Arthroplasty for weight-bearing shoulders

Orthopaedics & Traumatology: Surgery & Research, 2022
Repeated transfers and wheelchair propulsion in patients with a neurological deficit of the lower limbs overloads the upper limbs mechanically, particularly the shoulders, which become weight-bearing. Under these conditions, arthroplasty implants are subjected to large stresses, even though this indication is controversial in such a context.

The Weight-Bearing Shoulder

Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2018
The shoulder achieves a wide spectrum of motion, and in a subset of patients, including those who use manual wheelchairs and upper extremity walking aids, the shoulder also serves as the primary weight-bearing joint. Because the weight-bearing shoulder is subject to considerable joint reaction forces and overuse, a broad spectrum of pathology can ...

Calf Stretching in Non-Weight Bearing Versus Weight Bearing

International Journal of Sports Medicine, 2010
Limited ankle dorsiflexion passive range of motion (DF PROM) has been associated with lower extremity overuse injuries. Therefore, clinicians often prescribe stretching exercises to increase ankle DF PROM. However, there is limited evidence to indicate if any particular gastrocnemius stretching exercise results in greater improvement in DF PROM.

OSTEOARTHRITIS IN WEIGHT-BEARING WRISTS?

Rheumatology, 1993
To test the suggestion [1] that turning the wrist into a weight-bearing joint by using a stick is likely to cause OA in that joint, 50 consecutive patients (excluding those with RA) who had used a stick for more than 1 year were studied clinically and radiographically. The data did not support this hypothesis.

WEIGHT BEARING IN PERTHES' DISEASE

Orthopedics, 1991
ABSTRACT Results of two different types of treatment for 82 varus-derotation femur osteotomies to cure Perthes' disease are presented. Patients were treated between 1974 and 1984. Postoperatively, in 30 cases weight bearing was allowed, while in 52 cases, non-weight bearing braces were applied.

Partial weight bearing of the tibia

Injury, 2016
Partial weight bearing is part of treatment schemes in orthopedic surgery and traumatology. The aim of the present study was to explore to what degree ground reaction forces during partial weight bearing of the lower leg are related to given instructions and to tibia deformation.Tibia deformation (torsion, medio-lateral and anterio-posterior bending ...

Complications of Unilateral Weight Bearing

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Equine Practice, 2008
The most common and significant complication of excessive unilateral weight bearing in adult horses is support limb laminitis. Young horses with unilateral lameness problems develop support limb laminitis infrequently compared with adult horses.

Role of the Fibula in Weight-bearing

Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 1984
To investigate the weight-bearing function of the fibula, weight-loading experiments were performed on autopsy specimens. With the ankle joint in neutral position, the weight distribution to the fibula amounted to 6.4%. With dorsiflexion of the ankle joint, the weight on the fibula increased.

Exercise prescription in pregnancy: Weight-bearing versus non-weight-bearing exercise

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1989
Bicycle ergometry (non-weight-bearing exercise) and treadmill (weight-bearing exercise) were compared to assess physiologic responses to similar work loads. A total of 22 subjects at 29.3 +/- 1.6 (+/- SEM) weeks' gestation who performed non-weight-bearing exercise were compared with 15 similarly fit subjects at 26.1 +/- 2.3 weeks' gestation who ...

The physiological cost of restricted weight bearing

Injury, 2008
To identify the energy cost of placing restrictions on weight bearing status.Measurement of the Physiological cost index (PCI) for 11 healthy volunteers carrying out three types of mobilisation over a 100 m course in a physiology laboratory: normal walking fully weight bearing (FWB); non-weight bearing (NWB) and feather touch weight bearing (FTWB).
