This book was released on 1994 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Background and Purpose: Few controlled studies have looked at the effect of microcurrent electrical nerve stimulation (MENS) on musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to determine if MENS had any effect on the perception of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and decreased elbow extension range of motion (ROM). Subjects: Thirty-six female college students (mean age= 21.7 yr, mean height= 162.9 cm, mean weight= 60.5 kg) volunteered to participate in this study. Methods: Subjects were randomly assigned to the treatment group or the control group. Each subject was measured for perceived soreness and elbow extension ROM in her nondominant arm pre- and post-DOMS inducement, pre- and posttreatment, and 24 hours posttreatment. All subjects performed an identical eccentric lowering exercise protocol with dumbbell weights to induce DOMS in their nondominant elbow flexors. Forty-eight hours later, subjects returned and were treated with 20 minutes of MENS or sham MENS. Results: The mixed-effects ANOVA resulted in no significant difference between the groups for both perceived soreness and elbow extension ROM. Post hoc Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference tests found that DOMS was induced for both groups. Conclusion: MENS was not found to be effective in treating perceived soreness and decreased ROM associated with DOMS.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Study Design: A double-blind, placebo design (two-factor: group and time, with repeated measures over time) was used. The independent variables were three treatment groups: MENS pain, MENS healing, and MENS sham. The dependent variables were perceived pain, palpable tenderness, circumference, resting joint angle (biceps shortening), and biceps isometric force. Objective: To investigate the effect of two different microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulation (MENS) protocols on delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) of the biceps muscles. Background: Microcurrent treatment is gaining popularity for management of acute injuries; however, the effectiveness of this therapeutic modality remains questionable. Methods and Measures: Subjects were 60 volunteers (22.3 " 3.6 years of age) without upper extremity pathology. DOMS was administered to the non-writing upper extremity of each subject via 15 sets of 15 repetitions of eccentric biceps muscle activity at 60°/sec with a 1 min. rest period between sets, using the Biodex Multi-Joint Sytem 3 dynamometer (Biodex 3). Subjects completed a pretest session (Phase I), which was critical for confirming the acquisition of DOMS symptoms. Following the completion of Phase I, subjects were given a nine week rest period before Phase II DOMS administration, data collection, and MENS treatments began. DOMS was administered during Phase II with the protocol established in Phase I. Subjects were randomly assigned to the MENS pain (n =18), MENS healing (n =22), or MENS sham (n =20) groups. All groups received 20 min. treatments for five consecutive days. MENS pain and MENS healing groups received 100-600 uA, 30 Hz, and positive polarity and 40 uA, 0.3 Hz and positive polarity microcurrent treatment, respectively. The dependent variables were assessed before DOMS administration and after treatment on day one, as well as pre and post treatment at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours following eccentric activity. Perceived pain was assed via a Visual.
Book Synopsis Effects of Two Therapeutic Modalities on Acute Muscle Soreness by : Thomas John Kopec
Download or read book Effects of Two Therapeutic Modalities on Acute Muscle Soreness written by Thomas John Kopec and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Injuries hinder athletic performance. Athletic trainers must use every tool at their disposal to expedite recovery time from injury. Electrotherapy is one of the most common therapeutic modalities utilized. The purpose of this study was to examine standard Microcurrent Electrical Nerve Stimulation (MENS) protocol versus InterX with the Flexible Array attachment on the reduction of pain associated with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). DOMS was initiated using eccentric bicep curls. Subjects completed a pain scale after exercise and then were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: InterX, MENS, or no treatment. Each subject was to complete the exercise bout and then receive one treatment. In six or seven days they would repeat this procedure until they received each of the three treatments. The subjects also filled out a pain scale 24 hours after respective treatment. The results found no statistical significance among the three treatments regarding reduction in pain scores. However InterX did reveal the greatest decline of pain scores compared to MENS and no treatment. A larger sample size may reveal a statistical significance between InterX and MENS on DOMS symptoms reduction."--Abstract.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Obstetrics and Gynecology for Developing Countries by : Friday Okonofua
