Abstract:
Flat foot is the longitudinal curvature of the medial foot. In prosthetic orthotics, flat foot is treatment using custom foot orthosis. Flat foot can be easily detected in children aged 8-12 years. From the results of early detection at SD Negeri 1 Gedongan, Colomadu, Karanganyar, 12 students had flat foot. So it is necessary to have education for the teachers and students to increase understanding of the use of custom foot orthosis in reducing the degree of flat foot in students. This activity was at SD Negeri 1 Gedongan, Colomadu, Karanganyar there are early detection of flat foot, educations, and intervention in the provision of custom foot orthosis for students who had flat foot from June to August 2022. Results: There was an increase in understanding of the use foot orthoses to reduce flat foot as evidenced by interactive discussions and evaluations with questions and answers to participants and an increased grade of flat foot students after 1 month of being given foot orthoses. Custom foot orthosis is given to students who detect flat foot to be used every day so that it provides benefits in reducing the degree of flat foot. It can help students be more comfortable in carrying out their daily activities because the curved arch can correct the condition of the arch. Implementation of the use of custom foot orthosis in reducing the degree of flat foot can help the community in dealing with flat foot in children.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flat foot has been reported as the most occurring clinical foot complication among pediatrics with more than 40% prevalence worldwide. This rate of prevalence is increasing by 21% to 57% in children aged 3-6 years respectively. Therefore, aim of this study is to determine the correlation between flexible flat foot and Q-angle among secondary school students by using Dennis method. METHODOLOGY This cross sectional study was conducted on 52 participants, aged 11-16 years. Screening of flat foot among participants was determined through navicular drop test. The jack toe rising test was also used to discriminate in flexible and rigid flat foot. The participants having flexible flat foot were then recruited and evaluated on Dennis method of flat foot grading. RESULTS The demographic characteristics of participants were represented through frequency, mean and standard deviation. Moreover, strong correlation between flat foot and Q-angle was observed on right side, whereas moderate correlation was detected on left side of flat foot respectively (p<0.05). CONCLUSION It was concluded that flexible flat foot has strong association with Q-angle. However, future studies must be taken in to consideration for further assessment of flat foot.

Abstract:
Introduction: aim of this study was to establish normality parameters and analyze 3D kinematic data before and after surgical correction of the pediatric flexible flat foot Materials and methods: study population was composed of 2 groups: 10 children (20 feet, 5M/5F)without any disorders of the foot were evaluated to obtain normal reference data; 20 children with bilateral flexible flatfoot candidate to bilateral surgical correction (40 feet, 13M/7F) The RFM -3D kinematics protocol was used. Clinical, radiographic and instrumental evaluation were performed preoperatively and at 12 months by the same surgeon An arthroereisis of the subtalar joint was performed by the same surgeon. Patients were divided in 3 groups:1:normality;2:before surgery;3: after surgery. For all the variables and for the three planes of the space comparison between groups were performed. Results: 3D rotational joint variables and planar angles were defined for normality, before and after sur-gery at the upright standing position. Differences were observed: hind foot , frontal plane; Chopart Joint ,transverse plane; Lisfanc Joint, frontal/transverse planes; ratio between 1rst and 2nd metatarsal, transverse plane; 2nd and 5th metatarsal versus ground respectively, sagittal plane; MLA, transverse plane Discussion/conclusions:: different variables, normalized after correction, suggest that surgery performed at the hind foot can also improves mid foot pronation, increases the medial longitudinal arch and im-proves ratio between metatarsal bones, allowing to quantify changes that clinical and radiological evaluation cannot provide. The pediatric foot is similar to the adults and pediatric flexible flat foot could be corrected surgically, even if painless.

Jalal, Pasha, and Jose Andres Perez. "Punching shear in concrete flat slabs supported on slender edge steel columns." Thesis, KTH, Betongbyggnad, 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-278546.

