Overweight children have a greater proportion of fat mass relative to muscle mass in the upper limbs than in the lower limbs: implications for bone strength at the distal forearm.

24 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: The influence of adiposity on upper-limb bone strength has rarely been studied in children, despite the high incidence of forearm fractures in this population. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to compare the influence of muscle and fat ... Read more...

No impaired hemoglobin oxygenation in forearm muscles of patients with chronic CRPS-1.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVES: Physiotherapy is considered an important treatment option in patients with upper limb complex regional pain syndrome type-1 (CRPS-1). In case of chronic CRPS-1, exercise therapy of the affected limb forms an important part of the ... Read more...

Corrective osteotomies and osteosynthesis for supination contracture of the forearm in children.

30 May 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to present the authors' experience with corrective osteotomies of the forearm for supination contracture in children. METHODS: Fourteen patients with supination contracture of the forearm due to brachial plexus ... Read more...
