A large, flat ultrasonic transmitter and a small receiver are developed for studies of material properties in acoustic transmission goniometry. While the character of the wave field produced by the transmitter can be considered as a plane wave as observed by the receiver, diffraction effects are noticeable near critical angles and result in the appearance of weak but detectable arrivals. Transm...

BACKGROUND Visual estimation (VE) and goniometric measurement (GM) are commonly used to assess first metatarsophalangeal joint dorsiflexion. The purposes of this study were to determine the intrarater and interrater reliability of VE and GM and to establish whether reliability was influenced by the experience of the examiner. METHODS Ten experienced and ten inexperienced examiners evaluated t...

Background: Adhesive capsulitis is a common disabling and painful condition that causes limitation of both passive active ranges shoulder joint. Division frozen can be into primary secondary categories. Different techniques have been devised in physiotherapy to regain limited range motion adhesive capsulitis. Objectives: To compare the effects anterior posterior grade III Kaltenborn glides on g...

This study evaluated the influence of conventional and alternative surface treatments on wettability bond strength between polyether ether ketone (PEEK) veneering resin. PEEK samples were randomly divided into five groups: sandblasting, tribochemical silica coating, etching with 98% sulfuric acid for 5 s, 30 coating plus heated silane. One them was subjected to analysis by energy-dispersive X-r...

Introduction: There are multiple factors which can affect spinal range of motion such as medical conditions, pelvic asymmetry age, sex, race and geographical distribution etc. Aim: The present study aims to assess the differences between genders for trunk mobility in normal adults. Material & methods: In this cross sectional study, 137 subjects (71 females 66 males) were included 6 months f...

Surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks (surMOFs) integrate nanoporous supramolecular MOF materials directly into architectures for applications such as gas storage, chemical sensing, and energy storage. Layer-by-layer solution-phase deposition of the MOF-14 components (1,3,5-tris(4-carboxyphenyl)benzene copper (II) dimers, respectively) produces a porous conformal film on carboxyl-terminated...

Mechanical low back pain is the main common reason for referral to physiotherapy clinic, and a chief people complains, both men women are equally reported be affected by this condition. It found that core stabilization exercises have got significant improvement when compared conventional care in improving function relieving pain. To see effectiveness of muscles activation over along with Interf...
