The purpose of this study was to explore the balance of different condition of grounds through changing the inclines, and investigate the influence of lower extremities in different inclines. 20 healthy young males were taken as experimental participants. The Six-degree-of-freedom Motion Platform was taken to change the inclines to: -5°,0°,5°,10°. The Vicon three-dimension motion analysis system was utilized to capture the spatiotemporal parameters and the three-dimensional coordinates of lower extremities. On uphill, incline had no significant impact on balance. But tortuosity of hip and knee could significantly increase with the incline. On downhill, balance was significantly less than flat. Tortuosity of knee joint was significant larger than it on the flat ground. The mobility of hip and knee joint was large on uphill; the mobility of knee is large on downhill, but the balance was reduced. These could provide useful biomechanics information on clinical evaluation with dynamic balance. The result might have great significance to the lower extremities rehabilitation.

Study design: This study is a prospective study. Aim: Lower extremity malalignment is an important etiologic factor in patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). We hypothesized that lower limb malalignment may affect dynamic balance and physical function. This prospective study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the lower limb alignment and the dynamic balance and physical function in patients with PFPS. Methods: The study included 62 individuals with unilateral PFPS. Pain severity was assessed by the numerical pain scale and the pain duration was recorded. Lower extremity bone alignment was evaluated by the lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA) and the medial proximal tibia angle. Dynamic postural balance was assessed by the star excursion balance test. The functional status of the patients was evaluated by the 30-second chair stand test. Results: The mean duration of the pain was 24.2 ± 31.5 months and the mean pain severity was 8.1 ± 1.4. Although there was a significant difference found between the affected and unaffected LDFA values of lower extremities ( p < 0.05), there was no difference found with regard to the dynamic balance values of the lower extremities ( p > 0.05). However, significant changes of posterolateral balance were identified at a painful side without causing a postural dynamic imbalance ( p < 0.05). Conclusion: In our study, we found a valgus deformity as a deterioration in the lower limb alignment of patients with PFPS which may cause a deterioration of posterolateral balance only. However, no change in postural dynamic balance was observed in the comparison of affected side and unaffected side. Dynamic postural balance has been influenced by many kinematic changes related to lower extremities including pelvis, hip, and ankle. Thus, reciprocal mechanisms in the anatomical structures may compensate the postural balance dynamically.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to provide a perspective on vestibular rehabilitation for children. Conclusion The developing child with vestibular dysfunction may present with a progressive gross motor delay, sensory disorganization for postural control, gaze instability, and poor perception of motion and verticality. It is important that vestibular-related impairments be identified early in infancy or childhood so that evidence-based interventions can be initiated. A focused and custom vestibular rehabilitation program can improve vestibular-related impairments, enabling participation. Depending on the child's age, diagnosis, severity, and quality of impairments, vestibular rehabilitation programs may consist of gaze stabilization exercises, static and dynamic balance exercises, gross motor practice, and/or habituation exercises. Exercises must be modified for children, done daily at home, and incorporated into the daily life situation.

Abstract Physicians use a variety of methodologies within the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, to rate nerve injuries depending on the type of injury and location of the nerve. Traumatic injuries that cause impairment to the peripheral or brachial plexus nerves are rated using Section 15.4e, Peripheral Nerve and Brachial Plexus Impairment, for upper extremities and Section 16.4c, Peripheral Nerve Rating Process, for lower extremities. Verifiable nerve lesions that incite the symptoms of complex regional pain syndrome, type II (similar to the former concept of causalgia), also are rated in these sections. Nerve entrapments, which are not isolated traumatic events, are rated using the methodology in Section 15.4f, Entrapment Neuropathy. Type I complex regional pain syndrome is rated using Section 15.5, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome for upper extremities or Section 16.5, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome for lower extremities. The method for grading the sensory and motor deficits is analogous to the method described in previous editions of AMA Guides. Rating the permanent impairment of the peripheral nerves or brachial plexus is similar to the methodology used in the diagnosis-based impairment scheme with the exceptions that the physical examination grade modifier is never used to adjust the default rating and the names of individual nerves or plexus trunks, as opposed to the names of diagnoses, appear in the far left column of the rating grids.
