We are left with predicting reference values, establishing some type of lower limit of normal and calling patients with measured values outside the limits "abnormal". If limits are set using 95th percentile or 95% confidence limits, we arbitrarily choose to classify 5% of healthy people as ...

Quality of life studies assess the physical condition, as poor physical condition can limit daily mobility and the ability to move and work. One of the main causes of limitations in daily mobility might be the physical losses that occur with increasing age, which results in reduced muscle force...
One factor that could limit limb blood flow during exercise is a loss of vasodilatory capacity (as measured by peak blood flow or conductance following reactive hyperemia). Casiglia et al (1998) reported that peak hyperemic calf blood flow (CBF) was not significantly different in patients with...
1. Loose: "wiggle room" from start of slack to end of slack 2. Empty: NOT lack of end feel, PROM is stopped due to pain 3. Adhesion(Firm): feels like a capsular end feel, but must stop sooner than normal 4. Springy: internal derangement (think tennis ball in door frame) ...
Therefore, TLC/S estimates of the Kebara 2 and Tabun 1 individuals were (on average) statistically larger than their corresponding modern human samples (Fig. 2). The ATD6 TLC/S ratio, estimated using rib 7, was larger than the female average but at the upper limit of the 95% CI, ...
