Mobility of the elastic counterpressure space suit glove.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the mobility of the current gas-pressurized glove of the extravehicular mobility unit (G-glove) and the elastic counterpressure glove (E-glove), we investigated range of motion (ROM) and indices of fatigue during grip ... Read more...

Association between interleukin 1 gene cluster polymorphisms and bilateral distal interphalangeal osteoarthritis.

12 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the association of the interleukin 1 gene (IL1) cluster polymorphisms and their haplotypes with bilateral distal interphalangeal joint osteoarthritis (DIP OA). METHODS: Radiographs of both hands of 295 dentists and 248 teachers ... Read more...

Alternative splinting approach for proximal interphalangeal joint flexion contractures: no-profile static-progressive splinting and cylinder splint combo.

29 Jun 2009 Proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPj) flexion contractures can be challenging contractures to resolve. Through the years, numerous splints have been designed to treat such contractures. However, despite the abundance of available splints, therapists ... Read more...
