The CLIPS Protocol: Cast re-aLignment In Paediatric patients using Stationery.

Paediatric tibial shaft fractures are commonly treated nonoperatively and followed-up in the clinic setting. Loss of position has traditionally been managed with wedging of the cast or admission and manipulation in the operaing theatre. The authors present a technique to aid in the wedging of plasters for paediatric tibia and forearm fractures that reduces time requirement, hospital costs and emotional distress on the part of the patient and family.

"Intersection syndrome" of the foot: treated by endoscopic release of master knot of Henry.

Intersection syndrome of the forearm is a painful condition in the area where the muscle bellies of the abductor pollicis longus and extensor pollicis brevis cross the common wrist extensors. A similar case of the foot with marked fibrosis at the interconnection of flexor hallucis longus and flexor digitorum tendons is reported and the fibrous interconnection was extended proximally. This was successfully treated with endoscopic release of the master knot of Henry.

[Rehabilitation of extensor tendon injuries].

The extensor mechanism of the hand consists of different tendons, originating from extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the hand and forearm. Because of their course near to skin and bone separated only by a thin layer of paratenon, they are very sensitive to injuries and adhesions. Treatment protocols have to be adapted according to the different zones. This paper explains the basic principles of rehabilitation in extensor tendon injuries.

Bullous pemphigoid possibly induced by psoralen plus ultraviolet A therapy.

An elderly white man with a long history of psoriasis, previously treated with topical steroids and ultraviolet B (UVB), developed bullous pemphigoid shortly after starting psoralen plus UVA (PUVA) therapy. The eruption spread from the forearms to the arms and neck after phototherapy was discontinued. The clinical features of the 12 reported cases of PUVA-induced bullous pemphigoid are reviewed.

Poland-Möbius syndrome associated with dextrocardia.

A newborn male with Möbius syndrome, Poland anomaly, and dextrocardia is described. This is the second case reported of Poland-Möbius syndrome associated with dextrocardia. The patient presented with strabismus, facial diplegia, difficulty in swallowing, hypoplasia of the left pectoralis major muscle, partial absence of the upper costal cartilages, absence of the left areola, hypoplasia of the left forearm and hand, and dextrocardia without murmurs.

A bipedicled chest wall flap to cover an open elbow joint in a burned infant.

A 7-month-old girl sustained a deep and extensive burn of the posterior aspect of the left upper arm and forearm, complicated by an open wound of the elbow joint with exposed bone and articular cartilage. A bipedicled chest wall flap was used to cover the defect. The limb was preserved along with good function in the elbow joint. An above-elbow amputation was thus avoided.

Vibrotactile Stimulation for Object Stiffness Feedback Using Spatiotemporal Encoding.

Restoring stiffness perception in prosthetic users through non-invasive methods remains a major challenge in haptic feedback research. This study evaluates a wearable vibrotactile stimulation system that conveys object stiffness information through two encoding strategies: Proposed Spatiotemporal Encoding and Circular Encoding, applied to two anatomical locations: upper-arm and forearm. Ten healthy participants completed structured trials of stiffness-discrimination involving vibrotactile cues corresponding to four stiffness categories. The results showed significantly higher classification ac…

A Comparative Study Between Denervation and Extensor Release for Management of Resistant Tennis Elbow.

BACKGROUND: Extensor tendon release for tennis elbow is fraught with complications as persistence of pain because of adhesions together with weakness of wrist extension. Denervation of the epicondylar region through division of branches of posterior cutaneous nerve of the forearm (PCNF) was proposed to alleviate pain without drawbacks of tendon release. METHODS: The first group included 19 patients treated through dividing PCNF. The second group included 23 patients treated through tendon release. Inclusion criteria included symptoms for 6 months or longer. Clinical diagnosis was based on pos…

Clinical outcomes and radiographic correlations with fracture complexity in isolated capitellum fractures: A retrospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Isolated capitellum fractures, though rare, significantly impact elbow function and are often associated with falls on an outstretched hand (FOOSH). This study aims to evaluate the relationship between forearm radiological parameters and fracture complexity, as well as assess clinical outcomes in patients with isolated capitellum fractures. METHODS: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted on 28 fractures in 27 patients treated surgically at a tertiary center. Fractures were classified using the Bryan-Morrey system, and forearm parameters (maximum radial bow, location of maxi…

What does nerve ultrasound contribute to the evaluation of diabetic polyneuropathy over time? A prospective follow-up observational study of people with type 2 diabetes.

A method for locating surface electromyography electrodes on the flexor carpi ulnaris.

The flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU), a superficial forearm muscle which provides wrist flexion and ulnar deviation, is used in surface electromyography (sEMG) applications for clinical assessments, rehabilitation, and human-machine interfaces. Proper electrode location on the forearm muscles is imperative due to small signal amplitudes and susceptibility to interference and crosstalk, where poor placement can give ambiguous or erroneous results. Currently, no formal method exists for locating sEMG electrodes over the FCU muscle. General advice is to palpate and observe muscle movements, however, th…

Поврежденный неактивный поток крови у взрослых с множественным склерозом во время симпатоэксцитационного стимулятора.

Лица с множественным склерозом (МС) демонстрируют снижение физической способности, отчасти из-за автономной дисфункции. Автономные дефекты хорошо задокументированы, однако регулирование периферического потока крови во время физических упражнений остается неясным. Мы сравнили периферийные сосудистые реакции с динамическими упражнениями рукоприкладства, с и без легкой симпатоэксциативной стимуляцией, у людей с MS и без них. Двадцать один человек с MS (M/F: 4/17; 43 ± 10 лет) и 27 человек без MS (M/F: 10/17; 28 ± 6 лет) закончили 5-минутное динамическое ручное упражнение при 15% и 30% максимально
