The Effect of Core Stability Exercises on Lower Limb Alignment, Upper and Lower Limb Function in Kyokushin Girls
Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercises in the trunk area on lower limb alignment and lower and upper limb function in Kyokushin athletes. Methods: The statistical sample of the research consisted of 30 female kyokushin players aged 14-18 years, who were randomly divided into two control and experimental groups. The control group perform...
متن کاملAre the Current Classifications and Radiographic Measurements for Trochlear Dysplasia Appropriate in the Skeletally Immature Patient?
BACKGROUND The assessment and classification of trochlear dysplasia in pediatric patients has yet to be well documented or validated. PURPOSE To examine several different measurements/classifications of trochlear dysplasia in skeletally immature patients to assess inter- and intraobserver reliability and to determine which best correlates with patellar instability. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study...
متن کاملAssessment of lower limb alignment: supine fluoroscopy compared with a standing full-length radiograph.
BACKGROUND While a full-length standing anteroposterior radiograph of the lower extremity provides the best radiographic method for assessing limb alignment, other methods must be used intraoperatively. We have employed intraoperative fluoroscopy with use of an electrocautery cord to assess limb alignment in the supine patient. METHODS We retrospectively compared the measurements of lower lim...
متن کاملDistal Clavicle Fixation in the Skeletally Immature
Distal clavicle fractures in adolescent patients may benefit from surgical intervention depending on fracture pattern, age of the patient, and other variables. Less-invasive techniques allowing earlier mobilization, decreased pain, and no requirement for hardware removal are attractive. A technique of double-button suture fixation is useful for the treatment of distal clavicle fractures in the ...
متن کاملLower-limb alignment and posterior tibial slope in Pakistanis: a radiographic study.
PURPOSE To assess the lower-limb alignment and posterior tibial slope in Pakistanis. METHODS 40 male and 19 female healthy Pakistanis aged 20 to 45 years were recruited. A full weight-bearing anteroposterior radiograph of the entire lower limb of each subject was obtained. The axial alignment was measured based on the centres of the femoral head, knee, and ankle. The tibiofemoral (TF) angle, ...
