Safety and Efficacy of Microfocused Ultrasound in Tightening of Lax Elbow Skin.

Background: With the increased popularity of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments, this study evaluates the efficacy and safety of microfocused ultrasound with visualization (MFU-V) for tightening lax skin above the elbow.

Methods: Subjects were treated bilaterally above the elbows with MFU-V using transducers with different focal depths. Photographs were taken before treatment and at 90- and 180-day follow-ups.

Comparative abilities of Microsoft Kinect and Vicon 3D motion capture for gait analysis.

Biomechanical analysis is a powerful tool in the evaluation of movement dysfunction in orthopaedic and neurologic populations. Three-dimensional (3D) motion capture systems are widely used, accurate systems, but are costly and not available in many clinical settings. The Microsoft Kinect™ has the potential to be used as an alternative low-cost motion analysis tool.
