The Effects of Kinesio Taping on Muscle Interplay within the Lumbo-Pelvic-Hip Complex: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Coordination of muscle activity is determined by the recruitment order of agonists and synergists that results from their onset times. Motor recruitment deficits are possible. This study examined the acute and prolonged effects of three different techniques of the kinesio taping method in optimizing the intermuscular coordination within the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex.

Critical Appraisal of Surface Electromyography (sEMG) as a Taught Subject and Clinical Tool in Medicine and Kinesiology.

The characteristics and state of knowledge of bioelectric signals such as ECG, EEG, and EMG are initially discussed. This serves as the basis for exploration of the degree of scholastic coverage and understanding of the level of clinical acceptance of respective bioelectric signal subtypes during the last 60 or so years. The review further proceeds to discuss surface EMG (sEMG).

The Influence of the Schoolbag on Standing Posture of First-Year Elementary School Students.

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of the mass of a schoolbag on standing posture in first-year elementary school children. First-year elementary school students (n = 76) participated in this study. The data was digitized and analyzed using SkillSpector and Kinovea.

Poor Agreement Between Two Commonly Used Measures of Shame- and Guilt-Proneness.

This study sought to assess the agreement between commonly used measures of shame- and guilt-proneness, the Test of Self-Conscious Affect-3 (TOSCA-3), representing scenario measures, and the Personal Feelings Questionnaire-2 (PFQ-2), representing checklist measures. To overcome the limitations of the widely used correlation analysis, the 2 measures were compared by the Bland-Altman method. We administered both measures at once to the same sample of 138 graduate students (67.

Transplantation Psychiatry: an Overview.

Psychiatric consultation and evaluation is an important part of candidate selection for organ transplantation. Psychiatric assessment of patients undergoing transplantation procedure is done in pre- and post-transplantation periods, each one having its specifics. In the pre-transplantation period it is crucial to assess the patient's therapeutic adherence and the ability of understanding the treatment.
