STUDY DESIGN A double-blind randomized crossover experimental study with repeated measures, including a no-treatment control condition. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the initial effect of 2 mobilization with movement (MWM) treatment techniques performed in weight bearing and non-weight bearing on posterior talar glide and talocrural dorsiflexion in individuals with recurrent lateral ankle sprain. B...

Technological advancements in lower limb prostheses have resulted in actuated motors in both knees and ankles. Currently, these components are controlled by information measured from various electromechanical sensors attached to the prosthesis. Our aim is to enhance the control information provided to powered prosthetic components by including input from the user via interpreted myoelectric sig...

The anabolic effects of exogenous neutral protamine hagedorn insulin on tumor-bearing (TB) and non-tumor-bearing (NTB) rats were examined. Exogenous insulin (2 units/100 g/day) produced similar hypoglycemia in TB and NTB rats. Food intake and body weight gain were significantly increased by insulin in NTB rats. In TB rats in an early stage of cachexia, insulin increased food intake and host wei...

We studied the effect of full and partial weight-bearing on venous peak velocity in the legs of 73 subjects. We used colourflow Duplex ultrasound to determine the minimal amount of weight-bearing required to produce the same venous peak velocity as full weight-bearing. We found that the venous peak velocity remains the same in the femoral vein during partial weight-bearing (196 N and above). Th...

A series of ansa-silylene(fluorenyl)(amido) titanium complexes (1a–1c, 2a, and 2b) bearing various substituents on the amido and fluorenyl ligands are synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, 1H NMR, and single crystal X-ray analysis. The coordination mode of the fluorenyl ligand to the titanium metal is η3 manner in each complex. The propylene polymerization is conducted with these...

Orthopedic rehabilitation is very important for ensuring the best outcomes of treatment for musculoskeletal disorders and disabilities, especially in terms of hip fracture in old-aged patients. This field of research attempts to maximize the use of biomechanics and biology to improve functional outcomes and the overall well-being of patients. Orthopedic rehabilitation is a very important part o...
