Challenges of service coordination for evacuees of Hurricane Maria through the National Disaster Medical System.

Objective: To describe the challenges of service coordination through the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) for Hurricane Maria evacuees, particularly those on dialysis.

Design: Public health report.

Setting: Georgia.

Changes in lateral abdominal muscle thickness during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver in those with lumbopelvic pain.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Objectives: To determine if changes in transversus abdominis (TrA) and internal oblique (IO) muscle thickness and side-to-side symmetry differ in individuals with and without unilateral lumbopelvic pain while at rest and during the abdominal drawing-in maneuver (ADIM).

Background: Although the ADIM has been found to produce a symmetrical change in TrA and IO muscle thickness in healthy subjects, how these muscles are activated in those with unilateral lumbopelvic pain during the ADIM remains unknown.
