A comparison of Anterior Cruciate Ligament graft tunnel orientation: Anatomic vs. transtibial
30 January 2012
Michael S. Potter, Frederick W. Werner, Levi G. Sutton, Scott K. Schweizer
Abstract: Background: Recent Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction techniques have emphasized reproducing the insertion sites of the native Anterior Cruciate Ligament. Anatomic techniques have sho...

The biomechanical effects of a deepened articular cavity during dynamic motion of the wrist joint
30 January 2012
Stefanie Erhart, Werner Schmoelz, Rohit Arora, Martin Lutz
Abstract: Background: A deepened articular cavity of the distal radius due to a metaphyseal comminution zone is associated with early osteoarthritis and reduced joint motion. As this deformity has not...

Gait termination strategies differ between those with and without ankle instability
30 January 2012
Erik A. Wikstrom, Chris J. Hass
Abstract: Background: Chronic ankle instability is a common occurrence after an ankle sprain. Yet, some people (copers) possess a mechanism that limits recurrent injury and disability. During gait ter...

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...
