The pelvis provides the anchor for these powerful muscles. It possesses a ‘ball and socket’ joint function, this allows 360o movement and permits agility and flexibility for the femurs (Roberts, Reiss and Monger, 2000). During running, the body’s weight is transferred…

Some research projects call for the immobilization of specific parts of an animal’s body; such as the head, neck, legs and pelvis, while other protocols involve the immobilization of an animal’s entire body.

In pelvic emergencies, radiological findings…

Hypothesis: Older adults with decreased knee or ankle threshold joint position sensation would show decreased postural control. • Threshold joint position is a test of sensory sensitivity used to quantify each subject’s proprioceptive abilities Methods: • 22 women and men, 70 yoa or older • all subjects had threshold joint position testing at ankle (plantar and dorsiflexion) and knee joints…

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders that is known to affect women during reproductive years.
