Immediate effect of whole body vibration on trunk proprioception in non-specific chronic low back pain
Introduction: The available data indicate that there is a relationship between proprioception deficit and low back pain. For this reason, proprioception exercises are usually part of the rehabilitation protocols for these patients. Previous studies revealed that whole body vibration (WBV) can improve muscle performance and proprioception. The aim of this study was to investigate effect of WBV o...
متن کاملTotal body potassium and body fat estimation in relationship to height, sex, age, malnutrition and obesity.
1. Total body potassium was estimated by 40-K measurement with a high-sensitivity whole body counter in normal individuals over a wide age range and in patients who were obese or were grossly wasted as a result of various conditions which restricted food intake. 2. Potassal males and females, but when individuals of different age groups were matched for height, a significant fall in total body ...
متن کاملSpinal Loads of Seated Body in Vibration
Trunk biomechanical models play an indispensable role in predicting muscle forces and spinal loads under whole-body vibration (WBV) exposures. Earlier measurements on the force-motion biodynamic response (impedance, apparent mass) at the body-seat interface and vibration transmissibility (seat to head) have led to the development of different mechanical models. Such models could simulate the ov...
متن کاملEffects of body weight and alcohol consumption on insulin sensitivity
BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for the development of insulin resistance, which can eventually lead to type-2 diabetes. Alcohol consumption is a protective factor against insulin resistance, and thus protects against the development of type-2 diabetes. The mechanism by which alcohol protects against the development of type-2 diabetes is not well known. To determine the mechanism by which a...
متن کاملPhysiological Sex Age Ethnicity Height Weight Body physique Pathophysiological Arrhythmias Pacemakers Bundle
• Describe technical effects that can occur on ECG waveforms An important factor to consider when using findings on electrocardiograms for clinical decision making is that the waveforms are influenced by normal physiological and technical factors as well as by pathophysiological factors. Traditionally, the focus of bedside monitoring is detection of arrhythmia. However, continuous ST-segment mo...
