The document discusses floor reaction orthoses (FRO). It defines an FRO as a custom plastic device that supports the ankle and foot from below the knee to the foot. An FRO works by holding the ankle in plantar flexion, which shifts the line of force from the ground reaction force behind the ankle and in front of the knee, generating extension at the knee. This allows patients with weak leg muscles to walk without knee buckling. FROs are indicated for patients with conditions like polio, cerebral palsy, or spinal cord injury that cause lower leg weakness. They provide knee stability during walking in a lightweight design.

prosthetic management of partial foot and syme's amputation is a very challenging task. Now a days the availability of advanced technology some how fulfilling the need of the amputee but not the fully.
The document summarizes the biomechanics of the ankle joint complex. It describes the anatomy and function of the talocrural joint (ankle joint), subtalar joint, and transverse tarsal joint. The ankle-foot complex consists of 28 bones and 25 joints that allow the foot to meet stability and mobility demands through dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, pronation, and supination movements. Key bones include the talus, tibia, and fibula. Ligaments such as the deltoid and tibiofibular ligaments provide stability to the ankle mortise.
Footwear and foot orthotics are important for foot function and treatment of various conditions. Footwear consists of an upper, sole, and heel. The upper covers the dorsal foot and includes the vamp, toe box, and quarter. The sole lies under the plantar foot and includes the ball, waist, and heel. Foot orthotics are modifications made to shoes to treat conditions like pes planus, pes cavus, heel pain, and leg length discrepancy. Common modifications include heel wedges, pads, arch supports, and rocker bottoms. Proper shoe fitting and use of orthotics can help treat many foot and lower limb issues.
Human locomotion, also known as gait, involves coordinated rotary movements of the body produced by alternating movements of the lower extremities. This carries the head, arms, and trunk (HAT), which makes up 75% of total body weight. There are two phases in one gait cycle for each extremity - the stance phase when the foot is in contact with the ground (60% of cycle) and swing phase when it is not (40% of cycle). Gait can be described using temporal variables like stance time and spatial variables like stride length.
This document discusses limb length discrepancy (LLD), including its definition, causes, effects, evaluation, and management. LLD is when one lower limb is noticeably longer than the other. It is classified as structural or functional. LLD of 2.5 cm or more can cause back/hip/knee pain and gait abnormalities. Evaluation involves history, exam including block testing, and imaging like scansograms. LLD can be managed non-surgically with shoe lifts for small discrepancies or surgically with epiphysiodesis or bone lengthening depending on the severity.
This document discusses flat feet (pes planus), including its anatomy, causes, types, symptoms, physical exam findings, and treatment options. Key points include:
- Pes planus is characterized by a low or absent medial longitudinal arch. It can be flexible or rigid.
- Causes include ligament laxity, obesity, muscle weakness, bony abnormalities, and tarsal coalitions.
- Treatment focuses on orthotics, stretches, braces, and surgery if conservative options fail. Surgical procedures include tendon lengthening, osteotomies, and fusions.

The document discusses the anatomy and function of the median nerve and the importance of an opposable thumb for humans. It then focuses on median nerve injuries that cause paralysis of the thenar muscles and inability to oppose the thumb. Various tendon transfer techniques are described to restore thumb opposition, including the Bunnell opponensplasty using the palmaris longus tendon. Post-operative immobilization of the thumb and wrist is recommended to allow healing after opponensplasty surgery.
The document summarizes the pulley system in the hand that provides precise control of finger movement. It describes that there are two types of pulleys - annular and cruciate. The five annular pulleys (A1-A5) are rings of connective tissue that help direct the flexor tendons. The A2 and A4 pulleys are the largest and most important. Damage to the pulleys can cause the tendon to be pulled away from the finger joints, weakening grip. The three cruciate pulleys (C1-C3) provide additional stability but are less important than the annular pulleys.

Biomechanics of cane, crutch and walkerRashmitadash3
Walking aids such as crutches, walkers, and canes are used to assist with locomotion by reducing pressure on injured tissues and compensating for loss of mobility. They work by transmitting body weight through the hands and arms to provide stability, support, and assist with propulsion during walking. The proper selection and fitting of an assistive device, along with training in safe usage techniques, can help ensure users experience the physiological and psychological benefits of increased mobility while minimizing forces placed on the body.

The extensor mechanism of the knee involves four quadriceps muscles that connect the femur to the tibia via the patella. The quadriceps muscles include the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis. They originate on the femur and connect to the patella. The patella then connects to the tibia via the patellar tendon. This mechanism improves the efficiency of knee extension by increasing the lever arm of the quadriceps muscles. It functions via a "screw home mechanism" where the tibia rotates internally at the end of knee extension, maximally stabilizing the knee joint.

