In the present study, pre-operative co-morbidity was not reported sufficiently often, but initial speed had a positive regression on post-operative speed, again, however, without significance.
Pre-operative speeds were 29.8 ± 1.0 cm/sec; at Day 5 post-operation, sham animals walked at 34.9 ± 2.1 cm/sec, NP alone animals walked at 32.6 ± 1.5 cm/sec, and animals with NP and sTNFRII walked at 39.0 ± 1.8 cm/sec (mean ± standard error).
Confining the operative angular speed of the rotor in the range of adhesive contact between the dry friction surfaces, no significant increase of power dissipation or heat production has to be ascribed as a whole to this type of suspension system, whose task is just to suppress the resonant peaks when passing the critical speeds.
Time was found to be a significant predictor of short-term functional recovery, but many potential predictors of post-operative walking speed were not mentioned often enough in the studies analyzed.
Full English reports were included of studies on knee osteoarthritis patients who underwent knee arthroplasty, with mean values and standard-deviations of pre- and post-operative walking speed.
Still, reliable meta-analytic information on pre-operative walking speed in osteoarthritis patients vs. their healthy peers will be necessary to further evaluate the above suggestion of "normalization".
This may reduce the post-operative haemarthrosis, speed up recovery, and even minimise adhesions between the capsule and the osteochondroplasty region, but supportive data are not available.
In the first five months post-operatively, between-study heterogeneity was high, and we performed univariate meta-regressions of post-operative time (months), age (years), distance walked (m), UKA vs. TKA (1 vs. 0), gender (% male), BMI, and pre-operative walking speed (m/s).
Halsted was a consummately brilliant and flashy surgeon who had captained the Yale football team and then gone on to medical training in New York, where he soon established a reputation not only for his operative skills and speed but for the outgoing personality that distinguished him as a bon vivant and hail-fellow-well-met.
Speed is another operative element in the novel; speed — "an acute case of the present tense" — and its necessary correlative, time.
Co-operative system measure: Speed alert based on digital maps that contain legal speed limits, environmental input by electronic beacons.
