The dart thrower’s motion is a wrist rotation along an oblique plane from radial extension to ulnar flexion. We report an in-vivo study to confirm the use of the dart thrower’s motion during activities of daily living. Global wrist motion in ten volunteers was recorded using a three-dimensional optoelectronic motion capture system, in which digital infra-red cameras track the movement of retro-reflective marker clusters. Global wrist motion has been approximated to the dart thrower’s motion when hammering a nail, throwing a ball, drinking from a glass, pouring from a jug and twisting the lid of a jar, but not when combing hair or manipulating buttons. The dart thrower’s motion is the plane of global wrist motion used during most activities of daily living. Arthrodesis of the radiocarpal joint instead of the midcarpal joint will allow better wrist function during most activities of daily living by preserving the dart thrower’s motion.

Training the bench press exercise on a traditional flat bench does not induce a level of instability as seen in sport movements and activities of daily living. Twenty participants were recruited to test two forms of instability: using one dumbbell rather than two and lifting on the COR bench compared to a flat bench. Electromyography (EMG) amplitudes of the pectoralis major, middle trapezius, external oblique, and internal oblique were recorded and compared. Differences in range of motion (ROM) were evaluated by measuring an angular representation of the shoulder complex. Four separate conditions of unilateral bench press were tested while lifting on a: flat bench with one dumbbell, flat bench with two dumbbells, COR Bench with one dumbbell, and COR Bench with two dumbbells. The results imply that there are no differences in EMG amplitude or ROM between the COR bench and traditional bench. However, greater ROM was found to be utilized in the single dumbbell condition, both in the COR bench and the flat bench.

A triaxial flexible electrogoniometer has been developed to measure the three-dimensional angular motion of the shoulder joint during simulated activities of daily living. The motion of the elbow, forearm and wrist were also recorded and angle-angle diagrams were mathematically analysed to provide quantitative parameters regarding the control and co-ordination of the joints of the normal and the arthritic upper limb. Two parameters (slope and movement area quotient) were derived and used in the interpretation of joint motion during different activities.

Breast Motion

Although half the world’s population will develop breasts, there is limited research documenting breast structure or motion. Understanding breast structure and motion, however, is imperative for numerous applications, such as breast reconstruction, breast modeling to better diagnose and treat breast pathologies, and designing effective sports bras. To be impactful, future breast biomechanics research needs to fill gaps in our knowledge, particularly related to breast composition and density, and to improve methods to accurately measure the complexities of three-dimensional breast motion. These methods should then be used to investigate breast biomechanics while individuals, who represent the full spectrum of women in the population, participate in a broad range of activities of daily living and recreation.

Objective: The quantification of inter-segmental spine joint reaction forces during common workplace physical demands. Background: Many spine reaction force models have focused on the L5/S1 or L4/L5 joints to quantify the vertebral joint reaction forces. However, the L5/S1 or L4/L5 approach neglects most of the intervertebral joints. Methods: The current study presents a clinically applicable and noninvasive model which calculates the spinal joint reaction forces at six different regions of the spine. Subjects completed four ambulatory activities of daily living: level walking, obstacle crossing, stair ascent, and stair descent. Results: Peak joint spinal reaction forces were compared between tasks and spine regions. Differences existed in the bodyweight normalized vertical joint reaction forces where the walking (8.05[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]3.19[Formula: see text]N/kg) task had significantly smaller peak reaction forces than the stair descent (12.12[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]1.32[Formula: see text]N/kg) agreeing with lower extremity data comparing walking and stair descent tasks. Conclusion: This method appears to be effective in estimating the joint reaction forces using a segmental spine model. The results suggesting the main effect of peak reactions forces in the segmental spine can be influenced by task.

Danlos Syndrome

Abstract: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of inherited connective tissue disorders that manifests as hypermobility joint, hyperextensibility of the skin, and tissue fragility. There are 6 variants of this syndrome as follows: hypermobility, classic, vascular, kyphoscoliosis, athroclasia, and dermatosparaxis. The clinical manifestation of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is often related to joint and skin. However, it rarely manifests as fragility or rupture of artery, scoliosis, and mitral valve disorder. The diagnosis of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is based on clinical findings, family history with this syndrome, and additional tests inter alia DNA test. The management of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome could be medication, surgery, and rehabilitation. This rehabilitation is focused on increasing the joint stability, prohibiting for excessive burden to weight bearing joints, and using modified device to support activites of daily living without worsening the symptoms as well as supporting the psychological and medical social aspects of the patient. Keywords: Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, joint hypermobility, comprehensive rehabilitation   Abstrak: Sindrom Ehlers-Danlos (SED) adalah sekelompok gangguan pada jaringan penyambung yang bersifat diturunkan dan bermanifestasi sebagai hipermobilitas sendi, hiperekstensibilitas kulit, dan kerapuhan jaringan. Terdapat 6 jenis SED yaitu: hipermobilitas, klasik, vaskuler, kifoskoliosis, artrokalasia, dan dermatosparaksis. Manifestasi klinis SED sering berkaitan dengan sendi dan kulit. Manifestasi lain yang lebih jarang ditemukan antara lain kerapuhan atau ruptur pembuluh darah arteri, skoliosis, serta gangguan katup mitral. Diagnosis SED ditegakkan berdasarkan penemuan klinis, riwayat keluarga dengan SED, serta pemeriksaan penunjang antara lain tes DNA. Penanganan SED terdiri dari medikasi, operasi, dan rehabilitasi. Penanganan rehabilitasi difokuskan pada peningkatan stabilitas sendi, pencegahan beban berlebih pada sendi yang weight bearing, serta penggunaan modifikasi alat untuk membantu aktifitas sehari-hari tanpa memperberat gejala. Selain itu, rehabilitasi medik juga berperan penting terhadap aspek psikologik maupun sosial medik pasien SED. Kata kunci: sindroma Ehlers-Danlos, hipermobilitas sendi, rehabilitasi komprehensif
