ISB recommendation on definitions of joint coordinate systems of various joints for the reporting of human joint motion-Part II: shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand

Human movement analysis using stereophotogrammetry. Part 1: theoretical background.

The mechanism underlying gender disparity in anterior cruciate ligament injury risk is likely multifactorial in nature. Several theories have been proposed to explain the mechanisms underlying the gender difference in anterior cruciate ligament injury rates. These theories include the intrinsic variables of anatomical, hormonal, neuromuscular, and biomechanical differences between genders and extrinsic variables. Identification of both extrinsic and intrinsic risk factors associated with the anterior cruciate ligament injury mechanism may provide direction for targeted prophylactic treatment to high-risk individuals.

Development and validation of a novel rating system for scoring standing foot posture: the Foot Posture Index.

The Xsens MVN motion capture suit is an easy-to- use, cost efficient system for full-body human motion capture MVN is based on unique, state-of-the-art miniature inertial sensors, biomechanical models and sensor fusion algorithms MVN does not need external cameras, emitters or markers It can thus be used outdoors as well as indoors, there are no restrictions for lighting, it does not suffer from problems of occlusion or missing markers In addition, unique for inertial motion capture technology: the sensor-suit captures any type of movement, including running, jumping, crawling and cartwheels

Femoral varus osteotomy in unilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes disease was reviewed at a mean of 18 years (10-27 years) after surgery. Forty-four patients (mean age 24.5 years) received a clinical and radiographic evaluation. The range of motion index revealed good and very good results in 84.1% of the patients. The age at surgery was a significant predictor of joint congruence and mature trochanteric position. The Catterall classification correlated with the mature leg-length difference. The extent of osteotomy and age at surgery showed significant influence on the mature femoral head diameter. Femoral varus osteotomy proved to be an adequate treatment. Satisfied patients and hips without osteoarthritis and with good function for a long period of time can be expected.
