ABDOMINAL PRESSURE PROFILING IN ADULT HORSES
Measurement of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is essential for documentation and monitoring of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS). IAH and ACS are two linked conditions significantly associated with morbidity and mortality in critically ill humans. …

A Study of Raised Intra-abdominal Pressure and the Abdominal Compartment Syndrome in Liver Intensive Care
Introduction<br/>Interest in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) measurement has increased significantly, with evidence of its deleterious effects demonstrated on every organ. Despite the volume of publications – several assumptions relating to the measurement of IAP remain unproven and there is a …

INCREASE IN 1RM BACK SQUAT AFTER ABDOMINAL STABILIZING MANEUVERS
<p>Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during free weight exercises can protect the lumbar spine from excess movement; a cause of lower back pain. Abdominal bracing (AB) and abdominal hollowing (AH) are two stabilizing maneuvers that increase IAP. Previous literature primarily compared AH and …

Design and Validation of a Dynamic Pressure-Based Loading Device and 3D Strain Tracking Protocol for Ventral Hernia Modeling
… for determining the mechanical properties of the abdominal wall and biomaterials for hernia repair consist primarily of uniaxial and biaxial testing, which are not physiologically relevant loading environments. The need for a testing device that can exert physiologically relevant loads ex vivo to …

Reliability of Urinary Bladder Pressure Measurement in Critical Care
Background of the study: Intra abdominal pressure (IAP) theoretically may be a predictor of enteral nutrition tolerance (EN). Urinary bladder pressure (UBP) is the gold standard for estimating IAP. Current recommendations for UBP measurement (UBPM) calls for the instillation of normal sterile …

Development of a functional neuromuscular stimulation (FNS) muscle training program to prepare paraplegics for standing
… disadvantageous as it may cause increased abdominal pressure, renal dysfunction, pressure sores, muscle atrophy and osteoporosis. Thus it would be beneficial, physiologically and psychologically, for a paraplegic to be able to stand for temporary periods of time. As a result of the muscle …

The influence of inspiratory muscle training upon balance and functional performance with older adults.
… plays a key role in the development of intra-abdominal pressure that helps to stabilise the lumbar spine during balance perturbations (e.g. shoulder abduction and adduction). This doctoral project investigates whether the effects of structured inspiratory muscle training (IMT) on respiratory …

Dynamic evaluation of female pelvic floor muscle function using 2D ultrasound and image processing methods
… During automatic events that raised intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), normal PFM function produced timely compression of the PF and additional external support to the urethra, reducing the displacement, velocity, and acceleration. In women with SUI, who have weaker urethral attachments, this …
