Dynamic Margin of Stability During Walking Differs Between End-Stage Hip, Knee, and Ankle Arthritis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT End‐stage arthritis of the hip, knee, or ankle leads to differential gait adaptations, but the differences in gait stability remain poorly understood. This study examined whether dynamic gait stability differed between patients with end‐stage hip arthritis (HA), knee arthritis (KA) and ankle arthritis (AA), and matched healthy controls (HC ...

Analysis of the radiation parameters of pumice constituent compounds using XCOM
Abstract In this study, analysis of radiation parameters (linear attenuation coefficient, mean free path and half value layer) of pumice constituent compounds was carried out. Analyzes were done on the compounds of Al2O3, Fe2O3, SiO2, CaO, K2O and Na2O with a theoretical approach using the XCOM program for gamma photon energies 57Co (0 ...
