Orthopaedic issues in the musculoskeletal care of adults with cerebral palsy.

29 Sep 2009 AIMS: Orthopaedic care of adults with cerebral palsy (CP) has not been well documented in orthopaedic literature. This paper focuses on some of the common problems which present themselves when adults with CP seek orthopaedic intervention. In ... Read more...

Predicting SF-6D utility scores from the Oswestry disability index and numeric rating scales for back and leg pain.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional cohort. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to provide a model to allow estimation of utility from the Short Form (SF)-6D using data from the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), Back Pain Numeric Rating Scale (BPNRS), ... Read more...

Intraobserver reliability of static measures in the normally developing infant foot and clubfoot.

30 Aug 2009 Static measures data for infants are used in clinical practice and studies without published reliabilities. Intraobserver reliabilities for static measures were assessed in normally developing feet and clubfeet. Coefficient of repeatability was used ... Read more...
