This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between foot shape and intrinsic muscles (IFMs) in adolescent swimmers compared with other athletes. Foot morphology of was athletes comparable age a competition level (n = 32 [64 feet]; total 64 feet; 128 feet two groups). variables IFMs were measured using three-dimensional scanner an ultrasound imaging system, respectively. Mul...

HIGHLIGHTS Bauhinia monandra leaf is mesomorphous to xeromorphous. It has glandular navicular and uniseriate nonglandular trichomes. The petiole differential anatomical characteristics within the genus. pulvinus motile cushion have live pectic septate fibres.

OBJECTIVE To identify the anatomical motor points of the abductor hallucis muscle in cadavers. METHODS Motor nerve branches to the abductor hallucis muscles were examined in eight Korean cadaver feet. The motor point was defined as the site where the intramuscular nerve penetrates the muscle belly. The reference line connects the metatarsal base of the hallux (H) to the medial tubercle of the...

Purpose: The proper neuromuscular recruitment patterns of hip and knee muscles are essential for dynamic stabilization of the knee. According to the kinematic chain, weakness in the performance of one motor segment can affect other segments of motion. Thus, the aim of this study was to compare the isometric strength of selected muscles of lower extremities in the hyperpronated foot with t...

Background: The purpose of the present study was to investigate correlative and predictive relationship of lower extremity anatomical alignment, isometric hip abduction and external rotation strength with jump-landing biomechanics using Landing Error Scoring System (LESS). Methods: Anatomical alignment and isometric lower extremity muscle strength of 30 active...

OBJECTIVES To carefully collect samples from the external urethral orifice, navicular fossa, and penile urethra and perform a semiquantitative evaluation and identification of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria present in the normal male urethra. METHODS Thirty uncircumcised male patients 18 to 40 years old without any inflammatory and/or infectious urethral processes were enrolled in t...