Full text
Abstract:
Punching shear is a failure mechanism caused by concentrated loads, creating a crack pattern that resembles a cone shape or piece of pie starting from the top surface of the slab and prolongs downwards. When the total shear force is greater than the shear resistance of the slab, it may eventually lead to punching shear failure. It can be visualized as the column punches through the slab. Punching shear is very brittle and occurs all of a sudden. It is believed that the slab is subjected to hogging moments over the column in both directions, i.e. parallel and perpendicular to the free edge. Non-linear finite element analyses (NLFEA) has been used to study the cracking and failure mechanism for the reinforced slab. It is a slab over the edge support without clamping stiffness, therefore simulating the slab shear mechanism over a slender steel column is carried out in this study. The analyses has been performed using the software ATENA 3D Engineering developed by Červenka Consulting. Since the symmetry has been taken into account over an edge column, only one half of the cross-section has been modeled, with a symmetry line passing vertically through the slab and column. It can be summarized that the failure encountered around the column has a conical shape crack pattern similar to the ones encountered when punching shear occurs. However, it is important to note that this failure is not due to classic punching shear, but instead due to shear cracks developing around the column in both directions, both parallel and perpendicular to the free-edge. Three models (C1, C2, and C3) are studied to evaluate the impact that the length of the lower leg of the c-bar reinforcement has during failure. As mentioned earlier above, the crack propagation during punching shear begins from the upper surface of the slab and prolongs downwards diagonally towards the bottom of the slab and adjacent to the column. However, the crack propagation in the strip perpendicular to the free edge in all three models initiate from the bottom and propagate upwards. It can be concluded that the length reduction of the lower leg of the c-bars as a consequence reduced the shear strength capacity of the slab around the steel-plate. The reason for this is due to a reduction in maximum peak load when the lower leg of the c-bars were reduced. Consequently, this leads to a decrease in shear strength capacity of the slab and an earlier failure, where the inner-span was not able to take additional loads which could have led to greater deflections.<br>Genomstansning är en brottmekanism orsakad av koncentrerade laster, vilket skapar ett sprickmönster i likhet med en konfrom ellet en bit av paj som börjar från den övre ytan av plattan och förlängs nedåt. När den totala skjuvkraften är större än skjuvmotståndet i plattan , kan det så småningom leda till ett genomstansningsbrott. Det kan visualiseras som att pelaren stansar eller slår igenom plattan. Genomstansning är ett mycket sprött brott och inträffar helt plötsligt. Det antas att plattan utsätts för negativt moment ovanför pelaren i båda riktningarna, d.v.s såväl parallellt som vinkelrät mot den fria kanten. Icke-linjära finita elementanalyser (NLFEA) har använts för att studera sprickbildnings och brottmekanismen för den förstärkta plattan. Det är en platta över kantstödet utan någon fast inspänd styvhet, därför simuleras skjuvmekanismen för plattan över en slank stålpelare i denna studie. Analyserna har utförts med programvaran ATENA 3D Engineering som utvecklats av Červenka Consulting. Eftersom hänsyn har tagits till symmetrin över en kantpelare har endast halva tvärsnittet modellerats, med en symmetrilinje som går vertikalt genom plattan och pelaren. Det kan sammanfattas att brottet som påträffas runt pelaren har en konisk form med ett sprickamönster som liknar de som påträffas vid genomstansning. Det är dock viktigt att notera att detta brott inte orsakats av klassisk genomstansning, utan istället på grund av skjuvsprickor som utvecklast runt pelaren i båda riktningarna, såväl parallellt som vinkelrät mot den fria kanten. Som det tidigare nämnts ovanför börjar sprickan vid genomstansning från plattans övre yta och förlängs nedåt diagonalt mot bottenplattan och intill pelaren. Sprickmönstret i remsan vinkelrät mot den fria kanten i alla tre modellerna (C1, C2 och C3) initierar dock från botten och sprids uppåt. Slutsatsen kan dras att längdminskningen av c-stängernas underben minskade skjuvhållfastheten hos betongplattan runt pelaren. Anledningen till detta beror på en minskning av maximal toppbelastning när c-stängernas underben reducerades. Följaktligen leder detta till en minskning av skjuvhållfastheten och ett tidigare brott, där den inre spännvidden inte kunda ta ytterligare belastningar som kunde ha lett till större nedböjningar.

