Pain was markedly reduced, grip strength improved, and functional wrist mobility was preserved.
Decorin-deficient mice have fragile skin with markedly reduced tensile strength.
Distinctive clinical features of moderate to severe isolated PFJOA included a history of dramatic swelling, valgus deformity, markedly reduced quadriceps strength, and pain on patellofemoral joint compression.
In addition, we found a history of previous dramatic swelling ("came up like a balloon"), markedly reduced quadriceps strength and pain on patellofemoral joint compression were informative indicators of moderate to severe isolated patellofemoral joint OA.
< 141mmHg While there is little to distinguish mild isolated patellofemoral joint OA from simple knee pain, moderate to severe isolated patellofemoral joint OA is indicated by a history of dramatic swelling in the past, valgus malalignment, markedly reduced quadriceps strength and pain on patellofemoral joint compression.
By contrast, a recalled episode of dramatic swelling in the past, intermalleolar gap > 0 cm (valgus malalignment), markedly reduced knee extensor strength, and pain on PFJ compression appeared to indicate patellofemoral joint disease.
Hip OA is associated with markedly reduced lower limb muscle strength [ 10].
The signal-to-noise ratio and spectral resolution are markedly reduced in magnetic field strengths lower than 3 Tesla.
Howard Archer, an analyst at consultancy IHS Global Insight, said: "It does appear that the recent falling back in oil prices and sterling's strength has markedly reduced the MPC's perceived need to tighten monetary policy in the near term".
Both elbow flexion and extension strength were markedly reduced in our patients (usually with > 50% reduction).
The results showed that after exposed to high temperature, the compressive strength and thermal conductivity of both ordinary concrete and fly ash concrete were markedly reduced, and when the specimens were subjected to 550 °C, the compressive strength reduced about 26%.
