Hip fracture is an important cause of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Current
methods of assessing a patient’s risk of hip fracture involve local estimates of bone density (…

Joint-position sense of the knee was measured in 29 subjects with normal knee joints
ranging in age from 20 to 82 years. Joint-position sense was determined by two common …

Proprioception was quantified in a group of patients who had documented complete ACL
tears. Threshold to detection of passive change in position of the knee was measured using a …

Composite materials, which can be very strong while having a low modulus of elasticity, are
being studied because such materials have potential to be made into isoelastic hip …

Joint proprioception in the human knee has been studied using two previously described
tests. Threshold of detection of slow, constant, passive motion and ability to reproduce angles …

Hip fracture related to osteoporosis and metastatic disease is a major cause of morbidity
and mortality. An accurate and precise method of predicting proximal femoral strength and …

Gait analysis in patients evaluates only a very limited part of human locomotion. According to
