MASS4D® As A Rehabilitative Tool of the Lower Limbs in Haemophilia
Severe haemophilia involves spontaneous bleeding within the musculoskeletal system and mucosal or cerebral hemorrhages at an early age. Hemophilic arthropathy is a long-term, debilitating consequence of repeated haemarthrosis in patients suffering from haemophilia.
Analysing Lower Limb Injuries in Firefighters
Firefighters perform a number of duties in hazardous environments for the purpose of preserving public safety; exposure to various physical and chemical hazards increases the risk of occupational injury in the firefighting profession.
The Biomechanical Implications of Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction (SIJD) is a common source of chronic low back pain which may be experienced by an individual while performing leaning-forward actions (such as lifting or bending) that move the centre of gravity anterior to the acetabular axis.
Compartment Syndrome of the Lower Limbs
Compartment syndrome refers to an elevation in interstitial pressure within a closed osteofascial compartment that can ultimately result in irrevocable peripheral nerve and muscle ischemia.
Treating Haglund’s Syndrome
Haglund’s syndrome refers to a posterosuperior calcaneal abnormality which is characterised by a bony prominence located anterior to the insertion of tendoachilles.
Understanding Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita
Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is an umbrella term used to refer to more than 300 rare congenital disorders characterised by non-progressive joint contractures and a normal sensory system.
MASS4D® as an Assistive Device for Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease refers to a complex neurodegenerative disease which is characterised by progressive gait impairments and postural disparities that significantly affect an individual’s quality of life.
MASS4D® Orthotics for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) refers to a heterogenous group of inflammatory arthritis occurring in children which leads to increased production of synovial fluid and effusion into affected joints. This causes decreased muscle strength and compromises bone health.
The Foot in Systemic Sclerosis
Systemic Sclerosis refers to a rheumatic disease which is marked by excessive production of collagen leading to microvascular and macrovascular dysfunction and fibrosis of the skin and internal organs.
