1. Balance and fuNctional mobility of individuals with knee osteoarthrosis with and without history of falls / Equilíbrio e mobilidade funcional em portadores de osteoartrose de joelho com e sem histórico de queda
INTRODUCTION: Individuals with knee osteoarthrosis show strength reduction and activation of the quadriceps muscle, proprioception deficit, decrease in mobility, episodic pain and decrease in coordination, when associated with the natural physiological changes related to the aging process may favor the occurrence of postural balance disturbance during the da

3. Estudo biomecânico de duas técnicas extra-capsulares para estabilização do joelho com ruptura do ligamento cruzado cranial em cães / Biomechanical study of two extra capsular techniques for stabilization of the knee with cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs
Knee instability resulting from an insufficient cranial cruciate ligament is the major cause of hind limb lameness in dogs. This instability can result in osteoarthrosis and medial meniscal injury. Many surgical techniques have been developed to restore knee stability and to reduce degenerative joint desease. There is a similarly huge variability in material

4. Occurrence of symptomatic knee osteoarthrosis in rural Finland: a prospective follow up study.
All visits to physicians in the Orivesi Region Federation of Municipalities for Public Health Work in Finland paid due to symptomatic osteoarthrosis of the knee joint were prospectively recorded over a period of one year. Two hundred and thirty four visits were made, accounting for 0.63% of all visits. The prevalence of knee osteoarthrosis was 1.11% (men 0.4

6. The knees and ankles in sport and veteran military parachutists.
112 actively parachuting sport (free fall) parachutists with more than 200 descents each and 109 veteran military parachutists no longer active returned a postal questionnaire about their parachuting activities, injuries, and current and past musculoskeletal symptoms. A high frequency of fractures and injuries was reported by each group, both in relation to

7. Diflunisal in osteoarthrosis of the hip and knee.
Diflunisal (750 mg per day) has been compared with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) (3000 mg per day) in the treatment of osteoarthrosis of the hip and knee in a double-blind, randomised, multicentre, outpatient study. Thirty-one patients entered the diflunisal group and 29 the ASA group. The response of the 2 groups was comparable, but the incidence of side effec

10. Clinical and radiological survey of the incidence of osteoarthrosis among obese patients.
Twenty-five grossly obese males were investigated for evidence of osteoarthrosis. A roentgenological survey of multiple joints obtained from 22 of these patients showed few significant degenerative changes. 6 patients (20%) had previously incurred traumatic rents in their menisci necessitating meniscectomy. Our results refute previous claims that obesity is

11. Naproxen in osteoarthrosis. Double-blind crossover trial.
In this double-blind crossover trial, naproxen (750 mg/day) was compared to placebo for the treatment of osteoarthrosis of the hip and knee. Patients were randomly assigned to treatment with either naproxen or placebo for 4 weeks and then to treatment with the alternate agent for a second 4-week period. 8 out of 9 objective and subjective measurements of dru

12. Hypertension in relation to musculoskeletal disorders.
Generalized osteoarthrosis was found to be significantly more common in older males with high than with low diastolic blood pressure. The excess of osteoarthrosis in those with hypertension was mainly in the hips, knees, carpometacarpal and metacarpophalangeal joints, and was independent of obesity in the hypertensive group. It was not associated with a high
