BACKGROUND No appropriate measures have been specifically developed for pelvic girdle pain (PGP). There is a need for suitable outcome measures that are reliable and valid for people with PGP for use in research and clinical practice. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to develop a condition-specific measure, the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ), for use during pregnancy and postpartu...

Populations of threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) differ widely in spine number, extent of body armour, body depth, jaw length as well as many other traits [1] and provide an opportunity to gain insight into mechanisms of morphological diversification. The phenotypic differences are heritable but the gene(s) involved have not yet been identified [2]. We focused on the pelvic girdle...

Nowadays, postural misalignments prevalence in students is increasingly evident and its early detection the best way to prevent complications adulthood. It also known that problems appear have association between them. The aim of this study was characterize spine, scapular pelvic girdles 213 school (124 males 89 females), aged 10 20 years, from Escola Básica e Secundária de Santa Maria (EBSSM)....

BACKGROUND For the moment, scientific evaluation of programs on treatment of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle and/or low back pain after delivery is hardly available with only one study with a positive result, suggesting uncertainty about the optimal approach. Investigators draw particular attention to biomedical factors but there is growing evidence that biopsychosocial factors appear to be eve...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Clinical indicators of pelvic girdle dysfunction are limited. However, research has shown that the pattern of intrapelvic motion is altered during single-leg support in subjects with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Functionally, no relative motion should occur within the pelvis during load transfer, whereas anterior rotation of the innominate bone relative to the sacrum occurs ...

Deepening and generalization of already existing knowledge about rare diseases congenital anomalies are becoming relevant in modern medicine. Congenital malformations often combined with other abnormalities, including the genitourinary tract. It is assumed that there a model associated limited to specific area body. The purpose study was analysis information from sources scientific literature o...

Motoneurons grow into the chick hindlimb via consistent pathways, within which they make specific decisions leading to their correct targets. To determine which axonal guidance features dictate the position of the pathways and to examine the distribution of specific cues, we totally or partially ablated the early hindlimb bud and determined how the subsequent pattern of nerve outgrowth related ...

Three techniques to extract parasite remains from archaeological sediments were tested. The aim was to improve the sensibility of recommended paleoparasitological techniques applied in archaeological remains. Sediment collected from the pelvic girdle of a human body found in Cabo Vírgenes, Santa Cruz, Argentina, associated to a Spanish settlement founded in 1584 known as Nombre de Jesús, was us...
