Ultrasonography (US) is useful for a number of purposes. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) provides better spatial and contrast resolution of the anatomical structures and organs than any other imaging method and is used mainly to identify nonpalpable lesions, guide surgical procedures, and stage local tumor disease. 1 In plastic surgery, US is not commonly used as a transoperatory guide, althou...

Human pelvic floor muscles have been shown to operate synergistically with a wide variety of muscles, which has been suggested to be an important contributor to continence and pelvic stability during functional tasks. However, the neural mechanism of pelvic floor muscle synergies remains unknown. Here, we test the hypothesis that activation in motor cortical regions associated with pelvic floor...

BACKGROUND Understanding the magnitude and direction of joint forces generated by hip strengthening exercises is essential for appropriate prescription and modification of these exercises. The purpose of this study was to evaluate hip joint forces created across a range of hip flexion and extension angles during two hip strengthening exercises: prone hip extension and supine hip flexion. METH...

Advances in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) have enabled safer peripheral nerve tumor surgery. We report a patient whom large sciatic schwannoma was successfully removed using stimulation. A 62-year-old male presented with palpable mass the right posterior upper thigh, just below gluteal fold. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an approximately 9-cm encapsulated solid middle ...

CONTEXT Components of gluteal neuromuscular function, such as strength and corticospinal excitability, could potentially influence alterations in lower extremity biomechanics during jump landing. OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between gluteal muscle strength, gluteal corticospinal excitability, and jump-landing biomechanics in healthy women. SETTING University laboratory. DESIGN ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate and strengthen the posterior segment of the gluteus medius. DESIGN A technical description of a novel examination and rehabilitation protocol. SETTING The gluteus medius, primarily a hip abductor, serves several important functions in the athlete. Weakness of the gluteus medius has been linked to injuries in the shoulder and iliotibial band, as well as ankle instabili...

-Purpose: To investigate whether there is a difference in the gluteus medius and minimus muscle thicknesses between cases with Graf method type IIa normal subjects.
 
 -Methods: A total of 200 cases, 1-3 months old infants, who applied to our hospital for developmental hip dysplasia ultrasound scanning January 2021 March were included study. The evaluated standard coronal plane 9-12 M...

A case of pseudotumour of the left ankle in a twenty year old Malay with severe Haemophilia A, who defaulted treatment for one year, and another in the left gluteal region in a thirty eight year old Chinese with severe Haemophilia A are reported. Both cases which developed complications of pseudotumours, demonstrate the importance of early and adequate treatment of muscle bleeds in haemophiliacs.
