A polymorphism in a functional region of the COL5A1 gene: association with ultraendurance-running performance and joint range of motion.

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2014
PURPOSE Endurance-running performance and joint range of motion (ROM) are both multifactorial phenotypes. A single-nucleotide polymorphism, rs172722 (C/T), in the COL5A1 3'-untranslated region (UTR) was shown to independently associate with both ...

Shoulder Joint Range of Motion Related to Dementia

Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders
Introduction: Dementia is caused by various diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease dementia (ADD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). We often encounter patients with dementia who have limited shoulder joint range of motion (ROM), especially those with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). But the relationship between the diseases

A Fast Method for Finding Range of Motion in the Human Joints

2007 29th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2007
Finding the range of motion for the human joints is a popular method for diagnosing joint diseases. By current technology, it is more trustable and easier to find the range of motion by employing computer based models of the human tissues. In this paper we propose a novel method for finding range of motion for human joints without using any collision ...

Range of Motion and Orientation of the Lumbar Facet Joints In Vivo

Spine, 2009
Controlled laboratory study.To measure the range of motion of lumbar facet (zygapophyseal) joints in vivo during various functional weight-bearing positions of the upper body.Determination of normal in vivo motion of the lumbar facet joints remains elusive despite numerous in vitro studies, animal models, and finite element simulations.

Reliability of knee joint range of motion and circumference measurements after total knee arthroplasty: does tester experience matter?

Physiotherapy Research International, 2010
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Two of the most utilized outcome measures to assess knee joint range of motion (ROM) and intra-articular effusion are goniometry and circumference, respectively.

Hip joint modeling for the control of the joint center and the range of motions

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2003
Abstract This paper presents a medical visualization tool implementing a hip joint modeling method that offers the control of the hip joint center and the assessment of the hip range of motions. As the shape of the femoral head is not a perfect sphere, it is in fact close to a 3D conchoid shape, the resulting articulation center cannot be modeled as ...

Experimental Research for Motion Ranges of Knee Joints

2016
To investigate the range of motion (ROM) of knee joints in the human body, the difference of ROMs between man and woman in subgroups, and how the difference of ROMs relates to age itself; One hundred healthy volunteers of ages 18–60 were recruited to complete the study. They were divided into two groups, with half of them male. The VICON motion capture

Exercises with the StretchPole improve shoulder joint range of motion

Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies
The 'StretchPole' foam roller product is mainly used to loosen muscle groups and joints in the deeper layers of the body that are normally inaccessible to the human hand, and to realign the skeletal structure by lying on the pole and performing exercises.
