Comparison of Lateral Abdominal Musculature Activation during Expiration with an Expiratory Flow Control Device Versus the Abdominal Drawing-in Maneu…
2020
Background and Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to quantify and compare lateral abdominal musculature thickness, including the transverse abdominis (TrA), internal oblique (IO), and external oblique (EO) muscles, via rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) during the use of the expiratory flow control device (EFCD) versus the classic abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM). Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational pilot study. Twenty-one women were recruited and assessed the thickness of each muscle (TrA, IO, and EO) by ultrasound imaging at rest, during the ADIM, and during expiration with the EFCD. Waist circumference was also measured under the same circumstan…
CT-Diagnostik von Blutungen in die Muskulatur des Abdomens im Rahmen therapeutischer Eingriffe in das Gerinnungssystem
1992
Eleven patients treated by anticoagulants or lytic therapy suffered bleeding into the abdominal muscles, resulting in neurological symptoms or those of an acute abdomen. By means of CT it was possible to demonstrate the bleeds and to clarify the differential diagnosis, thereby leading to correct treatment. The possibility of early diagnosis of haemorrhages makes CT a suitable and reliable method.
