Achieving a neutral static Hip-Knee-Ankle angle (sHKA) measured on radiographs has been considered a factor of success for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, recent studies have shown that sHKA seems to have no effect on TKA survivorship. sHKA is not representative of the dynamic ...
Arithmetic hip-knee-ankle angleSoft-tissue balanceInsert thicknessThe amount of change in coronal alignment by unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is important when considering its long-term results. This study investigated whether the amount of change in mechanical hip-knee-ankle (mHKA) angle ...
Significant inherent extra-articular varus angulation is associated with abnormal postoperative hip–knee–ankle (HKA) angle. At present, HKA is manually measured by orthopedic surgeons and it increases the doctors’ workload. To automatically determine HKA, a deep learning-based automated method for ...
Through our examination of the shank angle (tibial inclination) in an AFO, we have found that different PLS brace designs function similarly in midstance. For example, if the shank is inclined too far forward (anterior), crouch persists. Similar knee flexion angles can be seen whether the pat...
Instead of the traditional mechanical hip–knee–ankle axis (mHKA), the team utilized an arithmetic method to obtain the arithmetic hip–knee–ankle axis (aHKA = MPTA − LDFA), which ignores the joint line convergence angle (JLCA) of approximately 0.5° [6]. The aHKA has been reported...
The 3D angles of hip, knee, and ankle along with their time of occurrence (the time reaching to the maximum values for each specific joint angle) were analyzed using repeated measures multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) by SPSS 17. P<0.05 was considered significant. Results: Knee and ...
5. Hip joint, knee joint, limited position adjustment, can be fixed in different positions. You can adjust the angle of adduction, abduction, flexion and extension of the medullary joint according to the needs of the patients. Specification: ...
Therapist palpates inferior angle of scapula and monitor its movement throughout the test With the therapist’s other hand, holding just above patient’s elbow, slowly abduct the patient’s humerus Therapist takes note of when the inferior angle of the scapula starts to move ...
The normal Q angle for females is approximately ___ 15-20 degrees What muscle/action is involved in the movement of the knee joints in the power (push) phase of a standing vertical jump? Concentric contraction of the quadriceps The ACL is the primary restraint for? Anterior translation...
Which of the following conditions may cause an increase in a patient's Q angle? Genu valgum In the context of jumper's knee, when chronic inflammation develops in the patellar tendon at the superior patellar pole, it is usually referred to as ...
