However, if the camera lens is within 15° of the perpendicular, then at 90° of true flexion, the perceived angle will not be greater than 95° in 94% of cases.doi:10.1016/j.artd.2021.11.012Gerard A.SheridanDepartment of Orthopaedics, Musgrave Park Hospital, Belfast, Ireland.Gráinne....
This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the long-term outcomes and survivorship of TKA using the LOSPA high-flexion knee system over a follow-up period of 10–12 years. The findings revealed a significant improvement in the ROM, with patients achieving an average of 128.2° at the ...
Subsequently, as the leg is moved in flexion, the examiner touches the screen again, representing the "terminal position." This terminal position signifies the final point of knee flexion in the movement and is measured while the hip maintains the same 90-degree angle of flexion. Western ...
A considerable overlap between the groups in the above mentioned parameter was seen (Figure 4), leading to the conclusion that this measurement is poor at discriminating between knee OA patients and controls. Kaufman et al. reported a non-significant difference in swing flexion ROM angle [2],...
The objective of this study was to compare patellar height and patella alta between a control cohort and patients with patellar tendinopathy by the sagittal patellar flexion angle (SPFA) measurement. Methods Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the knee were obtained from a sports imaging facil...
Early post-TKA, when the surgical wound is in the recovery phase, increased flexion angles can enhance tension around the incision, leading to restricted voluntary movement and a temporary decline in muscle strength. The focus of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy of the knee joint ...
Area under the curve during stance phase of hip adduction angle, variance of knee flexion angle, area under the curve of stance phase and mid-reference level of knee varus angle, and peak-to-RMS of ankle power showed most significant difference among the three groups. The RMSE for linear ...
Our results highlight the propensity of tight mid-flexion and loose flexion gap despite the adjustment of extension and flexion gaps in OUKA. Although the effect of such a minor gap imbalance is still unknown, the pattern was more prevalent in patients with smaller-sized femoral components. Use...
The quadriceps muscle functions eccentrically while running until the propulsion phase commences at the point where the knee reaches its maximum level of flexion. Therefore, “shortened” quadriceps muscle may play a role in the development of the OSD. Knee ROM and quadriceps flexibility have been ...
investigate other so-called “activities of daily living” (AODL), which are more demanding for the operated knee and other joints. Stair descent is considered to be a very demanding activity due to the high external knee flexion moment and hence producing high total knee joint loading[20,21]...
