OBJECTIVES To develop a test battery of movement control (MC) tests and assess its intertester and intratester reliability. METHODS 29 subjects with knee OA with mean age of 64.7 (SD 8.7) years and 12 controls without either knee pain or previous diagnosis of OA (mean age 36.6 (SD 16.2) years) were included. Two experienced physiotherapists rated the filmed test performance of six MC tests bl...

Strength training is commonly performed at two different knee flexion amplitudes: partial (to 90 degrees) or total (to 140 degrees). During these amplitudes, both the pelvis and the tibia are moved to ensure control of the center of gravity and displacement of the external overload. Forward or backward movement of the pelvic tilt may indirectly influence the internal load on the spine. Objectiv...

ALTHOUGH PUBLISHED SUBJECT BIBLIOGRAPHIES would seem to have lost their value due to the availability of electronic catalogs and indexes, they still play an important role in winnowing the vast amount of information derived from these resources. This article supports this claim through an examination of an information search of a study of the subjects of play and leisure. The complementary noti...

purpose: low back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders, and lifting is one of its risk factors. the activities of lumbar muscles as the main muscles involved in lifting are important with regard to identification of the allowable limits and the injury mechanisms as well as the motor control aspects. this study aimed to investigate the effects of the lifting speed on the lumb...

Advances in technology has given rise to new computing models where any individual/organization (Cloud Service Consumers here by denoted as CSC's) can outsource their computational intensive tasks on their data to a remote Cloud Service Provider (CSP) for many advantages like lower costs , scalability etc. But such advantages come for a bigger cost “Security and Privacy of data” for this very r...

BACKGROUND Vertical jump tests are used in athletics and rehabilitation to measure physical performance in people of different age ranges and fitness. Jumping ability can be analyzed through different variables, and the most commonly used are fly time and jump height. They can be obtained by a variety of measuring devices, but most are limited to laboratory use only. The current generation of s...
