objective: the study evaluated the efficacy of oral calcium carbonate supplement on leg pain in pregnancy and nursing period. materials and methods: a total number of 176 women at third trimester of pregnancy or nursing period till to one year after delivery with complaint of leg pain, low back pain (lbp), and posterior pelvic pain (ppp) were evaluated for distinct primary causes and were exclu...

This study aimed to identify football players at high risk (HR) for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury via a four-test battery and assess possible factors affecting classification. Ninety-one professional semi-professional male athletes participated in field-based pre-season screening. The cut-off points of the test were 10% acknowledged inter-limb asymmetry limit quadriceps hamstring isom...

Background: This is prospective study on 118 patients who underwent lymphaticovenous anastomosis (LVA) due to the secondary lower limb lymphedema between January 2018 and October 2020 evaluate patients’ quality of life (QOL) using LYMQoL questionnaire. Methods: The outcome measurement included leg scoring system tool evaluating function, appearance, symptom, mood overall outcome. In addition, c...

Linear type scoring is key component in decision making process the herd, as it focusses on selection of animals with higher productive potential based their body conformation/linear traits. The present study was carried out 150 lactating Sahiwal cattle first to fifth parity. Measurements linear traits were recorded 1 h before evening milking at three different stages lactation. average score p...

purpose: core stability and leg stiffness are two determinant mechanisms in athletic performance and risk injury. this study aimed to investigate the gender differences and relationship of these two factors in athletes. methods: in this cross-sectional study, core stability and leg stiffness of 12 male and 12 female iranian squash players at national level were examined utilizing mcgill’s test ...

Leg stiffness is a predictor of athletic performance and injury and typically evaluated during bilateral hopping. The contribution of each limb to bilateral leg stiffness, however, is not well understood. This study investigated leg stiffness during unilateral and bilateral hopping to address the following research questions: (1) does the magnitude and variability of leg stiffness differ betwee...

Humans and birds both walk and run bipedally on compliant legs. However, differences in leg architecture may result in species-specific leg control strategies as indicated by the observed gait patterns. In this work, control strategies for stable running are derived based on a conceptual model and compared with experimental data on running humans and pheasants (Phasianus colchicus). From a mode...
