Background and Objective: Multifidus muscle which is one of the para-spinal muscles plays a key role in strengthening the spine and acts as inhibitory feedback in pain control.  The present study aimed to evaluate the rate of multifidus muscle atrophy in Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) images of patients with spinal pain. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 600 MRI images of ...

Objective Stair ascent and descent is an essential movement task in daily life in which individuals are subjected to repetitive impact forces. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the intensity of Electromyographic (EMG) activity in lower extremity muscles of healthy young men during stair ascent and descent task wearing different type of shoes and carrying loads. Methods Nine men with a ...

Background and purpose : Muscle spindle is responsible for the control of skeletal muscle fibers function at rest and movement cycle, and is known as servo agent for voluntary movement. Function of this kinetic neceptor is completely dependent on the γ- ring activity would bring activity of la fiber and group ÏÏ spindle muscle afferent. Âlso, there is close functional of muscle relationship b...

جهت بهینه سازی شرایط تولید پروتئین هیدرولیز شده (شامل نسبت آنزیم به سوبسترا، دما و زمان) به منظور دستیابی به بالاترین خواص آنتی اکسیدانی، مینس تهیه شده از ضایعات میگوی ببری سبز (penaeus semisulcatus) پس از تعیین درصد پروتئین آن (13%، بر اساس وزن تر) با استفاده از دو پروتئاز تجاری آلکالاز و فلاورزایم بر اساس 18 تیمار تعیین شده با طرح آزمایشات سطح پاسخ برای هر آنزیم، هیدرولیز شده و با خشک کن انجم...

Given that more than 50 percent of patellofemoral pain syndrome include of overuse injuries, the aim of this study was to compare the vastus medialis muscle activity in individuals with patellofemoral pain syndrome after a period of strength and flexibility training with and without the electrophysiological feedback. A total of 30 subjects (15 men and 15 women) participated in this study. Subje...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of electromyography measurements of abdominal muscles activity during different manoeuvres (pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction, abdominal hollowing and abdominal bracing with and without PFM contraction) in subjects with and without chronic low back pain (LBP). Materials & Methods: In this methodology research 21 subjec...

background: organic nitrates relax all kinds of smooth muscle , not only vascular smooth muscle , a fact that has allowed the use of these drugs to treat many different aliments. objective.-the purpuse of this study was to examine prosepectively benefical effects , if any, of sublingual nitroglycerin on the pain of renal colic. design.- prospective , randomised , double blind, placebo- contoled...

Background and Objective: Endurance activity affects muscle gene expression leading to the improvement of its function and effectiveness. Meanwhile, PGC-1 alpha transcription factor increases mitochondrial biogenesis in skeletal muscles. This study was designed to investigate the effect of an endurance activity program on pgc-1 alpha expression gene of fast and slow twitch muscles. Materials...
