Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

The acute effects of two different self-myofascial release products on the calf muscle pump and plantar flexion ankle range of motion [PDF]
textBackground: Massage can promote healing and recovery following exercise. (Carefelli et al. 1992). Barnes (1990) proposed that myofascial release helps to break up fibrotic fascial adhesions that may restrict joint range of motion (ROM).

Scheme depicting the experimental set up of the study. Achilles tendons and tenocytes were isolated from heterozygous (fa/+, non diabetic: non DMT2) and homozygous (fa/fa, diabetic: DMT2) Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats. Tendon degeneration, collagen type 1 alpha 1 chain (COL1A1) and alpha smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression was determined in rat ...

Generational Reproduction of Indonesian Smallholder Farming: Cases From Java and Flores
ABSTRACT This article explores the generational reproduction of farming and agrarian relations in the Indonesian islands of Java and Flores. Concentrating mainly on women and men who have managed, or are trying, to establish farming livelihoods, we ask how, why and when do young rural people find—or fail to find—pathways into farming?

Background Intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM)-corrected diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) potentially enhances return-to-play (RTP) prediction after hamstring injuries. However, the long scan times hamper clinical implementation.

Numerical evaluation of wearing pressure and cloth stiffness on vibration of human skeletal muscle during athletic movement [PDF]
In the design of sportswear which is expected to modify the performance of athletes, it is important to clarify the effects of the wear's rigidity and wearing pressure on the vibrations during exercise because they have been considered to reduce the ...

Abstract Objective To quantify how increasing axial loads combined with different femoral fixation methods impact simulated quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscle forces. Study design Experimental, non‐randomized, ex vivo study. Methods A custom limb press permitting axial loads of 10%–40% bodyweight with three femoral fixation models was tested with 24 ...
