There were no differences in the muscle response amplitude between the acceleration and acoustic stimuli or between the two spine levels (p = 0.32) (Table 1). There were also no differences in the onset latencies between either stimulus types or recording levels (p = 0.41). There was however...
Osteoarthritis is usually confined to hips, knees, spine, and hands. Carrying around excessive weight aggravates osteoarthritis in the knees and hips, which bear weight. In fact, being overweight increases your risk of developing osteoarthritis. Regular physical activity may help reduce joint pain and...
The effect of wearing work boots on lumbar spine flexion. The unilateral muscle activity of the erector spinae muscles, hip extensors, knee extensors, ankle dorsiflexors and plantarflexors, along with joint articu... MA Blench - 《University of Ottawa》 被引量: 0发表: 1998年 The new PSI...
The neck, shoulders, hips and knees—areas that tend to lose elasticity and flexibility with age—are supported by the spine, so maintaining good posture is important. In recent years, chair yoga has become popular, because it helps even those who are not ideally mobile, stretch and build up...
A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled study was conducted in 2 tertiary care centers with spine units. We enrolled 50 patients (mean age 50 years; 46% women) with lumbar active discopathy on MRI and failure of medical treatment for more than 6 weeks. Participants were randomly ass...
It would be nearly impossible to exclude all subjects with spine lesions as many MS patients have cord pathology which is often missed in standard clinical spinal MRI [55]. Despite such limitations, with recent advances in disease modifying treatments, MS research has shifted focus to ...
The C7-C8 region of the spine is a critical contact point of the body as it effectively allows the upper body to freely slide/migrate upward or away from thoracic plate 406 during the elevation process to minimize thoracic compression. Thoracic compression is a leading cause of migration of ...
Median change in bone mineral density at the lumbar spine was 0.20 SD units over 12 months (range: 1.160.70, P = 0.007), and at the hip 0.10 SD units over 12 months (range 1.660.93, P = 0.24). There were 21 new fractures in 13 patients over the study period, with a vertebral ...
During the semi-squat lifting process, the EMG (electromyogram) signal of the vertical spine at L5/S1 was reduced by 30–48% and the metabolic cost of energy was reduced by 18% compared the situation of without EXO. (4) Conclusion: The exoskeleton joint output torque can change in an ...
A fast-spine, slower-sheath structure, for example, may already be introduced close to the black hole, and be related to an ergospheric-driven (Blandford-Znajek) jet surrounded by a disk-driven (Blandford-Payne) outflow, cf. ref. [127] for a review. As the jet continues to propagate,...
