Range of motion of the metacarpophalangeal joint in rheumatoid patients, with and without a flexible joint replacement prosthesis, compared with normal subjects
20 January 2012
L.E. Lester, J.W. Bevins, C. Hughes, A. Rai, H. Whalley, M. Arafa, D.E.T. Shepherd, D.W.L. Hukins
Abstract: Background: The metacarpophalangeal is commonly affected by rheumatoid arthritis. This may lead to joint replacement with a flexible prosthesis. The aims of this study were to determine the ...

Predictive equations for lumbar spine loads in load-dependent asymmetric one- and two-handed lifting activities
20 January 2012
N. Arjmand, A. Plamondon, A. Shirazi-Adl, M. Parnianpour, C. Larivière
Abstract: Background: Asymmetric lifting activities are associated with low back pain. Methods: A finite element biomechanical model is used to estimate spinal loads during one- and two-handed asymmet...

Gait patterns of asymmetric ankle osteoarthritis patients
19 January 2012
Corina Nüesch, Victor Valderrabano, Cora Huber, Vinzenz von Tscharner, Geert Pagenstert
Abstract: Background: In early stages, ankle osteoarthritis is often asymmetric with only partially degenerated joint surfaces. There is only limited knowledge on the effect of asymmetric ankle osteoa...

Alterations in in vivo knee joint kinematics following a femoral nerve branch block of the vastus medialis: Implications for patellofemoral pain syndrome
16 January 2012
Frances T. Sheehan, Bhushan S. Borotikar, Abrahm J. Behnam, Katharine E. Alter
Abstract: Background: A potential source of patellofemoral pain, one of the most common problems of the knee, is believed to be altered patellofemoral kinematics due to a force imbalance around the kn...
