RESUMO A pressão do cuff (Pcuff) ideal deve ser capaz de prevenir a microaspiração secreções orofaríngeas por escapes aéreos e evitar lesão da mucosa traqueal. Normalmente, realiza-se monitorização meio manômetro, buscando manter Pcuff entre 20 30cmH2O. O método volume mínimo oclusão (VMO) consiste em insuflar minimamente o balonete, utilizando uma seringa, para que não ocorram vazamentos. obje...

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the electromyographic activities and balance of Vastus Medialis Obliquus (VMO) and Vastus Lateralis (VL) muscles during Straight Leg Raise (SLR) in individuals with and without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (PFPS). Methods: Through an analytical case-control study, 26 persons with PFPS and 26 healthy subjects were recruited by non-random and convenience ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Inappropriate neural control of the quadriceps femoris muscle group has been implicated in patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). This study investigated the timing of initial electromyographic (EMG) activity of the vastus medialis oblique muscle (VMO) and the vastus lateralis muscle (VL) in asymptomatic subjects and subjects with PFPS during reflex and voluntary muscle act...

Objectives: To analyze the electrical activity of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), vastus lateralis longus (VLL) and vastus lateralis obliquus (VLO) muscles of individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) during maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of lower leg extension with the knee at 30°; to assess pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS); and to assess patellar positio...

OBJECTIVES To analyze the electrical activity of the vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), vastus lateralis longus (VLL) and vastus lateralis obliquus (VLO) muscles of individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) during maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) of lower leg extension with the knee at 30 degrees; to assess pain using a visual analogue scale (VAS); and to assess patellar p...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hip adduction on the activity of the Vastus Medialis Obliquus (VMO) and Vastus Lateralis Longus (VLL) muscles during semisquat exercises. METHODS Twenty female subjects, divided into two groups comprising healthy and patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) subjects (ten volunteers for each group), performed three double-leg semi...

intruduction: pattellofemoral pain syndrome (p.f.p.s) is the most common problem in knee joint. various authors have indicated that imbalance of muscle activity between vastus medialis oblique (vmo) and vastus lateralis (vl) might lead to p.f.p.s. the objective is to determine the effect of patellar taping on vmo/vl myoelectric activity ratio during maximal isometric contraction in open and clo...

We prove higher regularity for nonlinear nonlocal equations with possibly discontinuous coefficients of VMO-type in fractional Sobolev spaces. While corresponding local elliptic VMO it is only possible to obtain integrability, our setting we are able also a substantial amount differentiability, so that result some sense purely type. By embedding, Holder such equations.