Download or read book Contemporary Obstetrics and Gynecology for Developing Countries written by Friday Okonofua and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive and easy-to-read guide to obstetrics and gynecology in developing countries. Although significant progress has been made towards the reduction of maternal mortality and morbidity globally, they are still unacceptably high in developing countries. This can be directly or indirectly tied to poor quality maternal health care and lack of access to cost-effective, comprehensive healthcare. Health practitioners in developing countries also contend with trying to keep abreast of recent developments in obstetrics and gynecology while dealing with lack of time, resources, and access to relevant information. This textbook was thus created by experts in obstetrics and gynecology with extensive experience in African clinical settings and consultants in developed countries to teach proper and accurate diagnosis, treatment and management of gynecologic and obstetric health issues within the context of developing countries. This second edition has been fully updated throughout with an added 25+ chapters that cover topics such as reproductive health, gynecological cancers and research methods. The book is divided into six sections: Women’s Reproductive Health; Obstetrics; Medical and Surgical Disorders in Pregnancy; General Gynecology; Gynecological Malignancies; Health Systems Organization, Research Methodology and Biostatistics. These section topics have been carefully covered by expert authors with the use of valid scientific data, policy instruments, and adapted to the cultural and social context of developing countries, with particular in depth coverage of conditions that have greater prevalence and incidence in developing countries. Each chapter also focuses on filling gaps in knowledge with a distinct pedagogical approach, starting with a set of learning objectives and ending with key takeaways for the chapter. This is an ideal guide for residents, medical students, practitioners of obstetrics and gynecology, midwives, general practitioners, and pediatricians, particularly those working in developing companies.

Book Synopsis Relieving Pain in America by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Relieving Pain in America written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-10-26 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronic pain costs the nation up to $635 billion each year in medical treatment and lost productivity. The 2010 Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act required the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to enlist the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in examining pain as a public health problem. In this report, the IOM offers a blueprint for action in transforming prevention, care, education, and research, with the goal of providing relief for people with pain in America. To reach the vast multitude of people with various types of pain, the nation must adopt a population-level prevention and management strategy. The IOM recommends that HHS develop a comprehensive plan with specific goals, actions, and timeframes. Better data are needed to help shape efforts, especially on the groups of people currently underdiagnosed and undertreated, and the IOM encourages federal and state agencies and private organizations to accelerate the collection of data on pain incidence, prevalence, and treatments. Because pain varies from patient to patient, healthcare providers should increasingly aim at tailoring pain care to each person's experience, and self-management of pain should be promoted. In addition, because there are major gaps in knowledge about pain across health care and society alike, the IOM recommends that federal agencies and other stakeholders redesign education programs to bridge these gaps. Pain is a major driver for visits to physicians, a major reason for taking medications, a major cause of disability, and a key factor in quality of life and productivity. Given the burden of pain in human lives, dollars, and social consequences, relieving pain should be a national priority.
Book Synopsis The NeuFit Method: Unleash the Power of the Nervous System for Faster Healing and Optimal Performance by : Garrett Salpeter
Download or read book The NeuFit Method: Unleash the Power of the Nervous System for Faster Healing and Optimal Performance written by Garrett Salpeter and published by Lioncrest Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans are resilient. In fact, we're built to endure trauma. Whether facing chronic pain, invasive surgery, or debilitating injury, we're capable of healing, repairing, and adapting to return even stronger. But sometimes the road to recovery feels like a journey with no end. During these times, we need a new path forward with an ally in healing that's been there all along: the nervous system. The nervous system works on our behalf, protecting, adapting, and taking its cues from the signals it receives. Sometimes the protection can go overboard, limiting performance and impeding recovery. But with the right neurological inputs, we can unlock a direct path to restored health and higher performance. In The NeuFit Method, Garrett Salpeter helps you reconnect with the nervous system and improve outcomes at every stage of rehab and fitness. Based on Garrett's proprietary NeuFit methodology and Neubie technology, the solutions in this book will introduce you to a framework for overcoming virtually any physiological challenge. Take the first step in enhancing recovery, boosting performance, and optimizing health in ways you never thought possible.
