Weight Discharge in Postoperative of Plateau Fracture Tibialis: Systematic Review of Literature [PDF]

Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia, 2020
Tibial plateau fractures are a risk to the functional integrity of the knee, affecting the axial alignment and capable of leading to pain and disability of the individual. Early weight bearing and joint mobilization can prevent these functional deficits.

Development of a Novel Extra-Articular Device for Reducing the Weight-Bearing of the Hip Joint

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2006
The morbidity associated with idiopathic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ION) is increasing. The primary goal of treatment for ION is to prevent collapse of the femoral head. With the exception of hip arthroplasties, current joint-preserving surgeries

Connectivity strategies to enhance the capacity of weight-bearing networks [PDF]

, 2003
The connectivity properties of a weight-bearing network are exploited to enhance it's capacity. We study a 2-d network of sites where the weight-bearing capacity of a given site depends on the capacities of the sites connected to it in the layers above ...

Augmenting forearm crutches with wireless sensors for lower limb rehabilitation [PDF]

, 2010
Forearm crutches are frequently used in the rehabilitation of an injury to the lower limb. The recovery rate is improved if the patient correctly applies a certain fraction of their body weight (specified by a clinician) through the axis of the crutch ...

A COMPARISON OF THE GLYCOSAMINOGLYCANS OF WEIGHT-BEARING AND NON-WEIGHT BEARING HUMAN DERMIS

Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1977
Twenty-six samples of human skin from three non-weight-bearing and 27 samples from three weight-bearing sites were obtained at autopsy from 11 subjects varying in age from 4 to 91 years. The dermis was idssected free of other tissues and after proteolytic digestion, the glycosaminoglycans were isolated quantitatively by ion-exchange chromatography ...

Osteoarthritis severely decreases the elasticity and hardness of knee joint cartilage: A nanoindentation study [PDF]

, 2019
The nanoindentation method was applied to determine the elastic modulus and hardness of knee articular cartilage. Cartilage samples from both high weight bearing (HWB) and low weight bearing (LWB) femoral condyles were collected from patients diagnosed ...

An exploratory study into the effects of a 20 minute crushed ice application on knee joint position sense during a small knee bend. [PDF]

, 2016
Objectives The effect of cryotherapy on joint positioning presents conflicting debates as to whether individuals are at an increased risk of injury when returning to play or activity immediately following cryotherapy application at the knee.

Secondary motions of the knee during weight bearing and non‐weight bearing activities [PDF]

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2004
AbstractThe objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that during a weight bearing activity such as walking, a dynamic range (envelope of motion) exists in the relationship between the secondary knee motions (anterior‐posterior (AP) translation, internalexternal (IE) rotation, and abduction‐adduction (Ab‐Adduction)) and knee flexion angle.
