Functional anteversion of the femur in healthy children and its measurement
(Wiley-Liss, Inc, 1993)In this paper, we introduce the concept of functional anteversion of the femur and its positional change. It emerged from studies using B-mode and real-time ultrasound to determine femoral anteversion in two knee positions. ... -
Comparison of four methods for measuring femoral anteversion
(Wiley, 1993)This study evaluates the most valid and reproducible method for directly measuring anteversion (torsion) in dried femora using a commercially available measuring machine. Each femur was placed horizontally on the surface ... -
The Nottingham system of back shape and body appraisal for idiopathic scoliosis
(1996)Our Research Report for 2000-2002 reflects an outstanding level of achievement throughout the institution and demonstrates once again our high level of commitment to strategic and applied research particularly in areas ... -
The role of ultrasound in the diagnosis and management of scoliosis
(W.B. Saunders Company, 1996) -
Torsion in lower limb bones of patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome
(IOS Press, 1997) -
Torsion in lower limb bones of healthy subjects
(IOS Press, 1997)Flashlight Online is part of the American Association forHigher Education, Teaching Learning and Technology Group's(TLTG) Flashlight Program (http://www.tltgroup.org/programs/flashlight.html). The core of Flashlight Online ... -
Segmental rotation of vertebrae and ribs in scoliosis evaluated by a new real-time ultrasound method.
(1999)The importance of human resources management (HRM) to the success or failure of health systemperformance has, until recently, been generally overlooked. In recent years it has been increasinglyrecognised that getting HR ... -
Spine-rib rotation differences at the apex in preoperative patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: evaluation of a three-level ultrasound method.
(IOS, 2002)This paper evaluates a new real-time ultrasound method to assess the difference between axial spinal (laminal) rotation and rib rotation at the apex of the scoliosis curve. An Aloka SSD 500 portable ultrasound machine with ... -
Anterior universal spine system for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a follow-up study using scoliometer, real-time ultrasound and radiographs.
(IOS, 2002)Nine patients with AIS treated surgically with anterior USS instrumentation were examined by several methods pre-operatively and at each of 8 weeks, 1 year and 2 years after surgery (mean age 14.6 years, girls 7, boys 2, ... -
Preliminary study of a new real-time ultrasound method for measuring spinal and rib rotation in preoperative patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
(IOS Press, 2002)A portable ultrasound machine with a linear array transducer was used by one observer (ASK) to evaluate the reproducibility for each of spinal (laminal) rotation and rib rotation in 13 preoperative patients with AIS (thoracic ... -
Back shape assessment in each of three positions in preoperative patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: evaluation of a 10-level Scoliometer method interpolated to 18-levels.
(IOS Press, 2002)A Scoliometer was used by one observer (RKP) to assess the reproducibility of angle of trunk inclinations (ATIs) in 13 preoperative patients with AIS (thoracic 7, thoracolumbar 6, mean Cobb angle 50 degrees, right 9, age ... -
Ultrasound Measurement of Femoral Anteversion and Tibial Torsion
(Scottish ExecutiveQueen Margaret University, 2002)This project aimed to establish a method of measuring femoral anteversion and tibial torsion using real time ultrasound images and a new system of electronic inclinometry. The inclinometry system was carefully calibrated ... -
The early detection of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in three positions using the scoliometer and real time ultrasound: should the prone position also be used?
(ISO Press, 2002)The standing forward bending position is in general use for the early detection of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. It also reveals humps caused by leg-length inequality and for this reason some workers have advocated using ...
