...Plantar fasciopathy Plantar Fasciitis is a common foot pain condition. Sometimes it is known as heel pain or arch pain. It is a aggravate pain at the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia). Plantar fasciitis is the inflammation of the thick fibrous band of tissues (the plantar fascia)that runs along the bottom of the foot. This tissue connects to the hell to base of the toes. Under normal circumstances,the palntar fascia act as a shock-absorbing “bowstring”within the arch of the foot. If tension on this “bowstring” becomes too great, irritation or inflammation can be occur, causes pain. Possible Causes: Poor biomechanics at the foot, knee or hip causes an abnormal walking pattern and adversely affects the weight distribution on the foot....

...Evolving Medicated Footwear for Diabetic Patients by: Md. Tareq Bin Satter Chapter I Page 1 of 85 Study on Evolving Medicated Footwear for Diabetic Patients by: Md. Tareq Bin Satter 1.1 Introduction Foot is the important part of the body. If someone has diabetes he/she is more likely to have to foot problems. Diabetes can damage your nerves. This, in turn, may make you less able to feel an injury or pressure on the skin of your foot. You may not notice a foot injury until severe damage or infection develops. This may led to gangrene in the through simple injuries eventually amputation will be the final choice. So a diabetes patient always has to wear specialized footwear that can protect the foot in more sophisticated way. Diabetes changes your body's ability to fight infections. Damage to blood vessels causes because of diabetes results in less blood and oxygen getting to your feet. Because of this, small sores or breaks in the skin may become deeper skin ulcers. The affected limb may need to be amputated when these skin ulcers do not improve, get larger, or go deeper into the skin. Worldwide, 50% of all leg amputations happen to people living with diabetes. In India, an estimated 50,000 amputations are carried out every year due to diabetes related foot problems. By employing reconstructive and corrective footwear, to remove the high pressure points, a large number of such amputations can be prevented. Thus the patient can lead a near normal life, free ...

...The residence that will be assessed for security vulnerability is located in Rancocas, New Jersey. The house is situated in a small historic town that is completely encircled with trees. There are currently 125 houses in the community with no prospects for future development. The youngest house within the small town is 135 years old with the oldest being 165 years old. The residence that is being assessed is approximately 2000 square feet and is partnered with a 500 square foot detached garage and a 250 square foot storage building. Dwelling Description: The main house has three points of entry including the front entrance, a side entrance, and a basement entrance. The front entrance has a gridded glass entrance door and a metal security door with a normal entry lock and a deadbolt lock. Having a strong, well-constructed door is key to preventing a break in. According to the Washington Post (2008), “34 percent of all burglaries usually occur by way of the front door”. The side entrance has a wooden door and a metal security door with a normal entry lock and a deadbolt lock. The basement entrance is a standard weather door that has a latch that fastens the doors together to prevent access. The residence has 32 windows scattered across four floors. Of the 32 windows, 24 of the windows are new double-hung windows with security latches and double locks. The remainder of the windows is wooden weighted windows original to the house, with circle latch fasteners that...

...Range of motion is the distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position while properly attached to the body. Range of motion exercises refers to the act of attempting to increase the distances by stretching from flexion to extension for physiological gain. Each specific joint has a normal range of motion that is expressed in degrees. Goniometer and Inclinometer are some of the devices used to measure range of motion in the joints of the body. As measurement results will vary by the degree of resistance, two levels of range of motion results are usually recorded. Limited range of motion refers to a reduction in a joints’ ability to move. This may be due to a mechanical problem with the specific joint or due to injury or diseases such as arthritis. Pain, swelling and stiffness associated with arthritis can limit the range of motion of a particular joint and impair function and ability to perform usual daily activities. Range of motion exercises is ordered by a doctor and can help keep the joints and muscles healthy. These exercises are most convenient for those who spend plenty of time in bed or a wheelchair. They help prevent joints such as knees and elbows from getting locked and stiff. Range of motion exercises are not for building muscles. There are three types of range of motion exercises. Passive Range of Motion: The therapist or equipment moves the joint through the range of motion with no effort from the patient...

...flexors contracting working in conjunction with the hamstring or semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris muscles staying relaxed. They then connect to the upper leg or femur. The contraction of the quadriceps or rather the four muscles that make up that muscle group the rectus femoris, vastus intermeius, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis initiate movement of the lower leg. The lower leg or tibia and fibula is connected to the upper leg via the knee or patella. The knee extends due to these contractions and moves the tibia and fibula. The lower leg connects to the tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges or foot via the ankle joint. The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles contract to move the ankle, and the tibialis anterior tightens to hold the ankle rigid enough to move the football. Other muscles are also involved in ensuring stabilization including but not limited to the rectus abdominus, erector spinae and the gluteal muscles otherwise commonly...

