INTRODUCTION The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) is frequently involved in low back and pelvic girdle pain. However, morphometrical and functional characteristics related to SIJ pain are poorly defined. Pelvic belts represent one treatment option, but evidence still lacks as to their pain-reducing effects and the mechanisms involved. Addressing these two issues, this case-controlled study compares morph...

BACKGROUND The presence of primary aneurysmal cyst in soft tissues is a extremely rare and its presence in the soft tissues of hand has never been reported in literature before. We report the first ever case of extraosseous aneurysmal cyst in hand. CASE PRESENTATION A twelve years old girl presented with a swelling in the thenar region on palmer aspect of right hand growing slowly since three...

Shoulder Circumduction Test, V Sit and Reach Groin Flexibility Back Scratch Test Calf Muscle were used assess flexibility. In addition descriptive parameters, repeated...

The pelvic girdle is a complex structure with a critical role in locomotion, but efforts to model the mechanical effects of locomotion on its shape remain difficult. Traditional approaches to understanding form and function include univariate adaptive hypothesis-testing derived from mechanical models. Geometric morphometric (GM) methods can yield novel insight into overall three-dimensional sha...

The transverse rotations of the human pelvis and shoulder girdle duiing walking were studied and compared in 10 young men and 10 young women. Three sets of measurements were made for each subject : transverse rotation of the pelvis, transverse rotation of the shoulder girdle, and simultaneous transverse rotations of the pelvis and the shoulder girdle . All measurements were made while the subje...
