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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Patellofemoral Joint Stress During Weight-Bearing and Non—Weight-Bearing Quadriceps Exercises

Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, 2014
Study Design Single-group, repeated-measures design. Objective To compare patellofemoral joint (PFJ) stress among weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing quadriceps exercises. Background An important consideration when prescribing exercises to strengthen the quadriceps in persons with patellofemoral pain is to minimize PFJ loading.

Ultrasound Assessment of Weight‐Bearing and Non–Weight‐Bearing Meniscal Extrusion: A Reliability Study

PM&R, 2019
BackgroundUltrasound has become a useful instrument in evaluating musculoskeletal pathology. Recent studies suggest that ultrasound imaging of weight‐bearing menisci may enhance the assessment of knee pathology, such as osteoarthritis (OA) and meniscal injuries.ObjectiveThe primary aim of this study was to determine the intrarater and interrater ...
