Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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).

Achilles tenocytes from diabetic and non diabetic donors exposed to hyperglycemia respond differentially to inflammatory stimuli and stretch

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
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 ...

Effect of Local Fatigue in Quadriceps and Hamstring Muscles on Knee Joint Proprioception in Healthy Women

open access: yesBiyumikānīk-i varzishī, 2018
Objective Proprioception is part of the body's somatosensory system that is responsible for collecting information for the central nervous system to inform about the status of different parts of the body relative to each other.

Generational Reproduction of Indonesian Smallholder Farming: Cases From Java and Flores

open access: yesJournal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
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?

Accelerated IVIM-corrected DTI in acute hamstring injury: towards a clinically feasible acquisition time

open access: yesEuropean Radiology Experimental
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]

open access: yes, 2019
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 ...

Proximal femoral fixation method and axial load affect simulated muscle forces in an ex vivo feline limb press

open access: yesVeterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
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 ...
