Objective: To evaluate whether preoperative range of motion is a key determinant of postoperative range of motion in Asian patients undergoing conventional total knee arthroplasty.
Methods: A retrospective review of 302 patients who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty performed by a single surgeon was conducted. Patients who had a fixed flexion deformity of ≥15° were excluded. Postoperative range of motion (ROM) was measured prospectively. Patients were stratified into two groups: preoperative ROM < 110° and preoperative ROM ≥ 110°. Postoperative ROM and mean change in ROM at 6 months and 2 years of follow-up were then compared using Student's t-test.
Results: Group of ROM < 110° had a poorer postoperative range of motion at both 6-months and 2-years of follow-up than Group of ROM ≥ 110° (P < 0.001). Postoperatively, Group of ROM < 110° had gained range of motion whereas Group of ROM ≥ 110° had lost range of motion (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Similar to the Western population, preoperative range of motion is a key determinant of postoperative range of motion in Asian patients. This should be taken into consideration by surgeons during preoperative planning and in managing patients' expectations.

Rotational Locking of Charged Microparticles in Quadrupole Ion Traps.
Phys Rev Lett

Electric quadrupole traps are a leading technology for suspending charged objects ranging in size from single protons to atomic and molecular ions, and even to nano- and micron-sized bodies. If the levitated objects' charge distribution contains multipoles, the time-dependent trapping fields can significantly impact its rotational motion. Here, we experimentally observe the transition from librational motion to a regime where a microparticle rotates in sync with the trap drive.

Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium.
Background: Increasing one's walking speed is an important goal in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Insufficient arm swing in people post-stroke might limit their ability to propel the body forward and increase walking speed.
Purpose: To investigate the speed-dependent changes (and their contributing factors) in the arm swing of persons post-stroke.
Extrinsic and intrinsic effects setting viscosity in complex fluids and life processes: the role of fundamental physical constants.

Understanding the values and origin of fundamental physical constants, one of the grandest challenges in modern science, has been discussed in particle physics, astronomy and cosmology. More recently, it was realized that fundamental constants have a biofriendly window set by life processes involving motion and flow. This window is related to intrinsic fluid properties such as energy and length scales in condensed matter set by fundamental constants.

Design: The study included 30 subjects in the intervention group, who received the MSC injection and 27 in the control group who received triamcinolone. Various outcome measures, including pain levels, range of motion (ROM), and MRI parameters, were evaluated before the intervention and at different time points after treatment.
Kinetics and Optimality of Influenza A Virus Locomotion.
Phys Rev Lett

Influenza A viruses (IAVs) must navigate through a dense extracellular mucus to infect airway epithelial cells. The mucous layer, composed of glycosylated biopolymers (mucins), presents sialic acid that binds to ligands on the viral envelope and can be irreversibly cleaved by viral enzymes. It was recently discovered that filamentous IAVs exhibit directed persistent motion along their long axis on sialic acid-coated surfaces.