Abstract:
Several surgically corrective procedures are considered to treat Adult Acquired Flatfoot Deformity (AAFD) patients, relieve pain, and restore function. Procedure selection is based on best practices and surgeon preference. Recent research created patient specific models of Adult Acquired Flatfoot Deformity (AAFD) to explore their predictive capabilities and examine effectiveness of the surgical procedure used to treat the deformity. The models’ behavior was governed solely by patient bodyweight, soft tissue constraints, and joint contact without the assumption of idealized joints. The current work expanded those models to determine if an alternate procedure would be more effective for the individual. These procedures included one hindfoot procedure, the Medializing Calcaneal Osteotomy (MCO), and one of three lateral column procedures: Evans osteotomy, Calcaneocuboid Distraction Arthrodesis (CCDA), Z osteotomy and the combination procedures MCO & Evans osteotomy, MCO & CCDA, and MCO & Z osteotomy all used in combination with a tendon transfer. The combination MCO & Evans and MCO & Z procedures were shown to provide the greatest amount of correction for both forefoot abduction and hindfoot valgus. However, these two procedures significantly increased the joint contact force, specifically at the calcaneocuboid joint, and ground reaction force along the lateral column. With exception to the lateral bands of the plantar fascia and middle spring ligament, the strain present in the plantar fascia, spring, and deltoid ligaments decreased after all procedures. The use of patient specific computational models provided the ability to investigate effects of alternate surgical corrections on restoring biomechanical function in flatfoot patients.

Abstract:
The use of computational modeling is an increasingly commonplace technique for the investigation of biomechanics in intact and pathological musculoskeletal systems. Moreover, given the robust and repeatable nature of computer simulation and the prevalence of software techniques for accurate 3-D reconstructions of tissues, the predictive power of these models has increased dramatically. However, there are no patient-specific kinematic models whose function is dictated solely by physiologic soft-tissue constraints, articular shape and contact, and without idealized joint approximations. Moreover, very few models have attempted to predict surgical effects combined with postoperative validation of those predictions. Given this, it is not surprising that the area of foot/ankle modeling has been especially underserved. Thus, we chose to investigate the pre- and postoperative kinematics of Adult Acquired Flatfoot Deformity (AAFD) across a cohort of clinically diagnosed sufferers. AAFD was chosen as it is a chronic and degenerative disease wherein degradation of soft-tissue supporters of the medial arch eventually cause gross malalignment in the mid- and hindfoot, along with significant pain and dysfunction. Also, while planar radiographs are still used to diagnose and stage the disease, it is widely acknowledged that these 2-D measures fail to fully describe the 3-D nature of AAFD. Thus, a population of six patient-specific rigid-body computational models was developed using the commercially available software packages Mimics® and SolidWorks® in order to investigate foot function in patients with diagnosed Stage IIb AAFD. Each model was created from patient-specific sub-millimeter MRI scans, loaded with body weight, individualized muscle forces, and ligament forces, in single leg stance. The predicted model kinematics were validated pre- and postoperatively using clinically utilized radiographic angle distance measures as well as plantar force distributions. The models were then further exploited to predict additional biomechanical parameters such as articular contact force and soft-tissue strain, as well as the effect of hypothetical surgical interventions. Subsequently, kinematic simulations demonstrated that the models were able to accurately predict foot/ankle motion in agreement with their respective patients. Additionally, changes in joint contact force and ligament strain observed across surgical states further elucidate the complex biomechanical underpinnings of foot and ankle function.

