Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has been used in the diagnostic evaluation of the pelvic floor dysfunctions. MRI can contribute to generate 3D solids of pelvic floor muscles through manual segmentation. The aim of this study is to calculate the area and its moment of inertia of 8 female pelvic floor muscles by using manual segmentation technique. Based on CAD software manual segmentation was u...

Fuzzy PI controllers are using in the place of linear PI controller with success in process control, assuring better control quality criteria. The paper presents some methods, with a higher grade of generality, to design PI fuzzy controllers, to assure internal and external stability to control systems and better control quality criteria. Families of input-output transfer characteristics and ga...

background : fecal incontinence is defined as the involuntary loss of fecal material. fecal incontinence is a particularly embarrassing and distressing condition with significant medical, social and economic implications. the purpose of this article is to review the relevant the role of pelvic floor muscle dysfunction in fecal incontinence. materials and mthods : we performed a literature searc...

Transforaminal pelvic fractures are high-energy injuries that are translationally and rotationally unstable. This study compared the biomechanical stability of triangular osteosynthesis vs 2-transsacral-screw fixation in the repair of a transforaminal pelvic fracture model. A transforaminal fracture model was created in 10 cadaveric lumbopelvic specimens. Five of the specimens were stabilized w...

introduction: the use of traditional medicine has been emerged in the treatment of bps (bladder pain syndrome) due to its high prevalence and expenses and its insufficient treatment by conventional therapies. iranian traditional medicine has discussed such diseases. considering the signs and symptoms of bps and “reeh”, the proposed mechanism of flatulency as casualty of recurrent circulating pa...

BACKGROUND Parkinson disease is a neurodegenerative disease that affects gait and postural stability, resulting in an increased risk of falling. The purpose of this study was to estimate mortality associated with demographic factors after hip or pelvic (hip/pelvic) fracture in people with Parkinson disease. A secondary goal was to compare the mortality associated with Parkinson disease to that ...

Abstract Background Children with spastic diplegia experience gait abnormalities and problems caused by deficits in balance, motor control, spasticity. Abnormal pelvic inclination is common patients which may result poor balance. Purpose This study was conducted to investigate the relation between standing balance children diplegia. Subjects methods Thirty diplegic cerebral palsy from both sexe...

Prone hip extension has been used as a self-perturbation task to test the stability of the lumbopelvic region. However, the relationship between recruitment patterns in the hip and trunk muscles and lumbopelvic kinematics remains unknown. The present study aimed to examine if the balance of hip and trunk muscle activities are related to pelvic motion and low back muscle activity during prone hi...
