. The study aimed investigate kinetic kinematic analysis in lower extremities while walking on compared kinesiotape application knee joints with HH shoes. Methods: A three-dimensional quantitative gait evaluation was performed without tape shoes, kinesio taping knee. Twenty-four healthy females...

Purpose Pelvic asymmetry in the sagittal and horizontal planes among prosthesis users is related to strength of abdominal back muscles. Considering that lumbosacral pathologies pain long-term transfemoral can cause asymmetric pelvic motion, it necessary investigate caused by prosthetic components. The aim was compare gait symmetry pelvis active amputees using different types knee joints (Non-microprocessor-controlled prostheses (NMCPs) microprocessor-controlled (MCP) knees).Methods two...
