Marfans syndrome is an Autosomal dominant disorder of the connective tissues resulting in abnormalities of the musculoskeletal system, cardiovascular system and eyes. It has a prevalence of 1 in 100,000 population1 and occurs in all ethnic groups. It may be familial or due to new mutation (30%), in the fibrillin gene on arm of chromosome 15. It is estimated that one person in every 3000-5000 ha...

The spatial acuity of the skin for pressure stimuli has been explored extensively, but there have been few attempts to study spatial resolution for vibratory stimuli of the type used in tactile aids for sensory disability or to augment communication. Because vibrotactile spatial acuity has never been empirically determined at such sites, pattern perception with these devices might be poorer tha...

<p><span>Muscles are an important organ in the movement of body's skeleton to carry out sports activities. Measurement muscle activity during exercise process can be done using electromyography (EMG). This research uses Myoware sensor (AT-04-001) which is integrated with Arduino Uno and Xbee monitor biceps brachii fatigue wirelessly. Fatigue data processing carried objectively envel...

background: nonspecific symptoms are common in all areas of medicine. patients and caregivers can be frustrated when an illness cannot be reduced to a discrete pathophysiological process that corresponds with the symptoms. we therefore asked the following questions: 1) which demographic factors and psychological comorbidities are associated with change from an initial diagnosis of nonspecific a...

Background and Objective: Height measurement is an important part of nutritional assessmentespecially in children. However, in such cases as hospitalized or certain kinds of malformations ordisabilities, height cannot be measured accurately. We aimed to determine appropriate height predictors inIranian healthy children for further use in disabled and/or hospitalized children. Materi...

The main objective of a coach is to optimize athletic performance. The best performance improvements come from prescribing an optimal dose of physical training with proper recovery periods to allow for the greatest adaptation before competition. The main objective was to validate an inexpensive, easy, non-invasive, real time tool to control and monitor the training load in basketball: the BATLO...
