purpose the purpose of this study was to estimate the dominant handgrip strength and its correlations with some hand and arm anthropometric variables in 101 randomly selected indian inter-university female volleyball players aged 18-25 years (mean age 20.52±1.40) from six indian universities. methods three anthropometric variables, i.e. height, weight, bmi, two hand anthropometric variables, vi...

We describe a case of intramuscular vascular malformation with extensive ossification within the posterior compartment muscles of leg which grossly mimicked long bone leading to equinus deformity of foot. Phleboliths and calcifications are characteristic of vascular malformations, while massive ossification is rare. To our knowledge, no extensive ossified vascular malformation within the leg mu...

the development and widespread use of a prophylactic vaccine significantly reduced the incidence of poliomyelitis. at present we more commonly encounter with poliomyelitis sequelae especially in developing countries. we evaluate the results of a modified innominate osteotomy for leg length discrepancy in poliomyelitis. instead of triangular bone graft as in salter’s innominate osteotomy , a tra...

the objective of this study was to investigate the relationship among body weight and fat-tail measurements with fat-tail weight by using multiple regression and principal component analysis. the eleven characters includes, body weight, fat-tail length, fat-tail circumference, width and diameters in 3 position of upper, middle and lower before the slaughter, and also fat-tail weight after the s...

To investigate anthropometric characteristics of Chinese professional female marathoners and suitable predicted variables correlated with their personal bests (PB), 96 Chinese female long-distance runners were divided into international (< 2 h 34 min), national (2 h 34 min~2 h 45 min) and average (2 h 45 min~3 h 19 min) levels according to their PB in marathon during the process of talent ident...
