This study investigated the effects of visual cues, muscular fatigue, task performance and experience of working on inclined surfaces on activity of postural muscles in the lower limbs associated with maintaining balance on three inclined surfaces - 0°, 14° and 26°. Normalised electromyographic (NEMG) data were collected in 44 professional roofers bilaterally from the rectus femoris, biceps fem...

IMPORTANCE Bilateral medial rectus muscle recession and one lateral rectus muscle resection surgery for the correction of large-angle infantile esotropia may be associated with a favorable long-term motor outcome. A consecutive exotropic drift was encountered more commonly than a recurrent esotropic drift in the long run, especially in the smaller (50-69 prism diopters [Δ]) range of preoperativ...

TEXT-BOOK examples ot strabismus fixus and of the retraction syndrome are not commonly encountered. Abnormal medial recti, however, showing some tendency towards the fibrosis or muscular thickening characteristic of such conditions, not uncommonly appear when ordinary squints are operated upon. Abnormal medial recti are usually found in congenital convergent squint. In most such cases there is ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This study examines the value of ultrasound elastography for the examination of ocular and periocular structures. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Five patients, aged 22 to 75 years, who each had one blind eye were included. Patients underwent ultrasound elastography of their blind eye and periocular tissues using a 7-13 MHz probe. Strain grayscale and color-coded elastographic m...

Correspondence Rare origin of the inferior epigastric artery from an anomalous medial circumflex femoral artery Mathes & Bostwick (1977) surgically manipulated the rectus abdominis myocutaneous flap to repair defects in the anterior abdominal wall. Subsequently this flap was used in breast reconstruction (Robbins, 1981 ; Hartrampf et al. 1982) as a donor for free-tissue transfer (Bunkis et al. ...
