[Purpose] The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of kinesio tape on pain, range of motion, and disability of the shoulder. [Subjects and Methods] Seventy-four female patients who underwent modified radical mastectomy participated in this study. They were randomly divided into two groups, an experimental group that received kinesio tape for the shoulder joint in addition to a convent...

SETTING An academic health science center, which is an acute London National Health Service trust. PARTICIPANTS With ethical approval and informed consent, a convenience sample of 26 healthy peop...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate on the effects of the stepwise application of orthosis and kinesiology tape on a patient with thumb metacarpophalangeal joint hyperextension injury. [Subject] The patient was a 43-year-old man with severe thumb MCP pain and extremely limited thumb movement. [Methods] Stepwise application of orthosis and kinesiology taping were performed for...

A 54-yr-old womanwas admitted to our department because of intermittent urinary tract infection, fever and right flank pain for 2 months after having been performed a tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for stress urinary incontinence in local hospital. 2 weeks before admission, the fever exceeded 39 C and the right flank pain became severe.

objective: this experimental in vitro study compared marginal adaptation of indirect composite, glass-ceramic inlays and direct composite. materials and methods: seventy-five recently extracted human molars were randomly divided into three groups (n=25) and mesio-occluso-distal cavities with the same dimensions were prepared in the teeth. indirect composite and glass-ceramic inlays were fabrica...

introduction one of the critical issues associated with sustainability in the twenty-first century is how cities are growing and developing in the space. rapid urban growth and physical development of cities cause disintegration of the spatial organization of cities and consequently spatial inequality between urban spaces. this phenomenon can be considered as spatial segregation or fragmentatio...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of rigid taping that induces mechanical displacement of the skin on pain perception. DESIGN Single group experiment design with repeated measures. METHODS Twenty-three active healthy volunteers (12 men and 11 women) participated in the study. All participants received three different taping procedures: no tape, taping with tension, and taping without ten...

In texture classification modeling the full joint probability distribution of features is of questionable value. This paper demonstrates that marginal distributions of filter responses and marginal conditional distributions of intensity values over small neighborhoods are adequate to classify textures and can outperform methods using the joint distribution. The use of the Earth Mover’s Distance...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the feasibility and the comfort of the local anesthesia more or less associated with a light sedation for the sub-urethral vaginal tape in the urinary incontinence surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS In a series without selection, 138 patients, benefiting from the isolated sub-urethral vaginal tape surgery (51: Monarc; 18: TVT-O((R)) and 69: TVTSecur, are submitted, after prem...
