The rationale for this approach is that fibrotic changes in the peri-articular and intra-articular soft tissues hinder movement, and sometimes it is necessary to anesthetize patients to reduce muscle tone and protective reflex mechanisms so that the spine can be manipulated effectively. This maneuver ...
Joint and muscle pain (59.8%) and fatigue (53.9%) were prevalent. Before the diagnosis was made, general practitioners (80.2%) were commonly consulted, along with ophthalmologists (39.2%), ENT physicians (37.3%), neurologists (36.1%), and orthopedists (35.0%). Rheumatologists diagnosed the ...

Recording the electrical activity of the heart is what a test called electrocardiography (ECG) does. When traveling through the heart muscle, electrical signals reveal crucial information about the timing and strength of cardiac activity. The detection of abnormal heart rhy...
Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have identified a number of well-established risk factors for falls: advanced age, female gender, gait and balance deficits, muscle weakness, low walking speed, dizziness and vertigo, mobility limitations and the use of assistive devices, living alone, pain, fun...
