background : previous studies have investigated different effects of muscle fatigue on body systems. however, there are no reports on the effect of fatigue protocol and its level on musculotendinous stiffness (mts) of the tricep-surae. this study was designed to compare the effects of 2 levels of submaximal fatigue contraction on mts of triceps-surae. methods: twenty female students by simple r...

conclusions with respect to the findings of the study, this method of treatment is recommended due to being cost efficient, easy, applicable, and flexible for alleviating the effect of fatigue on the personal, psychological, and social aspects of life quality in patients on hemodialysis. results the mean of the fatigue score within the research units was 42.37. overall, 42.2% and 56.1% of the p...

background : cancer is a disease which is identified by abnormal deformation of the cells. one of the common side effects of the cancer is fatigue that affects on patients’ life quality and leads to disability. exercise has an important role in improving these patients’ life quality and can be used as a complementary treatment during and after the cancer treatment. unfortunately, despite good e...

background: fatigue is considered as a major problem in hemodialysis patients and can impair their quality of life. the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of acupressure on fatigue in hemodialysis patients. materials and methods: this is a clinical trial study in which 96 hemodialysis patients participated. patients were randomly assigned into acupressure, placebo, and c...

this paper presents the fatigue life behavior of hub using random vibration based on road roughness. the main objectives of this study are to predict the fatigue life and to identify the critical location for evaluating fatigue damage. asphalt road surface profiles obtained in favorable circumstances by topography cameras and in according road classification iso 2631-1estimate road roughness su...

the comparison of the effects of effleurage massage with aromatic oil and non aromatic oil on fatigue severity in women with multiple sclerosis bahraini s , naji sa * , mannani r , bekhradi r received: 15june, 2011 accepted: 5september, 2011 abstract background & aims: fatigue is one of the most common signs in multiple sclerosis and also it is one of the common reasons of low quality of life a...

In this study, the effect of repair on fatigue life of tubular joints is investigated. Six cracked specimens precedently subjected to fatigue loading undergone to weld repair. Two of those specimens were shot peened before primary fatigue loading.  It is shown that repair gives rise to about 150% increase in fatigue life for original specimens while the increase of fatigue life for shot-peened ...

Background & Aims of the Study: Fatigue is one of the most important issues relating with safety and other aspects of human life. To understand fatigue and its relative factors and causes, there is a need to useful instruments, such as self-reported scales. The purpose of this study is to identify and present useful self-reported scales to measure fatigue. Materials & Methods: Data were extrac...
