ultrasound is a reliable measure of muscle thickness in acute stroke patients for some but not all anatomical sites a study of the intra rater reliability of muscle thickness measures in acute stroke patients
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2012Co-Authors: Coralie English, Kerry Thoirs, Laura Fisher, Holly Mclennan, Julie BernhardtAbstract:Abstract This prospective, blinded study investigates the test retest reliability of measures of muscle thickness made by one sonographer across two cohort groups ( n = 29) of people hospitalised with acute stroke. Reliability was assessed in cohort one ( n = 14) for measurements made bilaterally at the anterior and posterior upper arms, the anterior and posterior Thighs (total of eight measurements) and in cohort two ( n = 15), for measurements made bilaterally at the lateral forearms, the anterior abdominal wall and the anterior and lower legs (total of eight measurements). Reliability estimates varied between measurement sites; intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) ranged from –0.26 (lateral forearm, paretic side) to 0.95 (anterior thigh, nonparetic side), percent mean differences ranged from 0.42% (posterior upper arm, nonparetic side) to 14.68% (anterior lower limb, nonparetic side) and method error ranged from 1.08 (abdomen, nonparetic side) to 9.69 mm (posterior lower limb, nonparetic side). Only four measurement sites (anterior upper arm, posterior upper arm, abdomen and anterior thigh) were within the acceptable ranges (ICC 0.60 to 1.00, mean percent difference range 0%–5% and method error range 0–5 mm) and considered reliable to use for measures of muscle thickness in people hospitalised with acute stroke.

independent evaluation of low level laser therapy at 635 nm for non invasive body contouring of the waist hips and Thighs
Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Elizabeth Mcrae, Jaime BorisAbstract:INTRODUCTION: The non-invasive body-contouring segment continues to exhibit uninhibited growth, a trend that has provoked the emergence of numerous body-contouring devices. One particular device, low-level laser therapy at 635 nm (LLLT-635), has exhibited promising clinical results. We performed an independent, physician-led trial to evaluate the utility of LLLT-635 nm for non-invasive body contouring of the waist, hips, and Thighs. METHODS: Eighty-six participants were retrospectively assessed at an individual clinic in the United States. A multi-head laser device was administered every-other-day for 2 weeks. Each treatment consisted of 20 minutes of anterior and posterior treatment. Patients received concurrent treatment of the waist, hips, and bilateral Thighs. Circumferential measurements were evaluated at baseline and one week following the 2-week treatment administration phase. RESULTS: Compared with baseline, a statistically significant 2.99 in. (7.59 cm) mean loss was observed at the post-procedure evaluation point (P < 0.0001). When analyzed individually, the waist, hips, and Thighs each reported a statistically significant reduction of -1.12, -0.769, and -1.17, respectively. Furthermore, linear regression analysis revealed a weak linear dependence (r = 0.179) between the reported weight and circumference change. CONCLUSION: These data further validate the clinical efficacy and safety of LLLT at 635 nm.

hiphuggers tingly Thighs
Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2003Co-Authors: Michael PuttickAbstract:Pressure on a sensory nerve can cause pain and paresthesia in the nerve's area of distribution. Entrapment of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel is the commonest example of this problem, but other nerves can be affected. The lateral femoral cutaneous nerve can be compressed as it passes under the
