Sitting provides stability for tasks requiring visual and motor skills while being less energy consuming than standing. It places less stress on the lower extremities and lessens pressure on lower extremity circulation. When sitting, the main body weight is transferred to the seat, with some weight transferred to the floor, backrest, and armrests. Sitting erect with support for the sacrum decreases the compressive force on the lumbar discs compared to sitting in other positions such as relaxed without sacrum support, leaning forward, or leaning back. Proper desk and elbow height can also minimize shoulder muscle activity and stress on the body.Therabands & springs presentation

Body orientation and positioning can affect force production and contribution to the pedals in cycling. Sitting upright allows leg weight to contribute to force on the pedals during the power stroke. Reclining positions require overcoming lower limb weight when pedaling, resulting in less force. Inverted seating is more effective for pulling during recovery than pushing against gravity during the power stroke. Recumbent bicycles are less effective than upright for hill climbing as pedaling upwards works against lower limb weight during the power stroke, requiring more energy.Ambulation devices final

Posture refers to the alignment of the body parts when standing in a relaxed stance. Good posture involves training the body to stand, sit and lie in positions that place the least strain on supporting muscles and ligaments. There is no single definition of "normal" posture as everyone's body is different. Maintaining proper posture can help decrease joint stress and strain, prevent back pain, and contribute to a good appearance. Poor posture is corrected through exercises and therapies that realign the body and strengthen weak muscles. Daily posture exercises can help reinforce good habits and balance.Posture

Introduction: The Emergence of Bioresorbable Solutions in Cardiovascular Care
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and with growing awareness, technological innovation has become the backbone of modern cardiology. One such innovation making significant strides is the bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) a next-generation alternative to traditional metallic stents used in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). Designed to temporarily support the vessel and gradually dissolve, BVS devices restore natural vessel function without leaving a permanent implant.
Technological progress has been instrumental in addressing early challenges associated with these scaffolds, such as limited radial strength and late thrombosis. This article delves into the cutting-edge advancements transforming BVS and how these developments are improving patient outcomes and expanding clinical adoption.
The global bioresorbable vascular scaffold market size is estimated to be valued at US$ 592.8 Million by 2032 from US$ 314.4 Million in 2025. It is expected to register a CAGR of 8.3% in the forecast period between 2025 and 2032.

Soft Tissue Injury/Handling in orthopedics.Dr. Prabhat Pandey

This presentation provides a comprehensive overview of soft tissue injuries commonly encountered in orthopedic practice. It covers the classification, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnostic approaches, and evidence-based management strategies for various soft tissue injuries, including compartment syndrome, fracture blisters, open fracture, Morel-Lavall辿e lesion etc .The content is designed to support medical students, orthopedic trainees, physiotherapists, and healthcare professionals in understanding the mechanisms of injury, treatment principles such as RICE and the importance of prevention in clinical practice.
In orthopedic trauma care, soft tissue management is as vital as the management of the skeletal injury itself. Often overshadowed by the dramatic presentation of fractures, soft tissue injuries profoundly influence prognosis, healing capacity, and surgical decision-making. As eloquently expressed by Gathorne Girdlestone:
Fracture is an injury to soft tissues in which you shall also find a broken bone.
The vascular and biological integrity of the soft tissue envelope determines whether the fracture site heals naturally, requires surgical intervention, or develops complications like infection, non-union, or necrosis. This presentation explores not only the pathophysiology and classifications of soft tissue injuries but also offers a practical assessment and management framework for clinicians.
A fracture is not just a bony eventit almost always represents underlying soft tissue trauma. The "zone of injury" around any fracture must be respected. This area often contains:
Muscle necrosis
Damaged microvasculature
Hidden contamination
Partial tendon tears or ligamentous damage
Neglecting this can lead to:
Infection
Nonunion
Soft tissue contracture
Compartment syndrome
Understanding this biomechanical interplay is crucial for interpreting injury severity, estimating healing potential, and customizing treatment plans. High-energy trauma such as RTAs or gunshot wounds causes widespread damage beyond what is visible, including deep muscular necrosis and occult vascular compromise.
The bone cannot heal in isolation. As the presentation emphasizes, soft tissue is the biological foundation upon which successful orthopedic outcomes rest. Whether in a rural trauma setting or a tertiary care surgical suite, meticulous attention to soft tissue injury:
Improves healing timelines
Reduces complication rates
Enhances functional outcomes
Saves limbsand sometimes lives
Soft tissue status is often the limiting factor in fracture healing.
Proper classification guides decision-making and prognosis.
Compartment syndrome is a limb-threatening emergency; recognize early!
Open fractures require urgent debridement and stabilization.
Use objective tools (e.g., MESS, GHOIS) for complex limb injuries.
Never underestimate edema or fracture blistersthey signal deeper damage.
Soft tissue management is not ancillary; it is fundamental.FSc MLT Federal Board | Unsolved Past Paper Elementary Anatomy & Microtechn...

Acetabular Labral Tears: Anatomy, Diagnosis, and ManagementDr. Prabhat Pandey

This detailed presentation by Dr. Prabhat Pandey (DNB Resident, Tata Main Hospital, Jamshedpur) provides a comprehensive overview of acetabular labral tears, covering their anatomical, biomechanical, and clinical implications. Beginning with the anatomy of the acetabular labruma fibrocartilaginous structure critical for hip joint stabilitythe presentation explains how its vascular and neural distribution contributes to both pain and poor healing potential when torn.
The pathophysiology of labral tears is discussed in the context of altered joint mechanics, loss of the labral seal, increased cartilage stress, and subsequent joint degeneration. The presentation classifies labral tears based on location, morphology, and etiology, highlighting causes such as trauma, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), and biomechanical imbalances.
Key clinical features are outlined, including chronic anterior hip or groin pain, mechanical symptoms like clicking and locking, and delayed diagnosisespecially in athletes and women. Diagnostic strategies include physical tests (e.g., FABER, McCarthy test, anterior impingement test), imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI, and MR arthrography), and diagnostic injections.
Management strategies range from conservative treatmentrest, anti-inflammatory drugs, and physiotherapyto surgical options, such as arthroscopic debridement and microfracture techniques. Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on early mobilization, DVT prophylaxis, and gradual return to function, tailored to reduce recurrence and promote joint preservation.
This presentation is an excellent educational resource for orthopedic residents, sports medicine practitioners, physiotherapists, and clinicians managing hip pathologies.Comprehensive Overview of Trauma Management and Emergency Care