...used motorcycle. Well at about that time salesman that worked there pulls up into the detail shop. The salesman was driving a Honda CBR1000r limited edition, black and red with white ghost flames with chrome rims and exhaust. The bike really looked nice. I was like a fat kid drooling over a box of donuts. I started talking to him about the bike and what he had done to it. We got on to the subject that he was selling it. I continued to look at the bike and walk around it a couple of times. Well at that moment he ask if I wanted to test drive it. Well I realize the big decision was if I was really going to get on it and drive it or not. He said that he didn’t have a problem with it as long as I didn’t wreck, I said ok no problem. So I straddled the big CBR1000r then, I squeeze the clutch lever in and pushed the start button. The bike started up and just rumbled the whole detail department. I pull out of the detail shop and onto the road, and just twisted my right hand about half way back giving it more throttle and switched gears into second and the front tire lifted up off the ground. The adrenaline rush that I got off that was Iike I just won the lottery or something. Then, the next thing I knew I was going about 47mph starting into a curve right near another dealership, Burns Chevrolet. As I was coming around the curve there was about a foot of rubber radiator hose in the road and I hit it. About that time I lost control of the motorcycle and started heading for the curb. Next...

...Control Architecture and Algorithms of the Anthropomorphic Biped Robot Bip2000 Christine Azevedo and the BIP team INRIA - 655 Avenue de l’Europe 38330 Montbonnot, France ABSTRACT INRIA [1] and LMS [2] have designed and realized an anthropomorphic legged robot, BIP2000 (fig.1). A planar version achieves walking, and the whole robot is able to keep its balance on one foot while moving. The purpose of this paper is to present the principles and the architecture of the robot control we have used. After having presented the robotic system, and the software architecture, we will detail the principles of the robot control. We will finally present implementation issues and experimental results. Keywords: Robot Control, Biped Robots, Walking Machines. 1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SYSTEM The design of the robot was inspired from the human anthropometric data and his dynamic capabilities. We recall here only the main characteristics of BIP2000, the reader being referred to [5] and [9] for more details. Fig1. The Biped Robot BIP2000 Fig2. BIP without Pelvis 1.1 Mechanical Structure of BIP2000 Designed by the Laboratoire de Mécanique des Solides of Poitiers [2], the robot has 15 active joints (fig.3). It is able to walk forward thanks to the rotation of the ankles, knees and hips allowing the flexion/extension of the biped in the sagittal plane (fig.4). The ability of changing direction is given by the trunk, the pelvis and the 2 hips internal/external rotations. For the lateral equilibrium...

...Mr. Otte Weight Training Date: May 8, 2010 The first workout that I will be showing you is an upper body workout, not to intense, but it gets the job done. Workout number one is going to deal with the upper body exercises and there’s a lot but I’m just going to give you a few that would be the best ones to do. * Upper Body workout: Day 1, Polymeric Press up: Begin in the standard press-up position on the floor. Your upper body should be supported with your hands on the floor - shoulder- width apart. Your arms are fully extended, and your legs and feet are supported by your toes, which are hip-width apart. To begin the exercise, lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows while keeping your trunk and hips extended and "rigid." When your chest is one to two inches from the floor, rapidly straighten your arms and push your body upward as fast as possible. As your arms reach full extension, release your hand contact with the floor and clap your hands together very quickly, before returning your hands to the floor in the same position that they were in before the clap. Repeat this action (lowering, rapid extension, clap and land on your hands) for the prescribed number of repetitions. The polymeric push-up helps to develop upper-body power as well as stabilizing strength in the core muscles. These muscles work together to stabilize the upper body during running, improving running economy. Day 2, Prone Trunk Extensions: Begin by lying face down on the floor...

