the aim of this study was to investigate anthropometric and physiological characteristics in junior volleyball players for talent identification according to their volleyball playing positions. 15 junior national volleyball players (mean age 17.7±0.3 years) participated in this study. players were classified to five groups according to their playing positions: setters, liberoes, middle blockers...

conclusions findings of this research indicated that the roy’s adaptation model-guided education promoted the adaptation level of physiologic and role function modes in veterans with lower extremities amputation. however, this intervention could not promote adaptation in self-concept and interdependence modes. more intervention is advised based on roy’s adaptation model for improving the adapta...

arteriovenous fistulae traditionally have been placed in the upper extremity. experience with groin hemodialysis access has been discouraging because of high infection rates and associated limb amputation. the aim of this study was to determine infection rates, patency rates, and possible predictive factors for prosthetic thigh angioaccess outcomes in our hemodialysis patient population. a pros...

abstract objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between core stability and lower extremity injuries in female athletes through functional tests. decreased core stability has been suggested to contribute to the etiology of lower extremity injuries. so far researches had been used non-functional tests to assess the core stability. material and methods: fifty col...

Although lizards have been model organisms for testing locomotor performance and in ecomorphological studies, the limb movements of lizards during high-speed locomotion are poorly understood. Thus, we quantified the three-dimensional kinematics of the hindlimb, body and tail for five morphologically distinct species of lizard during steady-speed locomotion near maximum sprinting speed (2-5 m s-...
