Intratester and intertester reliability and criterion validity of the parallelogram and universal goniometers for active knee flexion in healthy subjects
Tập 2 Số 3 - Trang 150-166 - 1997
AbstractBackground and PurposeA new parallelogram goniometer was designed by the
Rehabilitation Centre of the Royal Ottawa Health Care Group in 1983. The
advantage of using such a goniometer is that the clinician is not required to
estimate the joint axis of rotation when taking a measurement. The parallelogram
goniometer has obtained a good intratester and intertester reliability when
measuring a...

Balance assessment in patients with peripheral arthritis: applicability and reliability of some clinical assessments
Tập 6 Số 4 - Trang 193-204 - 2001
AbstractBackground and PurposeMany individuals with peripheral arthritis blame
decreased balance as a reason for limiting their physical activity. It is

degrees of disability...
Ultrasound and Laser as Stand‐Alone Therapies for Myofascial Trigger Points: A Randomized, Double‐Blind, Placebo‐Controlled Study
Tập 19 Số 3 - Trang 166-175 - 2014
AbstractBackground and PurposeUltrasound (US) and low‐level laser therapy (LLLT)
are commonly employed for myofascial trigger points (MTP) despite lack of
evidence for usage as stand‐alone treatments. The aim of the study was to
determine, on MTP of the upper trapezius muscle (uTM), the effects of US and
LLLT per se, as delivered in accordance with the procedures reported by surveys
about their us...

findings. Design. The study is case based and case controlled. Setting. The
study was performed in the tertiary care of a medical center. Subjects. There
were a total of 1,448 patients...
Differences between left and right suboccipital and intracranial vertebral artery dimensions: an influence on blood flow to the hindbrain?
Tập 9 Số 2 - Trang 85-95 - 2004
AbstractBackground and PurposeAlthough vertebral artery (VA) blood flow is
adequate in normal circumstances, reduction in the dimensions of the vessel
because of atherosclerosis, or compression or stretching, may lead to hindbrain
hypoxia with serious clinical manifestations. Such effects may be more
pronounced in VAs that are naturally smaller than the norm. Because normative
data for the subocci...
Concurrent validity of the Berg Balance Scale and the Dynamic Gait Index in people with vestibular dysfunction
Tập 8 Số 4 - Trang 178-186 - 2003
AbstractBackground and PurposeThe Berg Balance Scale is a reliable and valid
measure that is used to assess characteristics of balance. The Dynamic Gait
Index is a relatively new measure that has been used to record dynamic gait
tasks in people with vestibular dysfunction. The purpose of the present study
was to determine the concurrent validity of the Dynamic Gait Index with the Berg
Balance Scal...
