Progression of ALTR may depend on length of device implantation, toxicity/immunogenicity of corrosion particles, implant design and alignment, patient co-morbidities, and host immune reactivity.
Spinal alignment in patients with DLS may resemble that of adult spinal deformity (ASD).
Reduced range of motion, prosthetic impingement, and joint dislocation can all result from misalignment of the acetabular component (i.e. cup alignment) in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty.
To quantify 3-dimensionally the anterior segment geometry, biometry, and lens position and alignment in patients before and after implantation of the Crystalens-AO (Bausch & Lomb, Rochester, NY) accommodating intraocular lens (A-IOL).
They therefore advised caution in the use of CTS for measurement of knee alignment in patients after TKR.
This study demonstrates that small-incision, minimal dissection inferior obliquus graded recessions are feasible and effective to improve ocular alignment in patients with strabismus sursoadductorius.
Using the probabilistic transitions between these states results in alignment of patients to the model and can account for the varying rates of progress.
Our study was different in that we were examining the alignment with patients as well, which is perhaps why alignment on at least one goal in our study was considerably lower.
If formal evidence-based practice considers alignment with patients' psychosocial and biomedical concerns as a central aim, then physiotherapists may need to develop strategies for eliciting and addressing them as part of an integrated package of care [ 31, 32].
There are also several proposed benefits from user participation in health care; extending services and making them more accessible, improving information [ 1], reducing medical errors, improving patient safety [ 2], improving the coordination of care in chronic diseases [ 20], improving clinical decision making [ 21], and improving alignment of patients' and physicians' goals and agendas [ 22].
