Objectives: The results of a few studies about the effects of ankle brace on muscles function during the performance of different tasks are contradictory. Moreover, the effect of brace on the co-contraction of ankle muscles is undiscovered. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of brace usage on the ankle muscles activity and co-contraction during single-leg landing. Methods: Fi...

background: several prognostic factors exist influencing the outcome of surgical discectomy in the patients with lumbar disc herniation (ldh). the aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between severity of preoperative impaired ankle reflex and outcomes of lumbar discectomy in the patients with l5-s1 ldh. methods: we retrospectively evaluated 181 patients (108 male and 73 female) who...

background and objective: ankle sprain is the most common injuries of ankle joint that 22% of sport injuries is related to ankle sprain.the aim of this study is to compare the effect of 1% hydrocortisone phonophoresis (1% hcp) with low level laser therapy (lllt) on treatment of 2nd degree ankle sprain. materials and methods: this double-blinded clinical trial was performed in fattemieh physioth...

introduction: functional ankle instability has described as a “feeling of giving way”. balance control deficit is one of the sensorimotor impairments observed in people with functional ankle instability that has been described to damage to the afferent receptors within the ligaments and joint capsule that affected during sprain. foot orthosis can improve balance control via enhanced sensory aff...

Infrared spectroscopy has been used in adsorption studies of trimethyl phosphite (TMP) on the hydrogen (H) form of the A-type and 13X zeolites. Infrared spectra of H-zeolites, except H-KA, show that TMP reacts rapidly with silanol hydroxyls on their surfaces and gives rise to form product molecules such as SiOCH3 and liquid dimethyl phosphite. The unaccomplished adsorption on the HKA zeolite ha...

Freshwater fish from the Putao and Myitkyina areas were collected in three ichthyofaunal surveys of the Mali Hka River and tributaries in and around Khakaborazi National Park and Hponkanrazi Wildlife Sanctuary, Kachin State, from 2014-2016. Tor yingjiangensis Chen et Yang 2004, Tor qiaojiensis Wu et al. 1977, Garra qiaojiensis Wu et al. 1977, Garra bispinosa Zhang 2005, and Schizothorax oligole...

Silver, Randi B., and Manoocher Soleimani. H1-K1-ATPases: regulation and role in pathophysiological states. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Renal Physiol. 45): F799–F811, 1999.—Molecular cloning experiments have identified the existence of two H1-K1-ATPases (HKAs), colonic and gastric. Recent functional and molecular studies indicate the presence of both transporters in the kidney, which are presumed to m...

Background. Mechanical relation between the foot and pelvic alignment had been studied in healthy subjects and individuals with other musculoskeletal disorders; however, in chronic ankle instability (CAI), it has not yet been determined. Objectives. To investigate the difference in pelvic torsion (PT) among individuals with CAI and uninjured subjects and correlate PT with perceived ankle insta...

Epidemiological studies have shown that 10-28% of all sports injuries are ankle sprains, leading to the longest absence from athletic activity compared to other types of injuries. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of external ankle supports in the prevention of inversion ankle sprains and identify which type of ankle support was superior to the other. A search strategy was ...
