Abstract To investigate the ability of ultrasonography to estimate muscle activity, we measured architectural parameters (pennation angles, fascicle lengths, and thickness) several human muscles (tibialis anterior, biceps brachii, brachialis, transversus abdominis, obliquus internus externus abdominis) during isometric contractions from 0 100% maximal voluntary contraction (MVC). Concurrently, electromyographic (EMG) activity was with surface anterior only) or fine‐wire electrodes. Most...
Due to their contribution modulation of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and stiffness the sacroiliac joints, pelvic floor muscles (PFM) have been argued provide a control lumbar spine pelvis. Furthermore, as IAP is modulated during respiration this likely be accompanied by changes in PFM activity.In order evaluate postural respiratory function PFM, recordings anal vaginal electromyographic activity (EMG) were made with surface electrodes single repetitive arm movements that challenge...
In Brief Study Design. Cohort study. Objective. To conduct a head-to-head comparison of the responsiveness pain, disability, and physical impairment measures in patients with low back pain. Summary Background Data. Pain, are routinely measured clinical practice research. However, to date, has not been performed. Methods. A numerical pain scale (0–10), 24-item 2 modified 18-item versions Roland Morris questionnaire, patient specific functional scale, were completed by 155 at baseline then...
Advice and exercise are widely recommended for subacute low back pain, but the effectiveness of these interventions is unclear.To investigate physiotherapist-prescribed exercise, advice, or both pain.Factorial randomized, placebo-controlled trial.7 university hospitals primary care clinics in Australia New Zealand.259 persons with pain (>6 weeks <3 months duration).Participants received 12 physiotherapist-directed sham sessions 3 advice over 6 weeks.Primary outcomes were average past week...
The increased demand for organs has led to the usage of "higher risk" kidney and liver grafts. These grafts from donation after circulatory death or expanded criteria donors are more susceptible preservation injury have a higher risk unfavorable outcomes. Dynamic, instead static, could allow organ optimization, offering platform viability assessment, active repair resuscitation. Ex situ machine perfusion in regional donor emerging as potential tools preserve resuscitate vulnerable...
Taping is often used to counter the proprioceptive deficit after joint injury such as ankle sprain. However, effect of taping on acuity at unclear, with conflicting findings.Application tape improves detection inversion and eversion movements ankle.Controlled laboratory study.The 70% threshold for movement was measured in 16 participants recurrent sprain under 2 conditions: taped or untaped. The examined 3 velocities (0.1 deg/s, 0.5 2.5 deg/s) directions (inversion eversion).Application...
The diagnosis of acute T cell-mediated rejection (aTCMR) after kidney transplantation has considerable relevance for research purposes. Its definition is primarily based on tubulointerstitial inflammation and changed little over time; aTCMR therefore a suitable parameter longitudinal data comparisons. In addition, because managed with antirejection therapies that carry additional risks, anxieties, costs, it clinically meaningful endpoint studies. This paper reviews the history...
