PURPOSE Pregnancy is characterized by many musculoskeletal changes that affect daily living activities and walking. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of pregnancy on pelvic and trunk kinematics, and their relationship during the three pregnancy trimesters. METHODS Three-dimensional pelvis and trunk motions were measured using Qualisys Gait Analysis System in the first, secon...

Introduction Observing the obliquity of stapes by closely scrutinizing the HRCT temporal bone in otosclerosis revealed a reliable and consistent finding. This finding can add to the existing radiological criteria in diagnosis of otosclerosis. Objective The objective of this study is to establish the obliquity of stapes in otosclerosis by radiological measurements using HRCT temporal bone by com...

We describe the evolution of climate system dynamics by examining the climate response to changes in obliquity and precession over the last 5.3Myr. In particular, we examine changes in the shape of glacial cycles and the power of obliquity and precession response in benthic dO. When the exponential trend in dO variance is removed, its spectral power exhibits strong, proportional responses to am...

The American joumal ofOcClipational Therapy Various authors have delineated problems associated with wheelchair seating for elderly residenrs of nursing homes (Krasilovsky, 1993; Raible, 1995; Redford, 1993; Taylor, 1987), Both Redford (1993) and Krasilovsky (1993) cited pelvic obliquity while the resident is sitting on sling upholstery as the most common positioning problem in this population,...

In this article we will try to elaborate a reflection around aesthetic experience, more specifically phenomenology of artwork (Soutine/de Kooning), in dialogue with Emmanuel Falque's thought. Even if the French philosopher has not yet dedicated an autonomous work question, such appears abundantly dispersed and sparse his various writings. Among others, Francis Bacon Lucian Freud were artists ch...

Of 400 patients with disabilities resulting from poliomyelitis, seen at the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre between June 1976 and April 1978, 32 required surgical correction of abduction contracture on one side associated with severe pelvic obliquity of infrapelvic origin causing the opposite “high” hip to be unstable. Rather than directing treatment toward the unstable hip ...

We derive the Legendre series expansion for insolation distribution on rapidly rotating planets as a function of sine latitude and planet's obliquity. give an explicit formula coefficients this it depends obliquity approximate convergence rate. determine optimal truncation use in climate models compare approximation to other approximations literature.
