In this study, the relation between the measurement duration and accuracy of pulse-counting was quantitatively examined with special reference to low-frequency fluctuations in heart rate variability. The interbeat intervals of 70 healthy male subjects were measured in standing, sitting and supine positions. Pulse rates for various durations were calculated by objective-scoring simulation based ...

abstract   background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the significance of the q angle with respect to the patella position. we assess the correlation between the q angles (calculated by clinical exam) in different positions and ct indices (with more impression on tttg).   method: atotal number of 68 knee joints of 50 cases entered the study. clinical examination was used to measure q...

background : joint proprioception plays an important role in limb movement and awareness of position sense. diabetes has a lot of complications such as lossof sensoryfunction, which canleadtoimpaired balance, thus the aim of this study to evaluated joint proprioception and balance in diabetic patients. methods: twenty type ii diabetic patients and20healthy controls participated in this case-con...

BACKGROUND The sagittal alignment of the spine changes depending on body posture and degenerative changes. This study aimed to observe changes in sagittal alignment of the lumbar spine with different positions (standing, supine, and various sitting postures) and to verify the effect of aging on lumbar sagittal alignment. METHODS Whole-spine lateral radiographs were obtained for young voluntee...

Methods Subjects: 25 idiopathic scoliosis patients with the average age of 15.5, various curves (14° -100° Cobb angle), undergoing physical therapy (Schroth method) for at least 3 months. 6/25 subjects are using a brace. An asymmetry was calculated as % of deviation from the expected 50% of weight bearing on each feet/ischium in unimpaired subjects. Healthy subjects weren’t measured, since ther...

Background & Aims: Uroflowmetry is a common procedure to examine the lower urinary tract system. Uroflowmetry results are affected by different factors. In this study, the effect of voiding position on uroflowmetric parameters and voiding residue were investigated in healthy subjects. Methods: This descriptive–analysis study was performed on 41 healthy volunteers with mean age of 33.22 ± 9.45 r...
