Effects of aquatic backward locomotion exercise and progressive resistance exercise on lumbar extension strength in patients who have undergone lumbar diskectomy.
OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of aquatic backward locomotion exercise and progressive resistance exercise with a machine on lumbar extension strength in patients who have undergone diskectomy for a lumbar disk herniation. DESIGN Prospective comparative study. SETTING Department of Kinesiology at a state university. PARTICIPANTS Male patients (N=30) with disk herniation at spinal levels...
متن کاملLocomotor behavior across an environmental transition in the ropefish, Erpetoichthys calabaricus.
Many amphibious organisms undergo repeated aquatic to terrestrial transitions during their lifetime; limbless, elongate organisms that make such transitions must rely on axial-based locomotion in both habitats. How is the same anatomical structure employed to produce an effective behavior across such disparate habitats? Here, we examine an elongate amphibious fish, the ropefish (Erpetoichthys c...
متن کاملWalking and Surface Film Locomotion in Terrestrial and Semi-aquatic Spiders
The walking and surface film locomotion of a terrestrial spider, Lycosa rabida Walckenaer, and a semi-aquatic spider, Dolomedes triton (Walckenaer), are compared. Stepping patterns during locomotion on a solid substrate resemble an alternating tetrapod in both species. L. rabida retains elements of the terrestrial gait when moving on water: propulsive thrusts are concentrated at the tarsi and i...
متن کاملEnergetics of locomotion by the Australian water rat (Hydromys chrysogaster): a comparison of swimming and running in a semi-aquatic mammal.
Semi-aquatic mammals occupy a precarious evolutionary position, having to function in both aquatic and terrestrial environments without specializing in locomotor performance in either environment. To examine possible energetic constraints on semi-aquatic mammals, we compared rates of oxygen consumption for the Australian water rat (Hydromys chrysogaster) using different locomotor behaviors: swi...
متن کاملLocomotory transition from water to sand and its effects on undulatory kinematics in sand lances (Ammodytidae).
Sand lances, fishes in the genus Ammodytes, exhibit a peculiar burrowing behavior in which they appear to swim rapidly into the substrate. They use posteriorly propagated undulations of the body to move in both water, a Newtonian fluid, and in sand, a non-Newtonian, granular substrate. In typical aquatic limbless locomotion, undulations of the body push against water, which flows because it is ...
