Variation in Pelvic Morphology May Prevent the Identification of Anterior Pelvic Tilt
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Pelvic tilt is often quantified using the angle between the horizontal and a line connecting the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) and the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS). Although this angle is determined by the balance of muscular and ligamentous forces acting between the pelvis and adjac...

Eat Right, Your Way, Every Day

The Nutrition and Dietetics Club teamed up with Be Well on March 5-6 for a two-day event in the Memorial Union Quad on campus.One of the event highlights was a stationary bike provided by the College of Public Health and Human Sciences that powered a blender and made smoothies during the event.  Games, prizes, free food, and tips on how to stay healthy from guests including Bob’s Red Mill, First Alternative Co-op, Wild Squirrel Nut Butters, and Food@OSU kept spirits high in spite of the dreary weather.

"The brave may not live forever but the cautious never live at all"

Life on the road: just got back from San Francisco where I had a great meeting with Nick Chertock. Now getting ready for my next week workshop at the Northwest Athletic Training Association in Boise, Idaho on how to assess and correct scapular dyskinesis - an evidence based approach. The next day I fly out to present on Movement Variability - Dynamic Systems and Beyond at the Northwest American College of Sports Medicine. Both of these implement motor control principles - the key to success as an exercise and healthcare provider. Without the understanding of motor control principles we merely become exercise programmers or copycats. Understanding systems will put you apart from the masses.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3017756/


Motor Control Theories and Their Applications
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
We describe several influential hypotheses in the field of motor control including the equilibrium-point (referent configuration) hypothesis, the uncontrolled manifold hypothesis, and the idea of synergies based on the principle of motor abundance. The equilibrium-point hypothesis is based on the id...

Another excuse to enjoy wine: After years of debate, a new study in Science confirms that resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of grapes, can directly activate a protein that promotes health and longevity.

Read the abstract, “Evidence for a Common Mechanism of SIRT1 Regulation by Allosteric Activators,” by Basil Hubbard et al.

Studies have demonstrated that stability and motor control are altered in the presence of low back pain. Muscular responses within the trunk are rather volatile. Given these individual variations in muscle recruitment strategies, this study set out to determine whether such adaptations in muscle activation ultimately enhanced spinal stabilization; and whether individuals would adopt similar ‘signature’ patterns for tasks with different mechanical demands.

EMG recordings were obtained from various anterior and posterior trunk muscles amongst 17 healthy participants whilst performing trunk flexion and extension both in the presence and absence of experimentally induced pain. Both dependent variables increased during pain, however, no two individuals demonstrated identical muscle recruitment but utilized a similar strategy regardless of movement direction.

These results confirm that acute back pain enhances spinal stability (protection); however, the specific means by which individuals achieve this outcome is highly variable. Hodges et al.; Eur J Pain (2013).

The American Heart Association explains that the number of meals you eat may not be so important. How you eat those meals is what matters most when it comes to decreasing the risk of heart disease and other health problems that come along with being overweight.

Awesome article on upper extremity nerve entrapment sites. Perfect timing as I just did workshops on this at OSU and the UofO universities: http://radiographics.rsna.org/content/30/5/1373.full Clinicians, this should spark you to review your anatomy books, palpation skills and clinical reasonings.


Multimodality Imaging of Peripheral Neuropathies of the Upper Limb and Brachial Plexus1

The peripheral nerves of the upper limb are affected by a number of entrapment and compression neuropathies. These discrete syndromes involve the brachial plexus as well as the musculocutaneous, axillary, suprascapular, ulnar, radial, and median nerves. Clinical examination and electrophysiologic st...
