Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between the knee function at 1 year postoperation and the gap difference (90° flexion gap-extension gap) in total knee replacement. Materials and Methods: Eighty-two consecutive osteoarthritis knees that underwent primary total knee replacement using navigation from March 2017 June 2017 were evaluated prospectively. The gap was measured using navigation after reducing the patella with towel clips. After checking the average values of the medial and lateral gaps at extension and 90° flexion knee, the gap difference (90° flexion gap-extension gap) was calculated. The knees were divided into three groups according to the gap difference (gap difference<0 mm, 0 mm≤gap difference<2 mm, 2 mm≤gap difference). The Knee Society score (KSS) and maximal knee flexion were compared at 1 year postoperation among three groups. Results: The numbers of knees according to groups were 37, 29, and 16 knees in regular order. The average of the KSS knee, KSS function, and maximal knee flexion at the 1-year follow-up were 81.21±8.31, 71.34±9.84, and 126.48°±7.28°, respectively. No statistically significant difference in KSS was observed among the 3 groups. The third group (2 mm≤gap difference) showed a larger maximal knee flexion than the other groups in the Mann-Whitney test. Conclusion: The group of total knee replacement (2 mm≤90° flexion gap-extension gap) showed larger maximal knee flexion than the other groups at the 1-year follow-up in statistics.

This paper proposes two types of the preview algorithms to predict the velocities and joint positions, and deals with a control approach using the preview algorithms for the precise trajectory control. Specifically, a predictor as the form of discrete time state equations is proposed based on the robot dynamics model linearized by the computed toque method. And another state predictor is proposed by the best line fitting in the least square sense, where present joint velocities and positions and several past positions are employed. Then computer simulations are performed for the SCARA robot with two d.o.f to show the validities of the proposed algorithms.

To determine the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis without taking the submentovertex radiograph, the author studied the interrelation between the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and the mandibular angle and the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis. In 56 subjects, the author measured the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and both mandibular angle using the modified Twirl Bow and the horizontal inclination of the both condylar long axis from submentovertex radiographs. The result were as follows: The mean value of the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and the mandibular angle was l8.50±1.48° in right side and 19.30±1.55° in left side. The mean value of the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis was 19.25±7.56° in right side and 20.27±7.050 in left side. The interrelation of the two angles was represented as follows: y = 20.31-0.0094× (r = -0.482, p<0.01) in right side and y = 20.64-0.066×(r =-0.301, p<0.05) in left side (y; the horizontal inclination of the condylar long axis, x; the angle formed by the midsagittal plane and the mandibular angle).

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the image of the Styrofoam Wedge that can minimize the position change by supporting the wrist during the True PA and lateral examination of the wrist. In 50 people, the gap between the distal radius joint facet and the wrist bone was measured after the wrist True PA and lateral images were obtained using a general examination(vertical), tube angle(vertical:10°, lateral:20°) and Styrofoam Wedge(vertical). When joint spacing was measured in the True PA and lateral images of the wrist, general examination(5.54mm, 9.42mm), tube angle(2.05mm, 5.07mm) and Styrofoam Wedge(1.79mm, 5.46mm) were shown to be small. The smaller the joint spacing, the easier it is to observe that is open. Therefore, True PA and lateral imaging of the wrist Styrofoam Wedge can reduce the distortion of the image and thus acquire images of high diagnostic value. In addition, it may be possible to reduce the deviation caused by the change of patient's position during re-projection.

The present study was conducted to examine the morphometrics and function of the disk on both sides among patients with facial asymmetry (FA) and to elucidate plausible correlations between internal derangement (ID) and FA. The sample was composed of 10 males and 27 females with FA. The disk status of all subjects was evaluated by bilateral high resolution magnetic resonance scans in the sagittal (closed and open) and coronal (closed) planes. Five types of disk displacement were identified accordingly. The disk function was diagnosed as normal disk function, disk displacement with reduction, and disk displacement without reduction. The disk shape on sagittal MRI in closed position was classified as bi-concave, biplanar, funnel/hemiconvex, and deformed. The disk position, translation and rotation were also measured. The difference between the shifted side and non-shifted side was analyzed by statistical analysis. Approximately $70\%$ of the patients in the present study showed unilateral or bilateral ID. It was found that anterior disk displacements (ADD), especially rotational ADD, occurred more frequently in the shifted side, while normal disk position was observed mainly in the non-shifted side (p<0.01). The disk of the shifted side showed significantly deformed configuration and inferior-anterior disk position. However, the disk of the non-deviated side showed hyper-mobility during jaw opening movement. These results demonstrate that in FA patients, the disks status of the shifted side is different from that of the non-shifted side, a phenomenon that could be correlated to facial asymmetry.

Consideration of Glenohumeral joint's image with the Changed Body angle of the Glenohumeral joint's Oblique Position in Erect Position. Glenohumeral joint's of Grashey method is a shoulder oblique method available to view the shoulder joint. Grashey method projects AP view of the Glenohumeral joint's so that the Humerus head's subluxation or joint degeneration can be easily visualized. However in this view, the patients, erect position, have to keep their body obliquely. Oblique position is will be needed to get the good quality Glenohumeral joint's view. Therefore, we thought of examining a method which shows the Glenohumeral joint's well by angling the patient one side upward in erect position. For this study, total 20 subject with no history of neurological or psychiatric illness, were recruited for examinations. They consisted of 13 mails and 7 femails, Statistic group analysis was performed with ANOVA test. Score of the evaluation of the expects were $30^{\circ}$ at $0.40{\pm}0.499$, $35^{\circ}$ at $1.34{\pm}0.657$, $40^{\circ}$ at $1.84{\pm}0.573$, $45^{\circ}$ at $0.76{\pm}0.649$, and they were significant(P<0.05). The degree of $40^{\circ}$ views were shown to yield good quality shoulder oblique images.

The purpose of this study is to offer basic data for the fall prevention by analyzing the kinematic difference between the lower limb joints and the lower extremities in elderly people's walking given the lower-limb resistance exercises. For this, three-dimensional image analysis was carried out by selecting 7 elderly women from over 70s to under 80 years old. To obtain the three-dimensional location coordinates in the lower limb joints and the lower extremities, it shot with 100Hz/s by using MCU(Qualisys, Sweden) camera. The shot image gained raw data on the location coordinates by using QTM(Qualisys, Sweden). As a result of calculating three-dimensional angle by using program of Matlab 6.5, the following conclusions were obtained. Flexion and extension in the thigh and the lower-leg extremities were indicated to be big in motion of flexion after exercising at E5. Foot segment indicated statistical difference while showing eversion at E4. Knee joints showed flexion at E4 after exercising. Ankle joints showed statistical difference while indicating motion in inversion at E3 and in eversion at E4(p<.05).
