Effect of Vibration Foam Rolling and Non-Vibration Foam Rolling in the Lower Extremities on Jump Height
… foam rolling yields better power output in the lower extremities during a countermovement jump (CMJ), than a group who uses foam rolling without vibration compared to no warm-up. Eighteen female and male participants, EWU athletes volunteered for this study but three were unable to complete all …

Differences in Load Symmetry of the Lower Extremities in Postpartum Women During Daily Tasks and Childcare Loading Conditions
… region pain in postpartum women may result in lower limb load asymmetry. Additionally, external loading from carrying a child may alter the degree of asymmetric loading that exists in the lower limbs. Therefore, the first purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of daily tasks on …

Lower Extremities Muscle Strength Associated With Early Signs of Mobility Dependence among Older Adults Age 65 Years and Older
<p><strong>Background</strong>: Loss of muscle strength is evident even in apparently healthy older adults. functionally limited due to an increasing discrepancy between their own physiological capabilities (i.e. physiological impairments) and the challenges set forth by the environment. Functional …

Effects of Isolated Core Stability Training on Standing Static Postural Control, Recovery of Standing Postural Control and Kicking Velocity in Soccer Athletes
… in stabilizing the trunk for movement of the lower extremities. The ability of the trunk to maintain the position and motion of the trunk over the pelvis and LE’s is predominantly accomplished via quick postural responses to internal and external forces. These pre-programed postural responses …

An investigation of the forces within the tibiae at typical blast loading rates : with different boots
… and their occupants (Ramasamy et al., 2011). The lower extremities of the occupants are very prone to injury, mostly caused by underbelly detonation of AVLs or IEDs due to their spatial proximity to the rapidly deforming floor of a vehicle in response to the threat mechanism. Lower limb surrogate …

On Raynaud's phenomena of the upper extremities with special reference to sympathectomy and regeneration of the sympathetic
Almost 100 percent of Raynaud's Phenomena of the lower extremities respond to surgical treatment. The treatment of Raynaud's Phenomena of the upper extremities, on the other hand, has occupied the attention of medical observers for over fifty years with little success. Surgeons, physicians, …
