چکیده

Study Design: Single-occasion, repeated-measures design. Objective: To determine the magnitude of hip abductor muscle activation during 6 rehabilitation exercises. Background: Many researchers have reported that hip strengthening, especially of the hip abductors, is an important component of a lower extremity rehabilitation program. Clinicians employ non–weight-bearing and weight-bearing exercise to strengthen the hip musculature; however, researchers have not examined relative differences in muscle activation during commonly used exercises. Information regarding these differences may provide clinicians with a scientific rationale needed for exercise prescription. Methods and Measures: Sixteen healthy subjects (mean ± SD age, 27 ± 5 years; range, 18-42 years; mean ± SD height, 1.7 ± 0.2 m; mean ± SD body mass, 76 ± 15 kg) volunteered for this study. Bipolar surface electrodes were applied to the right gluteus medius muscle. We measured muscle activation as subjects performed 3 non–weight-bearing (sidelying right hip abduction and standing right hip abduction with the hip at 0° and 20° of flexion) and 3 weight-bearing (left-sided pelvic drop and weight-bearing left hip abduction with the hips at 0° and 20° of flexion) exercises. Data were expressed as a percent of maximum voluntary isometric contraction of the right gluteus medius. Differences in muscle activation across exercises were determined using a 1-way analysis of variance with repeated measures, followed by a sequentially rejective Bonferroni post hoc analysis to identify differences between exercises. Results: The weight-bearing exercises demonstrated significantly greater EMG amplitudes (P .001) than all non–weight-bearing exercises except non–weight-bearing sidelying hip abduction. Conclusion: The weight-bearing exercises and non–weight-bearing sidelying hip abduction exercise resulted in greater muscle activation because of the greater external torque applied to the hip abductor musculature. Although the non–weight-bearing standing hip abduction exercises required the least activation, they may benefit patients who cannot safely perform the weight-bearing or sidelying hip abduction exercises. Clinicians may use results from this study when designing hip rehabilitation programs. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2005;35:487-494.

Classifying the Provably Total Functions of PA

We give a self-contained and streamlined version of the classification of the provably computable functions of PA. The emphasis is put on illuminating as good as seems possible the intrinsic computational character of the standard cut elimination process. The article is intended to be suitable for teaching purposes and just requires basic familiarity with PA and the ordinals below ε0. (Familiar...

Does positive affect influence health?

This review highlights consistent patterns in the literature associating positive affect (PA) and physical health. However, it also raises serious conceptual and methodological reservations. Evidence suggests an association of trait PA and lower morbidity and of state and trait PA and decreased symptoms and pain. Trait PA is also associated with increased longevity among older community-dwellin...

On the bipolarity of positive and negative affect.

Is positive affect (PA) the bipolar opposite of, or is it independent of, negative affect (NA)? Previous analyses of this vexing question have generally labored under the false assumption that bipolarity predicts an invariant latent correlation between PA and NA. The predicted correlation varies with time frame, response format, and items selected to define PA and NA. The observed correlation a...

An Introduction to Probabilistic Automata

This paper provides an elementary introduction to the probabilistic automaton (PA) model, which has been developed by Segala. We describe how distributed systems with discrete probabilities can be modeled and analyzed by means of PAs. We explain how the basic concepts for the analysis of nonprobabilistic automata can be extended to probabilistic systems. In particular, we treat the parallel com...

Processed aconite root prevents cold-stress-induced hypothermia and immuno-suppression in mice.

Processed aconite root (PA) is a crude drug used in traditional Chinese or Japanese medicine to generate heat in interior body and dispel cold. We evaluated the effects of PA on hypothermia and reduction in the activity of natural killer (NK) cells in mice exposed to chronic cold stress. Male mice were reared at 4 degrees C, and powdered PA was administered for 10 d as a food additive. Core bod...

Extracellular ATP both inhibits and facilitates calcium channel currents in acutely dissociated rat nucleus tractus solitarius.

The postsynaptic actions of exogenously applied adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) were investigated in nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) of the rat. Whole cell patch-clamp recordings were used to examine the regulation of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCCs) currents (I(Ca)) by ATP in freshly dissociated NTS. Application of ATP inhibited I(Ca) from -905 pA to -741 pA. In addition to this inhibi...
