The systematic review indicates that Displacement Control (DCSR) devices are effective in increasing ROM in the treatment of knee stiffness. Load Control (LC creep) devices are also effective, but this cannot be said with as much confidence as in all of the studies using LC creep devices, pat...

The DRT crew arrived a couple of days later and determined that they could save her walls. They chained those walls to a truck and pulled them forward to attach to new beams. They added new braces and ceiling joints. In the end, the DRT crew saved two-thirds of the original walls, cl...
No ACL rupture preventive efforts have been effective. Braces to protect the knee have never worked, despite brace manufacturers’ best efforts to market them as “protective gear.” The braces strap onto the large muscles of the thigh and calf in an attempt to limit ligament rupturing during ...
