Background: This study aimed to determine the effects of static stretching on the pain and range of motion (ROM) of shoulder joints in middle aged women patients with frozen shoulders. Design: One group pretest-posttest design Methods: The participants were 15 middle aged women patients with frozen shoulders in their 40s to 60s. Subjective and objective pain and joint ROM(range of motion) were measured, and the static stretching intervention consisted of 15 minutes of flexion, abduction and external rotation stretching. Results: The results of this study indicated that the daily pain of shoulder joints and pressure pain thresholds of the muscles surrounding the shoulder joints were generally improved after the intervention with the static stretching, for which significant differences were observed (p<0.05). The ROM of shoulder joint flexion, abduction, and external rotation was significantly increased (p<0.05) after the intervention with the static stretching. Conclusion: Static stretching intervention in patients with frozen shoulders relieved shoulder joint pain and had positive effects on the ROM of shoulder joints. Thus, the application of static stretching in middle aged womenpatients who experience severe pain could be effective at enhancing the function of shoulder joints without pain.

This study was introduce to Manual Mobilization of the Extremity Joints of Freddy M. Kaltenborn(1989). Much of Orthopedic Manipulative Therapy is devoted to the evaluation and treatment of joint and related soft tissue disorders and one of the primary treatment methods is mobilization. When examination reveals joint dysfunction, especially decreased range of motion, joint mobilization techniques are often utilized. Kaltenborn's joint mobilization techniques are performed as passive examination or treatment movements by the therapist. There are three basic joint play movements: (1) traction, (2) compression, and (3) translatoric gliding. The purpose of joint mobilization is to restore normal, painless joint function. Mechanically, the goal is to restore joint play and thus normalize roll-gliding which occurs during active movements.

Soft Golf is a newly developed recreational sport in our research team aimed to become a safe and easy-to-learn sport for all ages. The advantage of Soft Golf stems from lighter weight of the club and much larger area of the sweet spot. The purpose of this study is to analyze ground reaction force(GRF) and joint angle during soft Golf club and regular golf club swing. The GRF of golf swing was recorded by 3-D motion analysis system and forceplate. The joint angle of golf swing was obtained from computer simulation model. The GRF and joint angle of golf swing are used to analysis of golf swing pattern. The pattern of GRF and joint angle during soft golf club swing was similar to that during regular golf club swing. This result means that soft golf club reduces the risk of injury and has an effect on similar entertainment of regular golf.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of kinesio taping on lumbar flexibility onto erector spinae and sacroiliac joint. Methods: Sixty healthy adults (male=36, female=24) participated in this study and were randomly assigned to the experimental group that received kinesio taping onto erector spinae and sacroiliac joint (n=30) or the control group that received X-letter placebo taping onto them (n=30). Lumbar flexibility (flexion, extension, lateral flexion, and rotation) was measured using back range-of-motion instrument (BROM) II before and after taping. Results: In the change of lumbar flexibility after taping in the experimental group, there were statistically significant difference in flexion, lateral flexion, and rotation (p<0.05), but there was no significant difference in extension. There was no significant difference in the change of lumbar flexibility after taping in the control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, kinesio taping onto erector spinae and sacroiliac joint improved the joint function. Kinesio taping may reduce the muscle tension and facilitate the circulation of tissue fluid. In light of these results, it is thought that the application of kinesio taping had influence on an increase in lumbar flexibility. Therefore, kinesio taping will be able to be used as the method of the prevention of pain and the treatment in the lumbar region.

Author report a case of double metatarso-phalangeal joint transplantation to the elbow joint in the 31 years old female patient who have large bone defect associated with skin and soft tissue defect. The donor joints were second and third metatarso-phalangeal joint as double joint transfer fashion to enhance stability of graft. The graft based on dorsalis pedis vessel to anastomosed with radial artery of recipient site. The result is unsatisfactory because of long lasting lateral instability of reconstructed elbow joint in spite of 40 degree flexion motion and fair axial stability. We can conclude that joints from foot can not be an effective donor for biologic joint arthroplasty of elbow joint even though double metatarso-phalangeal joint were harvested.

Although there have been various studies related to the body's movement from a sitting to a standing position (sit-to-stand task), there is limited information on the kinematic changes on the frontal and transverse planes. The purpose of this study was to ascertain how pelvic tilt affects kinematic changes in the frontal and transverse planes in the hip and knee joints during a sit-to-stand task. For this study, 33 healthy participants (13 female) were recruited. Each participant rose from a sitting to a standing posture at his or her preferred speed for each of three different pelvic tilt trials (anterior, posterior, and neutral), and the measured angles were analyzed using a 3-D motion analysis system. A one-way repeated measure analysis of variance was performed with Bonferroni's post hoc test. In addition, an independent t-test was carried out to determine the sex differences in hip and knee joint kinematic changes during the sit-to-stand tasks. The results were as follows: 1) The hip and knee joint angle in the frontal and transverse planes showed a significant difference between the different pelvic tilt postures during sitting in the pre-buttock lift-off phase (pre-LO) (p<.05). Compared to the posterior pelvic tilt posture, the anterior pelvic tilt posture involved significantly greater hip joint adduction and internal rotation, knee joint adduction, and reduced internal rotation of the knee joint. 2) Sex differences were found with significant differences for males in the initial and maximal angles in the frontal plane of the hip and knee joint (p<.05). Females had a significantly smaller initial abduction angle of the hip joint and a significantly greater maximal angle of the hip adduction joint. These results suggest that selecting a sit-to-stand exercise for pelvic tilt posture should be considered to control abnormal movement in the lower extremities.

In the paper, a design method of knee and pelvis joint in the biped robot is proposed for shock absorption and gravity compensation. Similarly to the human's body, the knee joints of the biped robot support most body weight and get a shock from the landing motion of the foot on the floor. The torque of joint motor is also increased sharply to keep the balance of the robot. Knee and pelvis joints with the spring are designed to compensate the gravity force and reduce the contact shock of the robot. To verify the efficiency of the proposed design method, we develope a biped robot with the joint mechanism using springs. At first, we experiment with the developed robot on the static motions such as the bent-knee posture both without load and with load on the flat ground, and the balance posture on the incline plane. The current of knee joint is measured to analyze the impact force and energy consumption of the joint motors. Also, we observe the motor current of knee and pelvis joints for the walking motion of the biped robot. The current responses of joint motors show that the proposed method has an effect on shock reduction and gravity compensation, and improve the energy efficiency of walking motions for the biped robot.
