The effect of osteopathic manipulative techniques on diaphragm movement and respiratory function in asymptomatic subjects
(2009)Title: The effect of osteopathic manipulative techniques on diaphragm movement and respiratory function in asymptomatic subjects. Objective: To examine the effect of osteopathic manipulative (OM) techniques on diaphragm ... -
Intra-rater reliability of measuring diaphragm thickness utilising ultrasound imaging by a non-sonographer practitioner
(2018)BACKGROUND: As the primary muscle of ventilation, the diaphragm has a pivotal role in breathing, and in maintaining homeostasis for all other body systems. There have been several previous studies assessing reliability ... -
A pilot study using ultrasound imaging to compare fascial thickness between chronic neck pain and control groups
(2019)BACKGROUND: ‘Densification’, defined as a thickening in the loose connective tissue (LCT) of fascia, is a recently proposed theory that is thought to be associated with chronic neck pain (CNP). Stecco and colleagues ... -
Reliability of crural fascia and Achilles tendon excursion using ultrasound imaging : a pilot study
(2014)BACKGROUND: There has been recent interest in the role of gliding and sliding of connective tissue, such as tendons and fascia, in joint dysfunction. To date there are few studies that have investigated Achilles tendon ... -
Reliability of deep cervical fascia and sternocleidomastoid thickness measurements using ultrasound imaging
(2016-02-03)BACKGROUND: Recent literature has provided a hypothetical framework for the possible role of fascia within myofascial pain. This hypothesis involves structural alteration of deep cervical fascia within the loose connective ... -
Reliability of ultrasound imaging measures of soft tissue stiffness using elastography in the posterior aspect of the leg
(2016)Objectives: To evaluate the intra- operator and inter- operator reliability of ultrasound elastography (UES) imaging in obtaining stiffness measurements of subcutaneous tissue, lateral gastrocnemius, and soleus muscles ... -
A retrospective evaluation of clinical records for patients referred for diagnostic ultrasound of posterior leg injuries
(2020)BACKGROUND: ‘Tennis leg’, defined as injury to the distal musculotendinous junction of the medial gastrocnemius, is a relatively common injury sustained during sports and day to day activity. This condition is generally ...
