BACKGROUND Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division investigated the abilities of small-stature females (< or = 120 lb) to fly under G-stress using the Dynamic Flight Simulator (DFS) and its tactical fight/attack cockpit, displays and controls. OBJECTIVES Determine ability to exert NACES ejection seat actuation pull force under static, acceleration and simulated flight conditions; support u...

This paper presents analyses of data from the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) for the State of Illinois. Our analyses focuses on whether various changes in road network infrastructure and geometric design can be associated with changes in road fatalities and reported accidents. We also evaluate models that control for demographic changes. County-level time-series data is used and fixed...

[Purpose] This study developed methods of shoulder supporting banding and shoulder pulling banding using elastic bands for scapular dyskinesis patients with shoulder depression and scapular downward rotation and investigated the effect on shoulder pain and scapular position. [Subject] The subject was a scapular dyskinesis patient with shoulder depression and scapular downward rotation and shoul...

background: frozen shoulder has always been considered important because of the impact on the quality‑of‑life and long period of illness. therefore, the use of noninvasive and safe techniques that can speed up the healing process of the disease is important. methods: this study was a randomized clinical trial study on patients suffering from frozen shoulder who were referred to isfahan universi...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between the shoulder gradient and acromiohumeral interval of both shoulders in patients with unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome. METHOD Using the angulometer, we measured the shoulder gradient in patients with unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome in a standing position. Using the radiography, we measured the acromiohumeral interval and the a...

background: to validate the persian version of the simple shoulder test in patients with shoulder joint problems.   methods: following beaton`s guideline, translation and back translation was conducted. we reached to a consensus on the persian version of sst. to test the face validity in a pilot study, the persian sst was administered to 20 individuals with shoulder joint conditions. we enrolle...

Shoulder pain and loss of shoulder function are common complaints reported by a variety of patients. This article suggests that shoulder pain and loss of function are directly proportional to lifestyle choices, including smoking and obesity. To investigate possible relationships between lifestyle choices and shoulder health, the authors conducted an online survey combining the Oxford Shoulder Q...

Previous work has postulated that shoulder pain may be associated with increases in both peak shoulder anterior force and peak shoulder proximal force. Unfortunately these relationships have yet to be quantified. Thus, the purpose of this study was to associate these kinetic values with reported shoulder pain in youth baseball pitchers. Nineteen healthy baseball pitchers participated in this st...