...abuse of the tenth century in China. Chinese girls were subject to a process in which their feet were bent to make them small “… preferably only three inches long, by pressing the four smaller toes under the sole or ball of the foot” (279). That would allow them to socially fit and be able to get married otherwise they were subjected to disrespect and taunts of the community. That is how women was abused based on tradition was found at first by men. In “Shrouded in Contradiction”, for Gelareh Asayesh, I see another face of women’s abuse. Asayesh was born in Tehran, Iran where women have to wear “hijab”-Islamic covering, so they were forced to wear veil. In both cases I see traditions are being used to manipulate and abuse women as part of the society, which will lead to societies’ destruction as Fairbank says “the talent that one sees in Chinese women today had little chance to grow and express itself. This mad a weak foundation for a modern society.” (281). Women are essential part of any society, so controlling their free will to choose or treating them as possessions will impact society in general. In “footbinding”, it’s clear that women are being used to satisfy men’s need. The Virtual purpose behind “golden lily”, as they called small foot, was sexuality; however, basically it was perpetuating male domination. Chinese...

...An update on Calcaneal Apophysitis (Sever’s disease) Often children between the ages of eight and thirteen attend the podiatry clinic with heel pain. One differential diagnosis is calcaneal apophysitis or otherwise known as sever’s disease. Calcaneal apophysitis is the inflammation of a calcaneal growth plate causing pain in the heel posteriorly, it is classified as a non-articular Osteochondrosis at an impact site (O’Gradaigh & Crisp, 2012). The calcaneus in a child under sixteen years contains a growth plate posteriorly. This is the section where the Achilles tendon inserts on the calcaneus. Around sixteen years of age, the growth plate ossifies onto the calcaneum. Sever’s disease is the disturbance or micro trauma in this growth area. Calcaneal apophysitis is more common in individuals who participate in active sport. It is a traction apophysitis of the Achilles tendon insertion at the calcaneus and is one of the most common causes of heel pain in children (Micheli & Ireland, 1987). The condition can occur in both sexes and usually resolves once bone growth has ceased. Children are usually in an active growth spurt during which time the Calcaneal apophysitis (Ogden et al, 2004) causes pain. It is thought that the long bones growth exceeds the musculature growth (posterior muscle compartment), causing pulling on the calcaneal muscle attachment. However Michelli & Ireland (1987) suggest the exact aetiology is undetermined and that it is thought to be a repetitive...

...How to Cure Bowed Legs Naturally By Amanda On February 12, 2012 · 13 Comments · In Beauty Life, Body My bowed legs are an all-time eyesore. I can’t wear mini-skirts (not that I want). I can’t wear ankle boots (for they draw attention to my legs). I can’t even wear shorts. I have to forbid myself from wearing this or that kind of clothing for the fear that it may draw unnecessary attention to my legs. Poor me… If this scenario looks familiar to you, I’ve got a solution! Knowing that it’s never a long-term solution for me to hide or disguise my bowed legs, I did a search online to find out what natural methods can be used to cure them so I can forget about it once and for all. And voila, I’m exhilarated to tell you: I’ve found it! This method is super easy and won’t cost you anything. All it takes is a little of time and patience. Don’t believe? Read on. 8 Steps to Get Rid of Bowed Legs First, find a strip of space in your home where you can walk straight for eight steps. I do this exercise in my sitting room. The space is not as long as I want, but enough to get the job done. Next, stand in a natural position. Hands rest on your sides. Keep your legs close to each other. Finally, imagine there is a straight line on the floor and walk backward along that line for eight steps. And in no time, you are done! Easy enough, huh? However, bear in mind a few things while you are at it: 1. Make sure you are retreating in a straight line. No curve. 2. Keep your strides big...

...HUMAN GAIT ANALYSIS Abstract: Sensible Shoes is a hands-free and eyes-free foot-computer interface that supports on-the-go interaction with surrounding environments. We recognize different low-level activities by measuring the user’s continuous weight distribution over the feet with twelve Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) sensors embedded in the insoles of shoes. Using the sensor data as inputs, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier identifies up to eighteen mobile activities and a four-directional foot control gesture at approximately 98% accuracy. By understanding user’s present activities and foot gestures, this system offers a nonintrusive and always-available input method. We present the design and implementation of our system and several proof-of-concept applications. Overview: A person’s weight is not allocated symmetrically over the plantar. As the sole is not flat but arched, the weight mainly centers on the hallex, the first metatarse and the calcaneus. When sitting, the weight of a person’s upper body rest mostly on the chair and the weight on the feet is relatively small. When standing, the whole body’s weight is put evenly on both feet. Leaning left or right changes the weight distribution over the feet. When walking, the weight distribution changes with the pace; the weight on the front and rear part of the foot alternately increases and decreases because not all parts of the sole contact the ground at once. The changes in weight distribution on the feet...
