Overview of Advanced Functional Groups02:22

Overview of Advanced Functional Groups

29.2K

Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
Types of Advanced Functional Groups
The table below summarizes some of the major functional groups in organic chemistry.

Functional Groups

87.8K
Functional groups are a group of atoms with characteristic properties, which when linked to the carbon skeleton of a molecule, alter the properties of that molecule. For example, the presence of certain functional groups on a molecule will make them hydrophilic, whereas others will make them hydrophobic. These functional groups are an indispensable part of organic chemistry and important components of biological molecules, such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each...

Functionalism

2.5K
William James, John Dewey, and Charles Sanders Peirce were instrumental in founding functional psychology, which draws heavily from Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. This theory suggests that individual traits, including behaviors, are adapted to their environments through natural selection. At the heart of functionalism is the concept of adaptation, meaning that a trait enhances an individual's chances of survival and reproduction.

Mechanical Protein Functions01:58

Mechanical Protein Functions

5.5K
Proteins perform many mechanical functions in a cell. These proteins can be classified into two general categories- proteins that generate mechanical forces and proteins that are subjected to mechanical forces. Proteins providing mechanical support to the structure of the cell, such as keratin, are subjected to mechanical force, whereas proteins involved in cell movement and transport of molecules across cell membranes, such as an ion pump, are examples of generating mechanical force.

Structural Protein Function01:56

Structural Protein Function

29.8K
Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity.  In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Functional limitations in the lower extremity post-trauma present significant challenges.
  • Patient expectations are crucial in guiding treatment selection for foot and ankle impairments.
  • Traditional rehabilitation pathways may not suffice for all patients recovering from lower extremity trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a custom dynamic orthosis (CDO) coupled with an advanced rehabilitation program.
  • To assess outcomes in patients with lower extremity trauma who have plateaued after conventional treatments.
  • To explore the potential of novel bracing solutions for enhancing functional recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a custom dynamic orthosis (CDO) in conjunction with a specialized rehabilitation regimen.
  • Focused on patients with lower extremity functional limitations following trauma.
  • Included patients who had previously plateaued in their recovery with traditional rehabilitation.

Main Results:

  • The CDO and rehabilitation program demonstrated improved outcomes in patients with lower extremity trauma.
  • This approach showed success in heterogeneous patient populations who had not progressed with standard care.
  • Positive results were observed in individuals seeking a higher level of functional return.

Conclusions:

  • A custom dynamic orthosis (CDO) combined with advanced rehabilitation is a viable option for select patients with lower extremity trauma.
  • This integrated approach can help patients overcome plateaus in recovery.
  • Ongoing research aims to define optimal patient profiles and further enhance treatment effectiveness.
