Understanding Mediolateral Stability During Gait in Persons with Early-Stage Multiple Sclerosis
… gait is highly dependent on stability in the mediolateral (M-L) direction. It is currently unknown how M-L stability is affected in those with low levels of disability due to MS. The objective of this multiple case series was to explore how M-L stability during gait is affected in persons with …

Evaluation of image receptor angulation during mediolateral oblique positioning for optimised pressure and area distribution in mammography
BackgroundMammography is the gold standard diagnostic tool for the screening and diagnosis of breast cancer; however, it is associated with pain and discomfort. The pain and discomfort are mostly due to positioning and the compression applied during the procedure. Currently there are variations in …

Mechanical Comparison of a Type II External Skeletal Fixator and Locking Compression Plate in a Fracture Gap Model
… compression plate (LCP) in axial compression, mediolateral, and craniocaudal bending in a fracture gap model. The hypothesis was that the Type II ESF would demonstrate comparable stiffness to the LCP. A bone simulant consisting of short fiber reinforced epoxy cylinders and a 40 mm fracture gap …

Impact of Spasticity on Balance Control During Quiet Standing in Persons Post-Stroke
… These effects were predominantly in the mediolateral direction (vision by group interaction effects p= 0.033, p= 0.037, and p= 0.015 respectively). Main effect of group revealed that individuals with high spasticity had higher mediolateral mean power frequency measures (p= 0.045). …

Kinematics of the equine axial skeleton during aqua-treadmill exercise
… displacement amplitudes, both vertical and mediolateral, for statistical testing. Pitch and roll data from the inertial sensors was also extracted and processed for analysis. Data were processed using custom written scripts (Matlab®) and repeated measures ANOVAs were performed throughout to …

CBCT Analysis of the Pharynx: Effects of Age and Sex
… cross-sectional areas, and anteroposterior and mediolateral dimensions. Analysis of covariance was used to test for sex and age effects (range: 5 to 81 years). Age changes are interpreted with caution since the data are cross-sectional. <strong>Results</strong>: Sexual dimorphism (M > F) …

Predictive balance control during backward walking and effects of a haptic input based intervention on predictive balance control during walking
… were significantly reduced, and step width and mediolateral margin of stability were significantly increased during backward walking compared to forward walking. Backward walking was also significantly more variable compared to forward walking. Step length, step width, and anteroposterior and …

Sensory re-weighting for balance control and the effects of ankle foot orthoses and stance width: A comparison of people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and healthy participants
… risk of falls. In an attempt to stabilise in the mediolateral direction, people with DPN frequently walk with a wider base of support and stand with a larger stance width. This is often seen in the elderly and is not always beneficial for stability contributing to falls risk. Standing balance …

Emotional, cognitive, and postural adaptations to repeated postural threat exposure
… of a temporally and directionally unpredictable mediolateral support surface translation during quiet standing. Regardless of age, participants were more anxious, reported broad changes in attention focus, and increased centre of pressure (COP) amplitude and frequency with first threat exposure. …

Morphometrische Untersuchungen zur altersabhängigen Variation des Femurs
… steigendem Alter tendenziell von sagittal nach mediolateral. Die Anpassung der Femora an die Richtung der größten Biegebelastung ist beim weiblichen Geschlecht schärfer als beim männlichen. Beim weiblichen Geschlecht nehmen die Flächen der Femurquerschnitte und der Markhöhlen im Alter zu, …

CORRELATION OF MONSON’S SPHERE AND SOME OTHER DENTOFACIAL VARIABLES TO TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINTS (TMJs) IN THE CHINESE POPULATION
… Bonwill’s Angle, Overbite, Overjet, the angle of mediolateral axes of two condyles and the distance between the two condyles. Materials and methods: CT (Computed Tomography) DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) data of 54 Chinese patients were collected, including 43 females and …

Squat exercise biomechanics during short-radius centrifugation
… activity. We investigated the Coriolis-induced mediolateral knee perturbations and the sensory-motor after-effects from a multiple repetition protocol. The upright and centrifuge biomechanics were compared for similarities and differences between them. In addition, a two-dimensional kinematic …

HAPTIC AND EXOSKELETON DEVICES FOR NEUROREHABILITATION OF UPPER LIMB PARALYSIS: A STATE OF ART AND A NIGHT LANDING TASK
… aided featureless night landing along the mediolateral direction. However, this benefit was less evident in a featured condition suggesting that participants were relying on visual cues during the task. This confirms previous findings related to night landing that the BHI is due to the fact …

Densitometric Comparison of Autogenous Cancellous Bone Graft and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy in the Tibial Tuberosity Advancement Procedure in Dogs
… and TTA with no additional therapy (TTA-O). Mediolateral radiographs at 0, 4 and 8 weeks after surgery were evaluated to compare healing of the osteotomy gap via densitometry. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical analysis was used to compare the densitometric values between groups. …

Stability of the Shoulder Complex during Manual Exertions
… that the force exertions performed in the mediolateral direction are more strenuous than the other directions. The proposed stress index could potentially have application in the occupational setting for the assessment of forceful arm exertions that may increase the risk of shoulder MSDs.

Subtrochlear sclerosis evaluation for medial coronoid disease detection and dynamic distal ulnar ostectomy for reduction of disease progression in Labrador retriever puppies
… for the study. Materials and methods Extended mediolateral radiographs were evaluated for STS by means of a subjective (score 0-3), as well as semi-quantitative and objective grading scores, given as a percentage of an STS region of interest compared to normal ulna medulla. Evaluations were …

The Effects of Subconcussive Impacts on Postural Stability
… for left leg stance in both groups and in the mediolateral direction for double leg stance in SUBC over time. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> The results of this study show no deficits across a single athletic season. However, caution should still be taken as there is literature supporting …

AGING-RELATED DECREMENTS DURING THE ACTIVITIES OF THE TIMED UP AND GO TEST WHEN COMBINED WITH MOTOR TASK AND VISUAL STIMULATION
… peak trunk velocity (PTV) (i.e. around the mediolateral, vertical, and anteroposterior axes); acceleration range and jerk of sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit; and multitask cost. Multitask cost reflects the change in the motor behavior that occurs due to high attentional demanding conditions, …
