BACKGROUND The Abductor hallucis muscle (AbdH) plays an integral role during gait and is often affected in pathological foot conditions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the within and between-session intra-tester reliability using diagnostic ultrasound of the dorso-plantar thickness, medio-lateral width and cross-sectional area, of the AbdH in asymptomatic adults. METHODS The AbdH muscl...

Macrodystrophia lipomatosa is a rare congenital form of localized gigantism characterized by an increase in all mesenchymal elements, particularly fibroadipose tissue. MR imaging can be used to examine the soft tissue and detect the fibrous and fatty hypertrophy that characterizes this condition and also diagnose an associated fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median or plantar nerve. We des...

atypical connections in the formation of the brachial plexus are prevalent and have been reported in different articles. the present report describes a case of variation of the median nerve observed in the iranian male cadaver during routine trial dissection. there are three roots for median nerve. median nerve is formed by joining two lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. third root of ...

Atypical connections in the formation of the brachial plexus are prevalent and have been reported in different articles. The present report describes a case of variation of the median nerve observed in the Iranian male cadaver during routine trial dissection. There are three roots for median nerve. Median nerve is formed by joining two lateral and medial cords of brachial plexus. Third root ...

variations in arterial anatomy are less frequent, contrary to the venous system, and most of these variations affect visceral arteries. variations in the brachial artery are the most frequently reported and so far a minimum of six different patterns have been described. the most common of these patterns is the superficial brachial artery, which lies superficially to the median nerve. much less ...

BACKGROUND Low-dye (LD) taping is commonly used to reduce rearfoot pronation. No studies have previously investigated the effectiveness of LD taping using both plantar pressure distribution (F-Scan) and 3-D (CODA) analysis of rearfoot motion. METHODS 20 healthy subjects with a navicular drop test exceeding 10 mm participated in the study. T tests were used to determine whether significant (p ...

introduction the brachial plexus, a complex network of nerves, innervates to the upper limbs. variation in the course of the nerves in the upper limb is common. case presentation this paper describes two cases of upper limb variations in a cadaver dissected at lorestan university of medical sciences. in the first variation, the median nerve in the arm has a different route, so that the median m...

Introduction The median nerve is formed by the two roots of the brachial plexus the lateral root from the lateral cord and the medial root from the medial cord. The medial cord crosses the third part of the axillary artery and joins with the lateral root to form the median nerve lateral to the artery. The median nerve crosses the brachial artery in the middle of the arm from lateral to medial s...

Sural nerve lipoma is a rare cause of sural nerve entrapment with an unknown etiology. The sural nerve is formed as a compilation of the median sural cutaneous and lateral sural cutaneous nerves, which arise from the tibial and peroneal nerves, respectively. It provides sensation to the posterolateral lower third of the leg and lateral aspect of the foot and heel. Sural nerve entrapment can res...
