Background/aim: The Motor Function Measure (MFM-32) is a classification system for ambulant and nonambulant patients with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). We aimed to translate it into Turkish, culturally adapt it, and test its reliability and validity for Turkish patients with NMDs.Materials and methods: The translation of the 32 items assessing three functional areas: standing position and tran...

the most difficult maxillary teeth for endodontic treatment are the maxillary first molars (mfm) due to their complex root canal anatomy. the presence of two roots and c-shaped canals in mfms has been reported in rare cases. the present case reports root canal treatment of mfm with two roots, where the palatal and buccal roots were joined together in a c-shaped configuration .

BACKGROUND Myofibrillar myopathies (MFM) are a group of phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous neuromuscular disorders, which are characterized by protein aggregations in muscle fibres and can be associated with multisystemic involvement. METHODS We screened a large cohort of 38 index patients with MFM for mutations in the nine thus far known causative genes using Sanger and next genera...

MFM was introduced shortly after the invention of the AFM (Martin & Wickramasinghe, 1987), and became popular as a technique that offers high imaging resolution without the need for special sample preparation or environmental conditions. Since the early 1990s, it has been widely used in the fundamental research of magnetic materials, as well as the development of magnetic recording components. ...

Workers in grocery stores are exposed to numerous musculoskeletal risks that can be reduced using assistive devices while performing stocking tasks. A regional grocery store has recently deployed a mobile cart without comprehension of its ergonomic impact on workers, which this paper investigates using normalized electromyography data (%MVC). This paper studies not only ergonomic impact based o...

We report the quantum calibration of a magnetic force microscope (MFM) by measuring two-dimensional stray-field distribution MFM tip using single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in diamond. From measured and mechanical properties cantilever function is derived allowing to convert images calibrated maps. This approach overcomes limitations prior schemes allows nanoscale measurements field range ina...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between muscle strength and motor function and between these variables and age. METHOD Muscle strength was measured by Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and motor function, by Motor Function Measure (MFM), in 40 non-ambulatory patients. Spearman tests investigated the relationships between muscle strength, motor function and age. RESULTS Total MR...

Several 3D multi-segment foot models (MFMs) have been introduced for the in vivo analysis of dynamic foot kinematics [1,2]. However, there is scanty evidence available to support their clinical use. Considering the potential of MFM to assess the function in foot pathology, there is a need for simple, reproducible and reliable multi-segment foot models. The purpose of this study was to assess th...
