Introduction The foot sole endures high magnitudes of pressure for sustained periods which results in transient but habitual cutaneous ischemia. Upon unloading, microvascular reactivity capillaries generates an influx blood flow (PORH: post-occlusive reactive hyperemia). Whether induced ischemia from loading the impacts mechanoreceptor sensitivity remains unknown. Methods Pressure was attained using a custom-built-loading device that applied load to whole right at 2 (15 or 50% body weight),...
Objectives: To describe the discharge process for patients with traumatic brain injury from a trauma hospital, and patient experience satisfaction care transition.Furthermore, to evaluate associations between quality of transition.Design: Prospective-retrospective observational study.Subjects/patients: Seventy-four admitted ward or intensive unit at referral hospital within 24 h injury.Methods: Baseline characteristics variables were extracted medical records.Patients interviewed 6-months...
Long-term disabilities are common after traumatic brain injury.Consequently, many patients need healthcare services following injury.This study followed 97 individuals with injury until 10 years injury, and found that the use of physical therapy, occupational therapy speech decreased substantially over time.Approximately 1 in 6 used at years, whereas was much lower.Higher associated more severe female sex, being employed before injury.The low level service might indicate unmet needs this...
ABSTRACT Amongst tetrapods, mechanoreceptors on the feet establish a sense of body placement and help to facilitate posture biomechanics. Mechanoreceptors are necessary for stabilizing while navigating through changing terrains or responding sudden change in mass orientation. Lizards such as leopard gecko (Eublepharis macularius) employ autotomy – voluntary detachment portion tail escape predation. Tail represents natural form significant (and localized) loss. Semmes–Weinstein monofilaments...
ABSTRACT Background Foot sole plantar pressure generates transient but habitual cutaneous ischemia, which is even more exacerbated in atypical gait patterns. Thus, adequate post‐occlusive reactive hyperaemia (PORH) necessary to maintain skin health. Plantar regional variance during daily tasks potentially region‐specific PORH, crucial for ischemic defence. Aims The current work investigated PORH across the human foot resulting from stance‐like loading. Materials & Methods A loading...
Cutaneous input is important in postural control and balance. Aging diabetes impair skin sensitivity motor control. Heat application can improve sensation, but its influence on remains unknown. This study investigated the effects of heating foot sole lower limb cutaneous reflexes. Reflexes were evoked tibialis anterior muscle 20 young, healthy adults before after to a maximum 42°C. While holding 15% root mean square EMG generated during isometric dorsiflexion, filtered white noise (0-50 Hz)...
To determine how heating affects dynamic joint position sense at the knee, participants (n = 11; F 6) were seated in a HUMAC NORM dynamometer. The leg was passively moved through extension and flexion, indicated when 90° reference perceived, both baseline (28.74 ± 2.43 °C) heated (38.05 0.16 skin temperatures. Day 2 of testing reduced knee feedback with lidocaine. Directional error (actual angle-target angle) absolute (AE) calculated. Heating AE (baseline 5.46 2.39°, heat 4.10 1.97°), but...
Purkinje cells of the cerebellum have a complex arborized arrangement dendrites and are among most distinctive cell types nervous system. Although neuromorphology has been well described for some mammals teleost fish, vertebrates less is known. Here we used modified Golgi-Cox method to investigate from lizard Eublepharis macularius, leopard gecko. Using Sholl Branch Structure Analyses, sought whether gecko was altered in response tail loss regeneration. Tail an evolved mechanism commonly by...