Abstract:
Le pied plat valgus dynamique idiopathique est une déformation touchant un grand nombre d’enfants. Il fait l’objet de la plupart des consultations d’orthopédie pédiatrique et donne communément lieu au port d’orthèses plantaires correctives. Le pied étant un segment dont l’architecture lui confère des propriétés de souplesse et de robustesse, une altération de sa structure, en particulier touchant à la forme de la voute plantaire, peut engendrer des modifications de la marche. Les atteintes de cette déformation sont au cœur de beaucoup d’études mais la littérature reste toujours parcellaire et centrée sur quelques variables mesurées sur le membre inférieur. En revanche, s’il est important d’évaluer la déformation localement, la marche reste une coordination de l’ensemble des segments corporels hautement hiérarchisée, dont l’évaluation de la performance nécessite des analyses plus globales. Le travail de cette thèse s’attachera à effectuer une caractérisation de l’effet de la présence d’un pied plat valgus dynamique sur la marche de l’enfant, mêlant des méthodes issues de la biomécanique classique, aux analyses de données et aus théories des systèmes dynamiques non linéaires.Les principaux résultats de ce travail concernent la multiplicité des atteintes biomécanique et les nombreuses modifications que le pied plat valgus dynamique engendre au niveau musculaire et cinématique sur le membre inférieur. Les mouvements intrinsèques du pied s’avèrent refléter particulièrement le défaut de maitrise de la marche à l’échelle du patient. Enfin, le pied s’avèrera jouer un rôle protecteur du centre de masse vis-à-vis du maintien de la stabilité dynamique lors de la marche<br>The pediatric flexible flat foot is a common deformation. It is the reason of most pediatric orthopedic consultations and commonly leads corrective foot orthotics prescription. The specific architecture of the normal foot gives it properties of adaptation, strength and flexibility. Any alteration of its structure, particularly related to the shape of the plantar arch can cause modifications in gait. A lot of studies investigated the effects of this deformation, but are generally centered on a small number of variables, only at the level of the lower limb. However, if the local deformation is important to assess, it is unlikely to represent the complex non-linear coordination of the whole body segments related to gait performance. This thesis aims at characterizing the effect of flexible flat foot on gait in children, from a biomechanical point of view at the lower limb level as well as at the global coordination level, using methods from classicla biomechanics, data analysis and non linear dynamical systems theories.The major outcomes of this work are the multiplicity of biomechanical effects and the numerous changes on muscles activities and kinematics of the lower limb caused by flexible flat foot. The intrinsic foot movements particularly reflect the lack of control of gait at the patient's level. The particular role of the trunk and contralateral leg regarding the specific locomotor pattern of patients will be detailed. Finally, the foot will appear to have a protective role of the center of mass concerning resistance to perturbations and maintaining gait dynamic stability

Abstract:
Abstract Adult neuropathic diabetic patients with acquired foot deformities such as flat foot and Charcot feet often develop plantar foot ulceration, leading to extended hospital procedures. These ulcerations are attributed to elevated plantar contact pressures (Ctercteko, 1981). A recent preventative means is to fit the patient with a custom made ankle-foot-orthosis (AFO) designed to reduce these pressures. Although effective, AFOs have poor patient compliance due to their high weight.

Abstract:
Dynamic modeling of a biped has gained lots of attention during past few decades. While stability and energy consumption were among the first issues which were considered by researchers, nowadays achieving maximum speed and improving pattern of motion to reach that speed are the important targets in this field. Walking model of bipeds usually includes two phases, single support phase (SSP), in which only the stance foot is in contact with the ground while the opposite leg is swinging; and double support phase (DSP) in which the swing leg is in contact with the ground in addition to the rear foot. It is common in the simplified model of walking to assume the stance leg foot, flat during the entire SSP; but one may know that for human walking, there is also a sub-phase during SSP in which the heel of stance foot leaves the ground while the whole body is supported by toe link. Actually in this sub phase the stance leg foot rotates around the toe joint. This paper is trying to study the effect of toe-link and heel to toe walking model on dynamic and specially speed of walking compare to flat foot model.

