Impact activities like running are known to elicit symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim this study was investigate and compare pelvic floor muscle activity in continent SUI women during at three different speeds thereby elucidate contraction characteristics the impact.Surface electromyographic (EMG) from muscles on a treadmill recorded with tripolar vaginal probe. EMG measured 10 s 7, 11, 15 km/h. Data 30 ms before 150 after heel-strike were parameterised time intervals ms....
Abnormal femoral torsion (FT) is increasingly recognized as an additional cause for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). It unknown if in-toeing of the foot a specific diagnostic sign increased FT in patients with symptomatic FAI. The aims this study were to determine: 1) prevalence and accuracy detect FT; 2) progression angle (FPA) tibial (TT) are different among abnormal 3) FPA correlates FT.A retrospective, institutional review board (IRB)-approved, controlled 85 (148 hips) FAI or hip...
The validity of predicting foot pronation occurring mainly at the midfoot by surrogate measures from rearfoot, like eversion excursion, is limited. dynamic navicular mobility in terms vertical drop (dNDrop) and medial drift (dNDrift) may be regarded as meaningful clinical indicators to represent overall function. This study aimed develop a minimal approach measure two parameters examine their intra- interday reliability during walking. markerset uses markers lateral caput 1st 5th...
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has also been attributed to a lower speed of contraction the pelvic floor muscles (PFM). Therefore, PFM assessment and training implement fast voluntary contractions (FVC). The purpose study was explore FVC regarding feasibility, on-/offset rate activity determination, as well differences between continent (CON) stress incontinent women.Fifty women were included examined by means EMG during rest, maximum (MVC), five FVC. MVC-peak used normalize EMG-data....
Aims Impact activity like running is associated with an increase in intra‐abdominal pressure which needs to be sufficiently countered by pelvic floor muscle (PFM) secure continence. The aim of this study was investigate and compare PFM kinematics continent incontinent women during running. Methos Three‐dimensional position orientation measured the electromagnetic tracking device trakSTAR™. One sensor attached vaginal probe a second one secured subjects’ skin at height sacral vertebrae....
Symptoms associated with pes planovalgus or flatfeet occur frequently, even though some people a flatfoot deformity remain asymptomatic. Pes is proposed to be foot/ankle pain and poor function. Concurrently, the multifactorial weakness of tibialis posterior muscle its tendon can lead flattening longitudinal arch foot. Those affected experience functional impairment pain. Less severe cases at an early stage are eligible for non-surgical treatment foot orthoses considered first line approach....
Abstract Introduction The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence during high‐impact activities is high. Enhanced comprehension pelvic floor muscle (PFM) displacement and activity clinically relevant for the development specific approaches in rehabilitation. aim study to investigate compare PFM between continent incontinent women jumps. Methods A cross‐sectional, exploratory design was applied drop jumps (DJ) countermovement (CMJ). assessed craniocaudal translation forward‐backward...
Background: Skin marker-based analysis of functional spinal movement is a promising method for quantifying longitudinal effects treatment interventions in patients with pathologies. However, observed day-to-day changes might not necessarily be due to intervention, but can result from errors related soft tissue artifacts, marker placement inaccuracies or biological variability. Research question: How reliable are skin marker-derived three-dimensional kinematics during activities between two...
During puberty, the biological maturity of children same chronological age differs. To generate equal opportunities for talent selection in youth sports, athlete’s should be considered. This is often assessed with a left hand and wrist radiography. Alternatively, ultrasound (US) could advantageous, especially by avoiding ionizing radiation. pilot study aimed to assess intrarater interrater reliability an experienced non-experienced examiner US-based examination knee 20 healthy females (10–17...
Abstract Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and manual tests remain the standard for diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Furthermore, passive knee displacement, also described as tibial translation (ATT), is used in order to make decisions about surgery or assess rehabilitation outcomes. Unfortunately, these are limited situations, their application stability loaded, weight-bearing positions missing. Therefore, a new device with high-performance sensors sensor...
Optimal neuromuscular control mechanisms are essential for preparing, maintaining, and restoring functional joint stability during jump landing to prevent ankle injuries. In subacute sprain patients, neither muscle activity nor kinematics has previously been assessed.To compare between patients healthy persons before the initial contact phase of a 25-cm single-leg jump.Case-control study.University hospital.Fifteen with grade I or II acute sprains were followed up after 4 weeks conservative...
Fear-avoidance beliefs, particularly the fear of lifting with a flexed spine, are associated reduced spinal motion during object lifting. Low back pain patients thereby also showed potentially clinically relevant changes in spatial distribution muscle activity, but it remains unknown whether such associations present pain-free individuals. This cross-sectional observational study investigated relationship between fear-avoidance beliefs and lumbar paraspinal activity individuals repetitive...
