13. Rat hindlimb joint immobilization with acrylic resin orthoses
The objective of the present study was to propose an orthosis of light material that would be functional for the animal and that would maintain only the ankle joint immobilized. Male Wistar rats (3 to 4 months old, 250-300 g) were divided into 2 groups (N = 6): control and immobilized for 7 days. Rats were anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (40 mg/kg wei

14. A contribution of automation to active orthoses development for lower limbs / Uma contribuição da automação para o desenvolvimento de orteses ativas para membros inferiores
Neste trabalho foram desenvolvidas metodologias necessárias para a implementação de órteses ativas de membros inferiores, aplicáveis em servo-assistência de processos fisioterápicos de reabilitação. Para viabilizar e concretizar os objetivos propostos foram elaborados estudos anatômicos e cinesiológicos da locomoção humana, enfocando em especial

15. Investigação de sensores para uso no controle de locomoção de tetra/paraplegicos com estimulação eletrica neuromuscular
The rehabilitation of spinal cord injuried (SCl) subjects is based on Hybrid Systems (mechanical orthoses and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation - NMES)with Sensors for Automatic Gait Control (SCAG) external footswitches, patellar transducer. During the gait cycle the SCAGs detects the swing and the stance phases while a Central of Automatic Control(CAC)al

16. The role of weakness of triceps surae muscles in astasia without abasia.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of weakness of the bilateral triceps surae muscles-the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles-in astasia without abasia and whether compensating for muscle weakness with ankle-foot orthoses improves this disability. DESIGN: Case-control study of clinical findings and before and after trial of ankle-foot orthoses. SETTING: Clinics

17. Orthopedic management of spina bifida. Part I: hip, knee, and rotational deformities
Children with spina bifida develop a wide variety of congenital and acquired orthopedic deformities. Among these are hip deformities such as contracture, subluxation, or dislocation. Patients may also have problems with the knee joint, such as knee flexion or extension contracture, knee valgus deformity, or late knee instability and pain. In addition, rotati

18. Correction of Arthrogrypotic Clubfoot With a Modified Ponseti Technique
Surgical releases for arthrogrypotic clubfeet have high recurrence rates, require further surgery, and result in short, painful feet. We asked whether a modified Ponseti technique could achieve plantigrade, braceable feet. Ten patients (mean age, 16.2 months; range, 3–40 months), with 19 arthrogrypotic clubfeet, underwent an initial percutaneous Achilles t
