Laparoscopic peritoneal dialysis catheter insertion is an established method for peritoneal dialysis catheter placement. One critical aspect of this procedure is rectus sheath tunneling. Proper peritoneal dialysis catheter incorporation within the ab...
Background/Objectives: This study examined whether foot progression angle and stance width modify lower-limb muscle activation during the holding phase of forward lunges in healthy adults. Methods: Thirty-six healthy adults completed five randomized...
Background: This study aims to determine the normal values of orbital structures according to sex in healthy adults. Methods: Diameters of extraocular muscles, the width of the optic nerve sheath diameter, the length of the inter-zygomatic line, ocul...
Pullover and straight arm pulldown exercises are commonly used in resistance exercise programs to improve sports performance or in physical activity health programs. This study aimed to evaluate the individual electromyographic (EMG) activity of the...

Knee joint muscle activation imbalances, especially weakness in the vastus medialis oblique, are related to patellofemoral pain within the female population. The available literature presents the leg press as an exercise which potentially targets vas...
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is an umbrella term including pain problems involving the cranio-cervical region. It has been suggested that patients with TMD also exhibit cervical spine disturbances. Evidence suggests the presence of morphological...
The iliopsoas plane (IP) is a fascial plane deep to the iliopsoas complex and is the target of several novel ultrasound-guided analgesic interventions for hip. Currently, limited information is known about its parameters. From the pelvic magnetic res...

The literature on enophthalmos is reviewed to understand its etiology and its prevention following orbital fractures. Specifically, the importance of muscle shape changes in predicting enophthalmos is discussed. The indications for surgical repair of...
Background and objectives: Abdominoplasty is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures. The excess skin in the conventional abdominoplasty is transversely excised and a single horizontal scar is formed. The mini inverted t-scar abdominop...
Handheld ultrasound has great potential in resource-limited areas, and can improve healthcare for rural populations. Single-channel ultrasound has been widely used in many clinical ultrasound applications, and optical tracking is considered accurate...
Multiple myeloma (MM) patients complain of pain and stiffness limiting motility. To determine if patients can benefit from vertebroplasty, we assessed muscle activation and co-activation before and after surgery. Five patients with MM and five health...
Background and Objectives: Sarcopenia and muscle wasting contribute significantly to functional decline in older adults, but differences in lower extremity muscle stiffness and gait variability between these groups are not yet fully understood. This...
Background: Long pulse width stimulation (LPWS; 120–150 ms) has the potential to stimulate denervated muscles in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). We examined whether testosterone treatment (TT) + LPWS would increase skeletal muscle size,...
