Two-point discrimination (2PD) is the ability to discern that two nearby objects touching the skin are truly two distinct points, not one.It is often tested with two sharp points during a neurological examination [1]: 632 [2]: 71 and is assumed to reflect how finely innervated an area of skin is.
Scoliosis is a three-dimensional spinal deformity requiring correction in all planes—coronal, sagittal, and axial—and EDF casting addresses these complex needs. By employing traction, the EDF method elongates the spine, derotates the vertebrae and pelvis, and improves lordosis and overall body alignment, significantly enhancing the patient ...
[2] [3] [4] Trigger thumb in children is also associated with trisomy of chromosome 13. [3] For these reasons it was assumed that trigger thumbs in children are to be of congenital cause. However, more and more evidence which point towards an acquired cause have been found in recent studies.
[2] After hip replacement , hip prosthesis zones are regions in the interface between prosthesis material and the surrounding bone. These are used as reference regions when describing for example complications including hip prosthesis loosening on medical imaging .
Altogether, those mutations cover 10% of the patients. The other 20% of affected people have mutations in MATN3 gene, all found within exon 2. The following testing regime has been recommended by the European Skeletal Dysplasia Network: [citation needed] Level 1: COMP (exons 10–15) and MATN3 (exon 2) Level 2: COMP (exons 8 & 9 and 16–19)
This is probably why the sensitivity of the three major knee exams is increased with general anesthesia. [2] Similarly, with meniscal involvement, such as a bucket handle tear of the medial meniscus, [ 3 ] range of motion may be limited and muscle guarding may produce a false negative result.