Abstract:
The University of Georgia Department of Geography’s Center for Geospatial Research (CGR), with the support of the National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory (VMI) Program, described and mapped vegetation at Fort Matanzas National Monument (FOMA). This mapping effort was accomplished through collaboration with the NPS Southeast Coast Network (SECN), the North Carolina office of NatureServe (Durham, N.C.), and Amec-Foster-Wheeler Environmental &amp; Infrastructure, Inc. A final vegetation map for Fort Matanzas NM was created to represent the vegetation occurring within the park during 2012. This product represents the final of four steps necessary to produce an accurate vegetation map based upon aerial photographs. This includes determining the community element global (CEGL) codes (2008) and acquisition of aerial imagery (2012), using the aerial imagery, with 21 ground truthing points (2014, 2015), to create a draft vegetation map, performing an accuracy assessment (2015), and then using all the available information to create a final vegetation map (2018). The total mapping area encompassed the entire boundary of the park plus an additional 500-meter (1,640-foot [ft]) buffered area. Because of the extensive past land use history, using the National Vegetation Classification System (NVCS) to the association level was challenging. Determining CEGL codes was particularly difficult because the National Vegetation Classification System was designed for relatively undisturbed vegetation communities. Through the use of eight NatureServe vegetation plots, color-infrared aerial photos, and data collected in the field, vegetation communities were delineated and assigned attributes. Using dominant vegetation classes and secondary vegetation classes, as well as modifiers to describe the diversity of species, detailed vegetation maps were created for Fort Matanzas NM. Polygons and attributes within the 500-meter (1,640-ft) buffer were created on a broader scale using a system based on the Anderson Level II classification scheme which includes anthropogenic and land use/land cover (LULC) classes. Within the park, the more detailed National Vegetation Classification System was used. The most common class found in Fort Matanzas NM is 7032—Maritime Live Oak Hammock, covering 38% of the park, followed by the combination class 39227 (3956—Saltwort—Woody Glasswort Dwarf—shrubland and 2278—Salt Flat—Woody Glasswort Type), covering almost 24% of the park. Non-NVCS classes cover 12% of the park, with the most dominate non-NVCS class being sand and covering 7% of the park. A rigorous accuracy assessment was conducted on the six map classes within the boundary of Fort Matanzas NM representing floristic types within the National Vegetation Classification System. Results showed a 70% map accuracy and a kappa rating of 62% using 40 accuracy assessment points. The products generated from this project include a vegetation map, a photointerpretation key, summary statistics of each vegetation class, and a detailed geodatabase with digital maps.

Full text
Abstract:
High Grain Protein Content (GPC) of wheat is important for improved nutritional value and industrial quality. However, selection for this trait is limited by our poor understanding of the genes involved in the accumulation of protein in the grain. A gene with a large effect on GPC was detected on the short arm of chromosome 6B in a Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides accession from Israel (DIC, hereafter). During the previous BARD project we constructed a half-million clones Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) library of tetraploid wheat including the high GPC allele from DIC and mapped the GPC-B1 locus within a 0.3-cM interval. Our long-term goal is to provide a better understanding of the genes controlling grain protein content in wheat. The specific objectives of the current project were to: (1) complete the positional cloning of the GPC-B1 candidate gene; (2) characterize the allelic variation and (3) expression profile of the candidate gene; and (4) validate this gene by using a transgenic RNAi approach to reduce the GPC transcript levels. To achieve these goals we constructed a 245-kb physical map of the GPC-B1 region. Tetraploid and hexaploid wheat lines carrying this 245-kb DIC segment showed delayed senescence and increased GPC and grain micronutrients. The complete sequencing of this region revealed five genes. A high-resolution genetic map, based on approximately 9,000 gametes and new molecular markers enabled us to delimit the GPC-B1 locus to a 7.4-kb region. Complete linkage of the 7.4-kb region with earlier senescence and increase in GPC, Zn, and Fe concentrations in the grain suggested that GPC-B1 is a single gene with multiple pleiotropic effects. The annotation of this 7.4-kb region identified a single gene, encoding a NAC transcription factor, designated as NAM-B1. Allelic variation studies demonstrated that the ancestral wild wheat allele encodes a functional NAC transcription factor whereas modern wheat varieties carry a non-functional NAM-B1 allele. Quantitative PCR showed that transcript levels for the multiple NAMhomologues were low in flag leaves prior to anthesis, after which their levels increased significantly towards grain maturity. Reduction in RNA levels of the multiple NAMhomologues by RNA interference delayed senescence by over three weeks and reduced wheat grain protein, Zn, and Fe content by over 30%. In the transgenic RNAi plants, residual N, Zn and Fe in the dry leaves was significantly higher than in the control plants, confirming a more efficient nutrient remobilization in the presence of higher levels of GPC. The multiple pleiotropic effects of NAM genes suggest a central role for these genes as transcriptional regulators of multiple processes during leaf senescence, including nutrient remobilization to the developing grain. The cloning of GPC-B1 provides a direct link between the regulation of senescence and nutrient remobilization and an entry point to characterize the genes regulating these two processes. This may contribute to their more efficient manipulation in crops and translate into food with enhanced nutritional value. The characterization of the GPC-B1 gene will have a significant impact on wheat production in many regions of the world and will open the door for the identification of additional genes involved in the accumulation of protein in the grain.
