متن کاملDecompression sickness during simulated extravehicular activity: ambulation vs. non-ambulation.
BACKGROUND Extravehicular activity (EVA) is required from the International Space Station on a regular basis. Because of the weightless environment during EVA, physical activity is performed using mostly upper-body movements since the lower body is anchored for stability. The adynamic model (restricted lower-body activity; non-ambulation) was designed to simulate this environment during earthbo...

متن کاملContinuous versus patient-controlled epidural analgesia for labour analgesia and their effects on maternal motor function and ambulation.

The aim of this single blind randomized controlled study was to evaluate the incidence of motor block and ability to perform partial knee flexion in women...
