Species-Specific Immunoassay Aids Identification of Pathogen and Tracks Infectivity in Foot Infection.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The moment, a force applied at a distance, is responsible for movement and balance. A key component of the moment is the moment arm. The moment arms of nine muscles surrounding the ankle complex during motion in three planes, were studied. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Five cadaveric feet were mounted in a testing ...
