A hypothesis, previously proposed, of tight medial rectus muscles in conjunction with tight lateral rectus muscles associated with exodeviations as a cause of lateral incomitancy in intermittent exotropia is supported by clinical management. Three patients with these findings underwent bilateral medial rectus and lateral rectus recessions by means of the adjustable rectus recession technique. Primary position alignment was achieved, and rotations were balanced with the alleviation of the lateral incomitancy. The lateral rectus muscles were recessed an amount more than usual in order to compensate for the recession of the medial rectus muscles.

Background/objectives: The active straight leg raise requires intricate coordination between the hip, knee, pelvis, and spine. Despite its complexity, limited research has explored the relationship between lower limb raising velocity and trunk muscle motor control during an active straight leg raise in healthy individuals. This study aimed to explore the potential effects of increased lower limb raising velocity on core muscle contractions during active straight leg raises.

Background: Many patients who get discharged from the intensive care unit experience physical dysfunction that persists even after discharge. Physical dysfunction is associated with skeletal muscle atrophy and accompanying intensive care unit-acquired weakness in the early stages of intensive care unit admission, and early diagnosis and prevention with early mobilization are crucial. However, the amount of physical activity required for early mobilization remains controversial in critically ill patients.

Objectives: To compare the thickness and function of the quadriceps muscle in subjects with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) by ultrasonography.

Methods: Patients diagnosed with PFPS were included in the study. To measure the thickness of the rectus femoris (RF), vastus medialis longus and oblique (VML, VMO), vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus intermedius (VI), the ultrasonography was employed in rest and normal contraction modes and also the % rest-thickness normal as muscle function.

Diastasis recti in children - results of ultrasonographic study.

J Ultrason

December 2024

Department of Anatomy, Institute of Medical Sciences, University of Opole, Opole, Poland.

Aim: Diastasis recti is a common contour abnormality of the anterior abdominal wall, where an increased distance between the rectus abdominis muscles results in a visible or palpable bulge in this area. This study aimed to characterize this clinical entity in children.

Material And Methods: Anatomy of the rectus abdominis muscles and the linea alba, with a special focus on the interrectus distance (distance between two bellies of the rectus abdominis muscles), was studied using ultrasound.
