Reliability of Body Landmarks Analyzer for Measuring the Quadriceps Angle
Genovarum and Genovalgum are the most common postural deformities of the knee joint. A quadriceps angle is used to measure these anomalies. Methods of measuring this angle are divided into two categories: invasive and non-invasive. The purpose of the present research was to study the inter/intra rater reliability of the non-invasive Body Landmarks Analyzer method for measuring of the quadriceps...
متن کاملZooplankton body composition
I compiled literature on zooplankton body composition, from protozoans to gelatinous plankton, and report allometric relations and average body composition. Zooplankton segregate into gelatinous and non-gelatinous forms, with few intermediate taxa (chaetognaths, polychaetes, and pteropods). In most groups body composition is size independent. Exceptions are protozoans, chaetognaths, and pteropo...
متن کاملMeasuring body composition and energy expenditure in children with severe neurologic impairment and intellectual disability.
BACKGROUND Accurate prediction equations for estimating body composition and total energy expenditure (TEE) in children with severe neurologic impairment and intellectual disability are currently lacking. OBJECTIVE The objective was to develop group-specific equations to predict body composition by using skinfold-thickness measurements and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and to predict...
متن کاملBody fluid composition.
UNLABELLED Body fluid composition is maintained in a normal physiologic range by regulatory mechanisms that control sodium and water metabolism. A detailed knowledge of the homeostatic mechanisms will help in understanding the pathogenesis and management of disorders of sodium and water balance. OBJECTIVES After completing this article, readers should be able to: 1. Understand the distributio...
متن کاملEvaluation of a new air displacement plethysmograph for measuring human body composition.
A new air displacement plethysmograph, the BOD POD (BP), was evaluated in comparison to hydrostatic weighing (HW). Sixty-eight adult subjects (26 F, 42 M) varying widely in age (range 20-56 yr), ethnicity, and fatness participated in this study. Same-day test-retest reliability was assessed in a subsample of 16 subjects (9 F, 7 M) and validity was assessed in all subjects (N = 68). The test-ret...
