Staff Perspectives on Non-Routine Compression Therapy for Inpatients With Venous Leg Ulcers: A Qualitative Study. [PDF]

Int Wound J
ABSTRACT Compression therapy is the evidence‐based treatment for healing venous leg ulcers. However, it is not routinely applied in many UK hospitals. This paper explores hospital staff's' perspectives of venous leg ulcer care provision where compression therapy is not routinely applied.

Changes in motor unit conduction velocity after unilateral lower‐limb suspension and active recovery are correlated with muscle ion channel gene expression

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effects of muscle disuse on the propagation of action potentials along motor unit (MU) muscle fibres, a key process for effective muscle activation and force generation, remain poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate changes in action potential propagation and to identify biological factors influencing these changes ...

BIOMECHANICAL STUDY OF PRESSURE APPLIED ON THE LOWER LEG BY ELASTIC COMPRESSION BANDAGES

, 2016
International audienceCompression bandages are a common treatment for some lymphatics or venous pathologies. The treatment success directly depends on the pressure which is applied on the external surface of the leg and which is then transmitted to the ...

Impact of 14 days of head‐down bed rest and an exercise countermeasure on skeletal muscle atrophy, proteome and circulatory cytokines in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged bed rest and immobilization have deleterious effects on skeletal muscle mass and function, especially in older adults. These can lead to reduced physical capacity and quality of life. Previous experiments in younger individuals show that exercise can mitigate these effects, but evidence remains scarce and inconclusive in older adults.

Jumping in simulated lunar gravity with blood flow restriction as a potential exercise countermeasure: The acute physiological effects

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The present study examined the cardiovascular, metabolic, neuromuscular and perceptual effects of low‐intensity jumping in simulated lunar gravity (∼20% bodyweight) with blood flow restriction (BFR). Fourteen healthy adults (24 ± 4 years; 1.81 ± 0.06 m; 75 ± 12 kg) completed an incremental jumping test in simulated lunar gravity (9.5° head‐up ...

A comparison of the neuromuscular, cardiopulmonary and muscle oxygenation responses to single‐ and double‐leg cycling in older adults

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work in younger adults has shown that during small muscle mass exercise, the tolerable degree of neuromuscular impairment at task failure is greater than during large muscle mass exercise. However, no study has compared the neuromuscular responses to small and large muscle mass exercise whilst matching exercise modality in older ...

Pressure immobilisation bandages in first-aid treatment of jellyfish envenomation: current recommendations reconsidered

, 2000
Objective: To evaluate whether applying pressure equivalent to that of pressure immobilisation bandages (PIB) causes release of additional venom from discharged jellyfish nematocysts.

Physiological mechanisms underlying enhanced performance with blood flow restriction training: neuromuscular, vascular and metabolic adaptations

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated how 6 weeks of dynamic knee‐extensor interval training with blood flow restriction (BFR‐leg) and without (CTRL‐leg) impacts performance and its mechanisms using non‐invasive methods. Specifically, we used gold‐standard methods to assess neuromuscular function, vascular function using Doppler ultrasound, and near ...
