Gait Analysis in Patients After Hemiepiphysiodesis Due to Valgus or Varus Knee Deformity.

Developmental knee joint deformities are a common problem in pediatric orthopedics. Children with a valgus or varus deformity of the distal femur or the proximal tibia are commonly treated with hemiepiphysiodesis. Gait analysis in patients with lower limb deformities plays an important role in clinical practice.

Gait assessment in patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures after treatment with the Ilizarov method.

Background: Intra-articular and comminuted fractures of the calcaneus constitute a significant orthopedic challenge. Calcaneal fracture management should primarily aim to achieve good clinical and biomechanical outcomes, pain reduction, and normal function following treatment.

Research Question: How does Ilizarov treatment of calcaneal fractures affect gait parameters?

Methods: This retrospective study included 21patients (7 women, 14 men) who were treated for intra-articular calcaneal fractures with the Ilizarov method in the period 2021-2022.

Clinical and radiological assessment of the Polish modification of the Ilizarov external fixator for the treatment of intra-articular calcaneal fractures.

Background: There is currently no established gold standard for the treatment of calcaneal fractures.

Objectives: To conduct a clinical and radiological evaluation of patients following intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated with the Polish modification of the Ilizarov method.

Material And Methods: This was a 2-center retrospective study.

Assessment of Function in Patients after Calcaneal Fracture Treatment with the Ilizarov Method.

Up to 75% of calcaneal fractures are intra-articular fractures, which may severely impair foot function and lead to disability. We retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures who had been treated with the Ilizarov method in the period 2021-2022. The mean patient age was 47 years (range 25-67 years).

A Review of Patient Bed Sensors for Monitoring of Vital Signs.

The analysis of biomedical signals is a very challenging task. This review paper is focused on the presentation of various methods where biomedical data, in particular vital signs, could be monitored using sensors mounted to beds. The presented methods to monitor vital signs include those combined with optical fibers, camera systems, pressure sensors, or other sensors, which may provide more efficient patient bed monitoring results.
