Movement Variability Increases With Shoulder Pain When Compensatory Strategies of the Upper Body Are Constrained
2017
[DE] This cross-sectional study analyzed the influence of chronic shoulder pain (CSP) on movement variability/kinematics during humeral elevation, with the trunk and elbow motions constrained to avoid compensatory strategies. For this purpose, 37 volunteers with CSP as the injured group (IG) and 58 participants with asymptomatic shoulders as the control group (CG) participated in the study. Maximum humeral elevation (Emax), maximum angular velocity (Velmax), variability of the maximum angle (CVEmax), functional variability (Func_var), and approximate entropy (ApEn) were calculated from the kinematic data. Patients' pain was measured on the visual analogue scale (VAS). Compared with the CG, …
AB1057 risk factors associated with different lumbopelvic patterns of movement
2016
Background Rapid flexion movement increases the loading on the spine and it increases the risk of injuries 1 . In asymptomatic subjects lumbar-dominant and pelvis-dominant patterns of movement during trunk flexion have been observed 2,3 . However, little information about lumbar spine kinematics has been provided. Objectives To find out whether exhibiting different lumbopelvic patterns of movement during trunk flexion affects the kinematics of the lumbar spine in terms of velocity of motion. Methods Differential lumbar spine and pelvis angular displacement during the time course of a standardised sagittal trunk flexion from an upright position was recorded with an electromagnetic tracking d…
A survey on algebraic dilatations
2023
In this text, we wish to provide the reader with a short guide to recent works on the theory of dilatations in Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry. These works fall naturally into two categories: one emphasises foundational and theoretical aspects and the other applications to existing theories.
