Trombosis de la arteria humeral secundaria a malformación de la primera costilla
2017
We present a case of a healthy 52-year-old man who came to our clinic because he suffered fatigue in the upper left limb during the past 4 months. Progressively he developed claudication with minimum efforts and nocturnal pain that awoke him, tingles, coldness and pallor in the whole hand. Cervical, shoulder, elbow, and wrist mobility and muscle power were normal. There was absence of left axillary, humeral, radial and ulnar pulses, with a left subclavian pulse present. Echo-Doppler and CT angiography revealed axillary and brachial artery thrombosis secondary to a narrow left intercostoscalenic space due to agenesis of the first ribs? anterior arch and synchorosis of the costal remnant with…
Desalineación severa de miembros inferiores en paciente con raquitismo hipofosfatémico. Tratamiento secuencial con osteotomías hasta la artroplastia …
2018
Total knee arthroplasty is the treatment of choice in patients with osteoarthritis. This intervention not only replaces the damaged joint surfaces, even it can correct misalignments of the axes of the femur and tibia. However, there are situations in which the misalignments are so severe, and also, affect not only the epiphysis, even the entire femur and / or tibia, which require corrective surgeries of such misalignments. We present a case of a patient with hypophosphatemic rickets with realignment osteotomies to achieve a mechanical normo-axis that prevents the failure of the arthroplasty.
Factors related to excessive patellofemoral loading in rearfoot running
2015
Running is recognized as one of the most popular exercise methods. Furthermore, running related injuries have been under the scope for the last few decades. Synchronous function between the segments of the lower limbs is necessary for efficient locomotion. Patellofemoral pain syndrome is a common exercise related syndrome and multifactorial in nature. The purpose of this study was to measure contact forces and frontal plane moments to detect the factors that are associated with atypically high patellofemoral joint loading in rearfoot striking (RFS) running pattern, and moreover, which could possibly contribute to development of the patellofemoral pain syndrome. 39 team sport female athletes…
Unstable shoe construction: influence on gait and posture
2011
Footwear, in one form or another, have been around for millennia. The advancements in the technology have made possible the transformation of animal skin and fur wrapped around feet by our ancestors into modern-day marvels of athletic shoes. Arguably one of the most pronounced innovations in the field of footwear design is the introduction of unstable shoe construction (USC), over the last few decades. Most widely investigated shoes are the Masai Barefoot Technology (MBT) shoes. Numerous scientific studies conducted on these shoes have revealed their effects on human gait and posture in healthy and morbid populations. peerReviewed
Neuromuscular function during knee exercises in water : with special reference to hydrodynamics and therapy
2002
The present series of studies examined neuromuscular function during knee exercise in water and training responses of an aquatic exercise program. Emphasis was placed on the quantification of water resistance, the drag. Subjects who participated in this series of studies were 25-35-year-old healthy women and men. Neuromuscular function was examined using electromyography (EMG), force and reflex sensitivity measurements in the isometric condition on land and in water. EMG and angular velocity were measured during dynamic knee extension-flexion in still and flowing water. The drag forces acting on the leg and foot model were measured in the barefoot condition and with a large resistance boot.
Regular Strength and Sprint Training Counteracts Bone Aging: a 10- year Follow-up in Male Masters Athletes
2021
According to cross-sectional and interventional studies, high-intensity strength and impact-type training provide a powerful osteogenic stimulus even in old age. Longitudinal evidence on the ability of high-intensity training to attenuate age-related bone deterioration is currently lacking, however. This follow-up study assessed the role of continued strength and sprint training on bone aging in 40- to 85-year-old male sprinters (n=69) with long-term training background. pQCT-derived bone structural, strength and densitometric parameters of the distal tibia (5% distal-proximal tibia length) and tibial midshaft (50% length) were assessed at baseline and after 10 years. The groups of well-tra…

Perioperative diaphragm point-of-care ultrasound as a prediction tool of postoperative respiratory failure in high-risk patients: A feasibility study…
2021
Abstract Introduction Respiratory muscle function in the postoperative period is a key to whether a patient develops Postoperative Respiratory Failure (PRF) or not. PRF occurs when the gas exchange does not meet metabolic needs. Ipsilateral paralysis of the hemidiaphragm after interscalenic brachial plexus block (ISB) causes an acute reduction of respiratory muscle function. This reduction does not cause PRF when the contralateral hemidiaphragm generates enough gas exchange to meet metabolic demands. Objectives To study the evolution of hemidiaphragmatic muscle function during the perioperative period with diaphragmatic ultrasound (D-POCUS), and use it as an innovative tool to predict PRF, …
Use of conservative therapy before and after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome
2021
Abstract Background Conservative therapies are typically offered to individuals who experience mild or intermittent symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or postoperatively to subjects who have undergone carpal tunnel release. Although long-term studies report mostly positive results for carpal tunnel release, knowledge on the need for conservative treatments following surgery is scarce. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to examine the use of conservative therapies before and after carpal tunnel releasing surgery. Methods Of 528 patients who underwent carpal tunnel release surgery in the study hospital during the study period, 259 provided sufficiently completed questionnair…
Reliability and Validity of The Finnish Version of The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire among Surgically Treated Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Patients
2019
Background and Aims: The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire is the most commonly used outcome measure in the assessment of carpal tunnel syndrome. The purpose of this study was to translate the original Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire into Finnish and validate its psychometric properties. Materials and Methods: We translated and culturally adapted the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire into Finnish. Subsequently, 193 patients completed the Finnish version of the Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, 6-Item CTS Symptoms Scale, and EuroQol 5 Dimensions 12 months after carpal tunnel release. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire was re-administered after a 2-week interval. We calculated cons…