Objective: Tennis elbow is an inflammatory condition of the common extensor origin over the lateral epicondyle. This condition does not affect tennis players only. It often follows an injury or sudden contraction of the common extensor origin.There is many treatments and approaches towards Tennis elbow but physiotherapy is the best modern conservative treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of movement with mobilization in reducing pain and increasing strength in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. Design and setting: A randomized controlled study design was used to examine the differences between conventional physical therapy and physical therapy with manual mobilization approach for study duration of 15 days. Subjects: Twelve subjects of both male and female gender were divided into 2 groups. Experimental group treated with ultrasound therapy, mobilization and progressive resisted exercises. Control group treated with ultrasound therapy and progressive resisted exercises only the results were analyzed. The procedure was done in Physiotherapy Department at Masterskill college of Nursing and health. Outcome Measurement: Two outcome measures were used. NPRS for the measurement of severity of pain and various weighted sand bags (0.25 kg to 2kg) were used to measure the strength. Results: The data shows a significant difference in the post test values of pain and strength between experimental group and control group. Experimental group shows much decrease in pain and increase in strength than the control group. Conclusion: The study concludes that the manual mobilization with movement along with ultrasound therapy and progressive resisted exercises is effective in reducing pain and increasing strength than that of progressive resisted exercise along with ultra sound therapy in adults with chronic lateral epicondylitis.
This document discusses various common wrist and hand injuries in athletes. It describes injuries such as De Quervain's tenosynovitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar nerve compression, sprains of the ulnar collateral ligament of the first MCP joint, mallet finger, jersey finger, and trigger finger. For each injury, it discusses symptoms, diagnostic tests, and treatment options including splinting, injections, and in some cases surgery. The goal of treatment is usually conservative management but some injuries may require surgical intervention.
Trigger finger is a tenosynovitis of the flexor tendons in the fingers caused by repetitive use or trauma. It causes inflammation and thickening of the tendon, which can get stuck in the flexed position. Non-surgical treatments include splinting, steroid injections, and physical therapy exercises. Surgical release of the tendon sheath is considered if symptoms do not improve with non-surgical options or the finger is locked in the flexed position. Trigger finger most commonly affects the ring finger and thumb.
The document discusses the muscles that contribute to flexion of the fingers at different joints. The lumbricales muscles originate from the tendons of the flexor digitorum profundus and insert on the proximal phalanges, contributing to flexion at the metacarpophalangeal joints. The flexor digitorum superficialis originates from the humerus, ulna, and radius and inserts on the middle phalanges, contributing to flexion at the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints. The flexor digitorum profundus originates from the ulna and inserts on the distal phalanges, contributing to flexion at the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints.
This document discusses trigger finger, which is caused by thickening of the flexor tendon that gets caught on the edge of the A1 pulley when flexing the finger. It describes the anatomy of the tendon pulley system in the hand. Trigger finger is most common in the ring finger and is often due to repetitive trauma. Symptoms include inability to smoothly flex or extend the finger and locking of the finger. Treatment involves splinting, NSAIDs, corticosteroid injections, and surgery to release the A1 pulley if conservative measures fail. Pediatric trigger thumb has a different etiology and presentation compared to adults and usually requires surgery for release.
Golfer elbow, also known as medial epicondylitis, is an overuse injury caused by repetitive motions that place stress on the tendons where the forearm muscles attach to the inner bump of the elbow. The condition causes pain on the inner elbow and difficulty with wrist movement. It commonly affects people over 30 years old who participate in sports like golf or tennis that involve swinging motions, or those with occupations requiring strong gripping. Conservative treatment includes rest, anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy, and bracing to decrease stress on the tendons.

