1. Body-weight, body height, knee width, wrist width and skinfold measurements were made on males (n 139) and females (n 167) in three age-groups (20-22, 25-27 and 30-32 years). Percentage of body fat was calculated from skinfold thicknesses using regression equations according to Durnin & Womersley (1974). Three indices of relative weight were calculated: W/H2, W/Hp and W/W, where W is body-we...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stroke-induced hemiparesis involving the arm and hand results in regular, repeated overuse of the opposite hand and wrist. Because repetitive hand and wrist movement is a common cause of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), we examined the nonparetic upper limb in stroke patients for evidence of CTS. METHODS We measured bilaterally sensory nerve conduction velocity (SNCV), mot...

 Abstract Background: Radiography is the most widely available imaging modality. Precise evaluations of wrist x-ray can help diagnosis and evaluate the prognosis of many wrist disorders. Methods: We measured length, angles and indices in 150 posteroanterior and lateral wrist x-rays to determine normal dimensions and variations according to age and sex. All x-rays were made with standar...

abstract background: the measurement of hand grip strength has several clinical applications to evaluate chronic hand disability, response to treatment, and work capacity after hand injury. methods: we measured hand grip strength of 41 adults and compared their maximum strength with radiographic indices. results: there was a significant relationship between hand grip strength and carpal height,...

Motor activity was recorded continuously with a wrist-worn activity monitor for almost six days in nine patients with different predominant manifestations of Parkinson's disease and 10 normal subjects. The indices of diurnal motor activity decreased with the progressive worsening of hypokinesia and rigidity. With this monitor and a simple diary it was possible to determine the contribution of a...

METHODS We measured length, angles and indices in 150 posteroanterior and lateral wrist x-rays to determine normal dimensions and variations according to age and sex. All x-rays were made with standard exposure, with th...

conclusion high-resolution mr images of the wrist using 3d t2space, pd blade and t2 blade were superior to those using conventional sequences quantitatively. high-snr and cnr mr imaging with space and blade would be a promising method to diagnose wrist lesions. results snr of the cartilage, tfcc on 3d t2space and t1 fse was better than other sequences (p < 0.001). snr of the bone on pd blade wa...

WHO has estimated expected cases of T2DM to rise 57.2 million by the year 2025 and 80.9 2030. Since past two decades there been constant marked increase in prevalence diabetes urban population India with noticeable southern part India. The Prevalence ranges from 10-16 % region region. primary objective study was determine association between Indices using height, waist, hip, thigh, arm, wrist c...
