Background. The majority of fetal structural defects can be detected in the second trimester, thus this is the main time for screening for structural defects. 3D imaging of the fetal brain does not create a common part of this screening. Methods.

Clinical methods to quantify trunk mobility in an elite male surfing population [PDF]
Background: Thoracic mobility in the sagittal and horizontal planes are key requirements in the sport of surfing; however to date the normal values of these movements have not yet been quantified in a surfing population. Objectives: To develop a reliable

Effect of Lowest Instrumented Vertebra on Trunk Mobility in Patients With Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Undergoing a Posterior Spinal Fusion [PDF]
Study Design Prospective. Objectives The goal of this study was to evaluate the effect of posterior spinal fusion surgery terminating at different lowest instrumented vertebrae (LIV) on trunk mobility in individuals with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (

Two-dimensional finite element contact modelling is often conducted to simulate the contact mechanism in knee prosthesis. This is based on the assumption that the contact stresses are more sensitive to change in the coronal plane than in the sagittal ...

A geometric approach to three-dimensional hipped bipedal robotic walking [PDF]
This paper presents a control law that results in stable walking for a three-dimensional bipedal robot with a hip. To obtain this control law, we utilize techniques from geometric reduction, and specifically a variant of Routhian reduction termed ...

Anterior Closing Wedge Proximal Tibial Osteotomy for Slope Correction in Failed ACL Reconstructions
Increased sagittal plane posterior tibial slope has been identified as a risk factor for primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure. Although ACLR failure is multifactorial, correction of sagittal plane posterior tibial slope should

Non-structural misalignments of body posture in the sagittal plane
BackgroundThe physiological sagittal spinal curvature represents a typical feature of good body posture in the sagittal plane. The cervical and the lumbar spine are curved anteriorly (lordosis), while the thoracic segment is curved posteriorly (kyphosis).

Egocentric Reference Frame Bias In The Palmar Haptic Perception Of Surface Orientation [PDF]
The effect of egocentric reference frames on palmar haptic perception of orientation was investigated in vertically separated locations in a sagittal plane. Reference stimuli to be haptically matched were presented either haptically (to the contralateral

Fatigue Induced Changes in Muscle Strength and Gait Following Two Different Intensity, Energy Expenditure Matched Runs [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate changes in hip and knee strength, kinematics, and running variability following two energy expenditure matched training runs; a medium intensity continuous run (MICR) and a high intensity interval training session (HIIT). Methods:

Three-dimensional ankle moments and nonlinear summation of rat triceps surae muscles. [PDF]
The Achilles tendon and epimuscular connective tissues mechanically link the triceps surae muscles. These pathways may cause joint moments exerted by each muscle individually not to sum linearly, both in magnitude and direction.