Cubital tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the ulnar nerve at the elbow, which can cause numbness, tingling, and weakness in the fourth and fifth fingers. It is often caused by repetitive elbow bending or prolonged pressure on the elbow. Diagnosis involves testing for sensory and motor function deficits in the ulnar nerve distribution and provocative tests that reproduce symptoms. Treatment may include splinting, anti-inflammatory medications, corticosteroid injections, physical therapy, and surgery if conservative measures fail.
This document summarizes thalassemia, a hereditary blood disorder caused by reduced or absent production of hemoglobin A. It describes the main types (alpha and beta thalassemia), clinical features like anemia and jaundice, diagnostic testing, and management which includes lifelong blood transfusions and iron chelation therapy to prevent complications from iron overload. The most severe forms can be fatal without treatment while milder forms may cause few symptoms.
Suffocation is a general term used to indicate death due to lack of oxygen from either lack of oxygen in the breathable environment or obstruction of external air passages. Asphyxia is caused by lack of oxygen in respired air leading to hypoxaemia and hypercapnia. Smothering causes asphyxia through mechanical obstruction of the external airways (nose and mouth). Suicidal smothering often involves placing a plastic bag over the head in an attempt to cut off oxygen. Classic signs of asphyxia include petechial hemorrhages, cyanosis, congestion, and soft tissue swelling due to increased venous pressure and fluid leakage from blood vessels.
Road accidents typically cause gross musculoskeletal or organ damage, severe haemorrhaging, airway blockage from blood, or traumatic asphyxiation from chest crushing. Railway suicides often result in decapitation or extensive body disintegration from being struck by a fast-moving train. Toxicology screens should be performed to check for alcohol or drugs which may have contributed to suicidal behavior. Electrical injuries may also complicate cases where high-voltage train systems are involved.
Strangulation, hanging, suffocation, road/railway injuries, and electrocution are common methods of suicidal death. Strangulation causes asphyxia by compressing the neck and blocking blood flow and air passage to the brain. Hanging causes cerebral hypoxia by compressing the neck and jugular veins. Suffocation involves blocking external airways. Road/railway injuries typically cause severe trauma, hemorrhage or organ damage. Electrocution usually causes cardiac arrhythmias and ventricular fibrillation leading to cardiac arrest. Autopsies look for neck furrows, petechiae, internal injuries or electrical marks depending on the method.
Retinitis pigmentosa is a slow degenerative, hereditary disease of the retina that involves the rods and cones. It typically appears as a recessive trait due to consanguinity of the parents. Patients experience night blindness in childhood, tunnel vision or central visual loss in middle age, and complete blindness in advanced age. Physical examination shows black spots resembling bone corpuscles across the retina, extremely attenuated retinal blood vessels, and pale optic discs, indicating optic nerve atrophy. There is no specific treatment currently available, but cataract surgery and rehabilitation services can help manage complications.
This document discusses refractive errors of the eye, including emmetropia, myopia, and hypermetropia. Emmetropia is the normal optical condition where light focuses on the retina. Myopia, or near-sightedness, occurs when light focuses in front of the retina. Symptoms include indistinct distant vision. Hypermetropia, or far-sightedness, is when light focuses behind the retina, causing blurred near vision and eye strain. Both conditions are typically corrected with spectacles, while myopia can also be treated through surgical procedures like LASIK in some cases.
This document provides guidance on evaluating patients presenting with gradual loss of vision. It outlines taking a history to determine factors like onset, progression, associated symptoms and medical history. The physical exam involves assessing visual acuity, the red reflex, visual fields and optic nerve/macula. Common causes of gradual vision loss include glaucoma, refractive error, cataract, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may involve prescription lenses, medical management or referral for further evaluation.
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, often caused by an increase in intraocular pressure. The aqueous humour maintains pressure in the eye and normally flows through the anterior chamber, draining out of the eye. In glaucoma, the drainage pathways become blocked, increasing pressure and damaging the optic nerve. There are several types of glaucoma including open-angle glaucoma, the most common type caused by slow drainage blockage, and closed-angle glaucoma caused by physical blockage of drainage canals. Treatment aims to lower pressure through eye drops or surgery and slow progression of vision loss.
ELECTROCUTION (suicidal)
- The most common cause of death from electrocution is cardiac arrhythmias leading to ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. Less commonly, respiratory arrest can occur if the current passes through the thorax, causing spasms or paralysis of intercostal muscles and the diaphragm.
- External signs include an areola of blanched skin at the contact points and possible "crocodile skin" lesions from sparking over several centimeters if voltages were in the kilovolt range. Internal autopsy findings are often absent or non-specific since the most common mode of death is cardiac arrhythmia.
Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus where changes occur in the retina. It is a leading cause of vision loss among working age adults in Malaysia. The risk of retinopathy rises with longer duration of diabetes and poor blood glucose control. Annual eye screening is recommended to detect early signs and plan treatment. Laser photocoagulation is commonly used to treat early stages while vitrectomy may be used for advanced proliferative cases with vitreous hemorrhage. Anti-VEGF drugs combined with laser can also treat diabetic macular edema.
Cataracts are a clouding of the lens of the eye that can cause gradual vision loss. They are usually caused by aging but can be caused by other factors like diabetes, smoking, or UV exposure. Cataracts are diagnosed based on a decrease in the red reflex seen during eye exams. They can be treated surgically through phacoemulsification to remove the clouded lens and replace it with an intraocular lens, improving vision. Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease of the macula that causes central vision loss. Dry AMD involves drusen buildup while wet AMD has abnormal blood vessel growth. Treatments include vitamins for dry AMD and anti-VEGF injections or photod
The document summarizes the three stages of swallowing (deglutition):
1) Buccal stage where the tongue retracts forcing the bolus into the oropharynx.
2) Pharyngeal stage is involuntary where the soft palate and larynx elevate to prevent food entering the nasal cavity and lungs. The bolus moves into the upper esophagus.
3) Esophageal stage where peristalsis propels the bolus through the esophagus and into the stomach over 8-20 seconds while the lower esophageal and stomach sphincters relax.
The document describes a case of a 26-year-old man presenting with facial swelling, lumps in his armpits, chest pain for 3 months, and weight loss over 6 months. Examination found nail clubbing and a chest X-ray showed abnormalities. Biopsy and scans confirmed stage IV lung cancer. Nail clubbing is associated with lung diseases and cancers and results from vascular changes and growth factors from the lungs. Different types of biopsies are used to diagnose cancers including needle, endoscopic, and surgical biopsies. The anatomy of the chest is also described including structures like the ribs, sternum, and thoracic skeleton that make up the rib cage.
Mr. Lim, a 47-year-old man, presented with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Endoscopy revealed a duodenal ulcer and CT scan showed a 3cm pancreatic head mass suspected to be a gastrinoma. Laboratory tests found highly elevated gastrin and basal gastric acid levels consistent with Zollinger-Ellison Syndrome. Further tests demonstrated increased gastrin response to secretin stimulation, confirming a gastrin-secreting pancreatic tumor as the cause of his symptoms. Complications of ZES include peptic ulcers, diarrhea from excess acid inactivating pancreatic enzymes, and potential malignant spread of gastrinomas. Omeprazole was prescribed to reduce gastric acid levels and treat his
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

