A new ankle foot orthosis for running.

30 Aug 2009 Traumatic knee injuries in automobile accidents and sports often lead to damage of the peroneal nerve. A lack of control of muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve due to this damage, results in the inability to dorsiflex and evert the foot and to ... Read more...

Protective mechanisms of the common fibular nerve in and around the fibular tunnel: a new concept.

30 Aug 2009 The most frequent site at which the common fibular nerve is affected by compression, trauma, traction, masses, and surgery is within and around the fibular tunnel. The aim of this study was to determine whether there were protective mechanisms at ... Read more...

Comparison of nerve conduction studies with diabetic neuropathy symptom score and diabetic neuropathy examination score in type-2 diabetics for detection of sensorimotor polyneuropathy.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: To compare the nerve conduction studies in clinically undetectable and detectable sensorimotor polyneuropathy in type 2 diabetics. METHODS: Diagnosed diabetics (n = 60) were divided in two groups. Group 1 (n1 = 30) with clinically ... Read more...
