The kinetic and kinematic stability measures in healthy adult subjects with and without flat foot.

Background: Flat foot problems are associated with impaired mobility and postural stability. The purpose of this study was to compare the kinematic and kinetic indices during one leg standing between subjects with and without flat foot.

Methods: Forty-four participants enrolled in the study, including 22 subjects with flat foot and 22 control subjects.

Gender differences in asymmetrical limb support patterns between subjects with and without recurrent low back pain.

New insight regarding limb-dominance effects on temporal-spatial gait parameters is needed to further investigate subjects with recurrent low back pain (LBP). Although an asymmetrical gait pattern was found to reflect natural functional differences, there is a lack of information regarding gender differences on dominant limb support patterns in subjects with LBP. The purpose of this study was to investigate temporal-spatial gait parameters based on limb dominance and gender between subjects with and without LBP.

In vivo ultrasound measurement of posterior femoral glide during hip joint mobilization in healthy college students.

Study Design: Descriptive study.

Objectives: To measure femoral translational glide in vivo during posterior hip joint mobilization and to interpret data in the context of the normal arthrokinematic glide necessary for hip flexion.

Background: Joint play, or translational glide available at a joint, is largely influenced by the geometry of the articular surfaces.

Treatment of fabella syndrome with manual therapy: a case report.

Study Design: Clinical case report.

Objectives: To educate clinicians about fabella syndrome as a possible cause for posterolateral knee pain and dysfunction. Also to describe a physical therapy intervention strategy for posterolateral knee pain secondary to hypomobility or malposition of a fabella.

Themistocles Gluck (1853-1942), pioneer in endoprosthetics.

There ist reported about the surgeon Prof. Themistocles Gluck, who first invented endoprostheses from ivory in 1890 at Berlin. So we believe, that he was the pioneer in endoprosthetics.