2. • Also known as ulnar drift.
• Condition:
• Wrist or fingers shift in the direction of the
Ulna
• Or it shift towards the little finger side of the
forearm.
• Due to inflammation at metacarpophalangeal
joints.
6. • In trigger 2,
- The patient noticed the formation of boggy
swelling on her fingers, wrist and elbows.
7. Causes: Synovitis
- Synovitis causes ‘boggy’ joint swelling
- The skin overlying the affected joint is
warm and red due to increased in blood
flow.
- On palpation, the swelling is tender (not
hard but pain)
8. In RA,
immune system attacks the lining of the joint
(synovium) Inflammation Releasing
chemicals Synovium thickening and damaging
the bones, cartilage, ligament and tendon
11. • PIP joint to become flexed (bent)
• DIP joint is pulled up into too much extension
(hyperextension)
12. CAUSES
• This disorder most often results from rheumatoid
arthritis
• but can also result from injury (such as deep cuts,
joint dislocations, or fractures)
• People with rheumatoid arthritis can develop the
disorder because they have long-standing
inflammation of the middle joint of a finger.
• If the deformity is caused by an injury, the injury
usually occurs at the base of a tendon (called the
middle phalanx extensor tendon)
13. The tendons which straighten these joints are
a bit complicated. They are like strings running
from the the sides and the back of the finger
to a sheet on the top of the finger.
When the finger is hit or bent forcefully in just
the wrong way, the sheet on the top of the
finger (the central slip of tendon) tears away
from its attachment
As a result, the middle joint (called the
proximal interphalangeal joint) becomes
“buttonholed” between the outer bands of the
tendon that runs to the end of the finger (that
is, the bones of the joint push out through the
bands of the tendon like a button through a
buttonhole).
15. NON SURGICAL
Protection: If you participate in sports, you may have to wear protective
splinting for several weeks after the splint is removed.
Exercises: Your physician may recommend stretching exercises to improve the
strength and flexibility in the fingers.
Splints: A splint will be applied to the finger at the middle joint to straighten it. This
keeps the ends of the tendon from separating as it heals. It also allows the end joint
of the finger to bend. It is important to wear the splint continuously for the
recommended length of time -- usually 6 weeks for a young patient and 3 weeks for
an elderly patient. Following this period of immobilization, you may still have to wear
the splint at night.
16.
17. SURGICAL
• The deformity results from rheumatoid
arthritis.
• The tendon is severed.
• A large bone fragment is displaced from its
normal position.
• The condition does not improve with splinting.
