Comparison of ankle-brachial index measured by an automated oscillometric apparatus with that by standard Doppler technique in vascular patients.

11 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the determination of ankle-brachial indices (ABIs) using a simple automated ankle pressure measurement device in comparison with the Doppler technique. DESIGN: ABI was measured in 61 patients (122 legs) admitted to the ... Read more...

Ankle peak systolic velocity: new parameter to predict nonhealing in diabetic foot lesions.

30 Aug 2009 The objective of this study was to determine whether ankle peak systolic velocity (APSV) can predict nonhealing in diabetic foot lesions. Diabetic patients referred for duplex scanning of the lower extremity arteries were included if they had foot ... Read more...

Ankle torque steadiness is related to muscle activation variability and coactivation in children with cerebral palsy.

30 Aug 2009 The aims of this study were to: (1) investigate the significance of muscle activation variability and coactivation for the ability to perform steady submaximal ankle torque (torque steadiness) in healthy children and those with cerebral palsy (CP), ... Read more...
