patient’s initial presentation and pain level during the evaluation, soft-tissue mobilization and myofascial release was performed. The patient was positioned supine with one pillow and a bolster placed under bilateral lower extremities. Extreme stiffness in bilateral sternocleidomastoid muscles consisted as the main focus of the initial treatment. The manual strokes were applied with moderate pressure in a superior to inferior fashion along the direction of the muscle fibers. Treatment duration lasted

CHAPTER 2 LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1 INTRODUCTION The seismic behavior of multistory frame structures has been studied extensively in the last few decades due to their efficiency as earthquake resisting systems. The multistory framed systems can be categorized as reinforced concrete (RC) frames, masonry-infilled frames, and wall-frame system. The literature survey in this chapter highlights some of the previous experimental and analytical Work done on the seismic performance of existing and rehabilitated

Tetanus is an infectious disease that affects the central nervous system and characterized by a prolonged contraction of skeletal muscle fibers. It is also called lockjaw or trismus because one of the most common signs when infected is tightening of the jaw muscles. Most People think that tetanus is only caused by stepping on a rusty nail, but the real cause is contact with the bacterium called Clostridium tetani through wounds, cuts and scratches. It is typically found in soil, dust and feces but

filter (Gomes , et al., 2013). Pertaining to Bendose and Sigmund, the stiffness gained from SIMP model can be grasped as the stiffness of structures consisting of void and a quantity of solid material for the given density of the structure’s material (Zhu, et al., 2016). Because of the simplicity of SIMP

DETF resonators. This axial force will result a change in the stiffness of the resonators so there will be a shift in the resonance frequencies of these DETF resonators[3]. These shift in resonance

million diagnosed in 2012. Also by 2030, an estimated 37% of those diagnosed will report arthritis-attributable activity limitations. Although early diagnosis may help some people have a better quality of life, more often than not, the pain and stiffness of arthritis negatively impacts the majority of sufferers. In fact, a study published in 2011 in Arthritis Care & Research found that measures of physical and mental health were consistently two to three times lower in arthritis patients than in

Blood Pressure Similar to how researchers observed the short-term effects of resistance training on blood pressure, other researchers studied these effects for a longer period of time while varying the volumes, intensities, and duration of each exercise in the experimental exercise protocol. Because the studies took place for a longer duration of time, typically researchers utilized a lower to moderate intensity level in order to ensure that their subjects did not suffer any medical complications

Osteoarthritis is a chronic joint disease, the degeneration of the joint cartilage and the underlying bone. Usually osteoarthritis is mostly found in the knee, hip, and hand. This disease is more common in people over the age of fifty and is also more likely in women than men. This disease generally develops over several years. Symptoms can often remain stable for long periods of time during this period of time. Adding to the involvement of joint tissues, osteoarthritis has been characterized by

Arthritis is the general term for the group of conditions that damage the joints and result in pain and stiffness in one or more of the body's joints. The most common forms are Osteoarthritis (brittle cartilage), Rheumatoid Arthritis (where the body's immune system attacks the joints), Gout (Created by a build-up of Uric Acid) and Ankylosing Spondylitis (Pain and stiffness in the lower part of the spine). There are many methods for treating arthritis which may include Exercise Physiology, Phisiotherapy

blood vessels in the limbs and send more blood to the core of the body in order to keep warm the internal vital organs. In such conditions, the joints in our body, especially the knees and the hips, become colder and stiffer which causes discomfort, stiffness, and pain. The change in the barometric pressure can result in a painful condition… or maybe not? The barometric pressure is the amount of pressure the atmosphere puts on our body and blood pressure. When it changes, it impacts the internal blood
