The purpose of this study was to explore whether global efforts stop as a consequence of postural muscle exhaustion. To this end, seated adults were asked to exert 75% maximal voluntary contractions bimanual push efforts until exhaustion. A dynamometer was used to measure the horizontal force exerted on a bar (Fx) and a custom-designed force plate measured the antero-posterior displacement of t...

[Purpose] This study investigated and compared the discomfort experienced during car egress with the car door opened at different angles and muscle activation in drivers with hemiplegia following stroke and non-disabled drivers. [Subjects and Methods] The participants were five drivers with hemiplegia and five non-disabled drivers. The discomfort experienced during car egress was measured using...

One cause of groin pain in highly active patients may be a core muscle injury, commonly referred to as sports hernia. When patients fail nonoperative management, there are a number of surgical options that may be pursued. Typically, they will involve the direct repair of the rectus abdominis back to the pubis. However, we believe that this repair can be further strengthened by the appropriate l...

frequently observed. Consequently, a high volume patch that acted as a strong defense against infection and isolated the esophagus from the bronchus (lung) was necessary in this case. The use of omental and rectus abdominis muscular flaps, instead of conventional fundic wrapping, completely isolated the lower esophagus from the bronchus ( fig. 2 ). Twenty-one months after the surgery, the patie...

Abdominal diastasis is a condition that occurs when the rectus abdominis muscles separate, leading to weakness in abdominal wall and can manifest as bulge middle abdomen. common generate annoying symptoms affect quality of life those who suffer from it. Management include variety therapeutic approaches, conservative management with specific exercises manual therapy, surgery more severe cases.

The article presents a clinical case of perineal defect reconstruction using VRAM flap in patient with vulvar cancer. Stepwise surgical treatment method is described. A multidisciplinary meeting allows to realize plan help for such patients the goal treating oncological process and its complications. We have proposed variant through transfer vertical rectus abdominis musculocutaneous vascular p...

Presentations, research work, GPA, MCAT, extra curriculars, and volunteering. You could call it the “pre-med six-pack,” which, like a well-defined rectus abdominis, represent the “core” of an aspiring young physician. However, unlike one’s abdominal muscles, which experience fatigue after being put through a strenuous workout, these six core components are scheduled for a daily workout in the c...
