Horizontal body and trunk center of mass offset and standing balance in scoliotic girls
In adolescent idiopathic scoliotic girls, postural imbalance is attributed to a sensory rearrangement of the motor system on the representation of the body in space. The objectives of this study were to test i...

Acute systematic and variable postural adaptations induced by an orthopaedic shoe lift in control subjects
A small leg length inequality, either true or functional, can be implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous spinal disorders. The correction of a leg length inequality with the goal of treating a spinal patho...

Biochemical and Mechanical Stimulation of Knee Fibroblasts for Regeneration of Ligaments In Vitro
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is commonly believed to have a very limited intrinsic healing potential [64]. Therefore damaged ACLs are most often surgically treated, resulting in variously successful ou...

The Effect of Autoclaving on Normal and Sarcomatous Bone Cells and on Graft Incorporation
The use of autoclaved bone goes back to the early part of this century. Groves, in 1917, used autoclaved bone when he ran out of autogenous bone to complete his grafts. In 1938, Orell u.sed what he calls “Os P...
