Biblical Integration in Anatomy and Physiology: A Design Approach (Elizabeth A. Sled) Answers Research Journal (2018)

We have been created fearfully and wonderfully by our Creator God, and the human body showcases God’s intricate design. Design features are evident in the structures and functions of each of the body systems. In ...

Does Choice of Angular Velocity Affect Pain Level During Isokinetic Strength Testing of Knee Osteoarthritis Patients? (S Almosnino, SCE Brandon and EA Sled) European Journal of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine (2012)

Reliability of Lower Limb Alignment Measures Using an Established Landmark-based Method with a Customized Computer Software Program (EA Sled, LM Sheehy, DT Felson, et al.) Rheumatology International (2011)

The objective of the study was to evaluate the reliability of frontal plane lower limb alignment measures using a landmark-based method by (1) comparing inter- and intra-reader reliability between measurements of alignment obtained manually with ...

A Biomechanical Analysis of Trunk and Pelvis Motion During Gait in Subjects with Knee Osteoarthritis Compared to Control Subjects (HS Linley, EA Sled, EG Culham, et al.) Clinical Biomechanics (2010)

Trunk lean over the stance limb during gait has been linked to a reduction in the knee adduction moment, which is associated with joint loading. We examined differences in knee adduction moments and frontal plane ...

Home Program of Hip Abductor Exercises: Effect on Knee Joint Loading, Strength, Function and Pain in Persons with Knee Osteoarthritis (Elizabeth A. Sled, Latif Khoja, Kevin J. Deluzio, et al.) Physical Therapy (2010)

Background Hip abductor muscle weakness may result in impaired frontal-plane pelvic control during gait, leading to greater medial compartment loading in people with knee osteoarthritis (OA). Objective This study investigated the effect of an 8-week ...

Spectral Analysis of Knee Isokinetic Extension Curves of Osteoarthritic Patients (Sivan Almosnino, Elizabeth A. Sled, Patrick A. Costigan, et al.) Isokinetics and Exercise Science (2010)

Isokinetic assessment of knee extensors muscle group function in patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis has exclusively been achieved using time-domain based variables. While useful, these analyses do not quantify the conspicuously irregular moment-time pattern exhibited ...

Optimizing Limb Position for Measuring Knee Anatomical Axis Alignment from Standing Knee Radiographs (T. Derek V. Cooke and Elizabeth A. Sled) Journal of Rheumatology (2009)

Frontal Plane Knee Alignment: A Call for Standardized Measurement (T. Derek V. Cooke, Elizabeth A. Sled and R. Allan Scudamore) Journal of Rheumatology (2007)

Evaluations of knee alignment are useful in the diagnosis of arthritic conditions affecting the knee joint, serving also as a guide for conservative management and surgical planning. They are also fundamental to various aspects of ...
