Full textThirteen patients seen at Red Cross Children's and Maitland Cottage hospitals have under gone complex treatment for the significant deformities caused by meningococcal septicaemia. These patients underwent 62 surgical procedures between them. These procedures were directed at the treatment of sequelae of growth arrest alone and excluded amputations, contracture releases, skin grafts and flaps. The extent of the surgical problems caused by this disease brought about the realisation that a thorough review of the literature and follow up of these patients was required. This would hopefully be of use in assessing the outcomes of various surgical treatment options employed and in developing guidelines for the future management of physeal arrest in these patients.

Full textAbstract
Introduction
Wedged shoe insoles are used as a treatment for different problems in order to change the ground reaction force. They can secondary cause different loading patterns under the foot compared to normal. No previous study has, to the author’s knowledge, clinically evaluated the plantar foot pressure with different full-length wedges in normal persons.
Purpose
The purpose was to evaluate the plantar pressure with different degrees of full-length wedges in normal persons.
Method
Twenty persons with normal feet have participated in this single blind study. Wedges were produced clinically in four different shapes, 3° valgus, 0° flat, 3° varus och 6° varus. The test persons were told to walk with the wedges in their comfortable pace in a randomized order. The plantar pressure was measured in the medial and lateral heel as well as in the first and fifth metatarsal head.
Results
The results show significant increased mean pressure for varus wedges compared to flat as well as valgus wedges, in the area of the medial heel and first metatarsal joint. Also, valgus wedges show significant increased mean pressure compared to flat condition in area of the medial heel. There is no correlation between wedge height and mean pressure for any of the wedge conditions.
Conclusion
Treatment with wedges leads secondary to increased mean pressure for varus wedges compared to flat as well as valgus wedges, in medial heel and first metatarsal joint. Furthermore, valgus wedges show increased mean pressure compared to flat condition in medial heel. Patients sensitive to high plantar pressures in these areas should be treated with caution. Further studies are recommended.

Full textDuring rehabilitation, it is important to know if and when the muscles in the injured area have regained their strength. Regarding shoulder injuries, there is currently no established method of measuring muscle strength. In the methods tested, certain attributes are undesirable. Therefore, Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset, Huddinge is looking into developing a new, improved method. In this method, one should be able to measure a patient's muscle strength and study the difference in measurements over time. The maximum muscle strength and the muscle strength at 45 ° of abduction and flexion is of interest. The project is to produce a prototype that can be used according to the new method and see if the prototype is appropriate. A test group consisting of both healthy and shoulder injured patients performed tests regarding the prototype accuracy of angular measurement, prototype usability and appropriate angle for maximum muscle strength in the shoulder. The result showed that the prototype accuracy was within the approved range of the method. Usability was also approved as all test subjects could use the prototype within the limits we set. We did not see an overall trend in which maximum muscle force in the shoulder were obtained at 45 °. For further work and increased validity, further studies with larger test groups is required

Full textBakgrund Stress och utbrändhet inom sjukvården är ett globalt förekommande problem som fått mycket uppmärksamhet inom både medier och forskningsvärlden. Stressen kommer delvis från en hög arbetsbörda och emotionella påfrestningar, men även etiska och moraliska faktorer kan ge upphov till samvetsstress som i värsta fall kan leda till utbrändhet. Syfte Det finns en brist på studier om ortopedingenjörers upplevelse av stress. Genom att använda den validerade enkäten Stress of Conscience Questionnaire (SCQ) är syftet att ta reda på nivån av stress hos legitimerade ortopedingenjörer i Sverige. Metod En webenkät med instrumentet SCQ skickades ut till ortopedingenjörer i Sverige och svaren sammanställdes med SPSS. Resultat 68 personer svarade på enkäten. De situationer som orsakar högst samvetsstress för ortopedingenjörer var då man inte upplevde tillräcklig tid till att ge god vård, då man utsätts för oförenliga krav i sitt arbete och då ens arbete är så krävande att man inte orkar ägna sig åt sina närmaste. Slutsatser Dessa resultat speglar resultat från studier gjorda på andra sjukvårdsyrken vilket skulle kunna betyda att samvetsstress är lika sannolikt inom ortopedingenjörsbranschen. En ökad förståelse för vad som orsakar stress för ortopedingenjörer kan genom vidare studier bidra till ett bättre vårdklimat för både kliniker och patienter. Nyckelord: samvete, stress, psykisk ohälsa, ortopedingenjörer

Full textSyfte: Att preliminär validera ett frågeformulär som utvecklades i denna studie. Frågeformuläret var utformat för att undersöka om patientens uppfattning om deras Boston korsett påverkar deras compliance på ett positivt eller negativt sätt. Bakgrund: Att genomgå korsettbehandling innebär många känslor för ungdomar med idiopatisk skolios. Att inte ha en "perfekt kropp" minskar kroppsbilden och självkänslan. Det är högst sannolikt att genom att förändra patienternas perspektiv på deras korsett till att tycka om utseendet på den; så ökar sannolikheten för compliance med positiva känslor. Metod: Mixed Metod användes för att utveckla och validera ett nytt frågeformulär. Utvecklingen och validering gjordes med hjälp av litteratur, expert- och patientgrupper. Kvalitativa data utvärderades och kvantitativa data analyserades med användning av Pearsons korrelationskoefficient och Cronbach alpha. Resultat: Ett preliminärt validerat frågeformulär skapades. Gruppen som användes för validering var idiopatiska skoliospatienter, fyra pojkar och fyra tjejer, mellan 6 och 15 år gamla. Slutsats: Ytterligare validering av frågeformuläret krävs före användning i framtida studier. Preliminära resultat indikerar att patienter som tycker om hur de ser ut i deras korsett också följer compliance med positiva känslor

Full textTendon healing is a slow process and the tendon may not regain its initial mechanical properties after rupture. Mechanical stimuli have shown to have positive effect on tendon healing. This study is the first to investigate the effect of vibration stimuli on healing tendons. Vibration was also compared to treadmill running, which has previously been used for mechanical stimuli.63 female Sprauge-Dawley rats were used. A 3 mm segment was removed from the Achilles tendon and the tendon was left to heal. The animals were subjected to 15 min of daily exercise, vibration or treadmill running or acted as controls without exercise. The study was divided into three experiments. Experiment 1; the animals had full time cage activity and was randomized into running, vibration and control group. Experiment 2; the animals were unloaded and randomized into vibration, running and control group. There was also a control group with full time cage activity in experiment 2. Experiment 3; the animals were unloaded and randomized into vibration and placebo group. 14 days after surgery the animals were killed and mechanical testing of the Achilles tendons was performed. The results showed no significant difference between the groups in experiment 1. Experiment 2 showed that controls with full time cage activity had higher peak load, stiffness and cross sectional area than unloaded running, vibration and control groups. In experiment 3, there was no significant difference between vibration and placebo group. In conclusion, this study shows that vibration, as applied here, does not affect tendon healing.
