Passive Leg Raising Correlates with Future Exercise Capacity after Coronary Revascularization.

, 2015
Hemodynamic properties affected by the passive leg raise test (PLRT) reflect cardiac pumping efficiency. In the present study, we aimed to further explore whether PLRT predicts exercise intolerance/capacity following coronary revascularization. Following

Staggered passive leg raising test for predicting several degrees of fluid responsiveness in mechanical ventilated patients: an observational study

, 2017
Introduction: Fluid therapy is one of the cornerstones of resuscitation, although only 50% of critically ill patients are fluid responders. In recent years, the most traditionally used techniques to understand patient’s fluid status, such as central ...

Decoding portal vein pulsatility: hemodynamic determinants in a post-hoc analysis of a prospective observational trial

Annals of Intensive Care
Background The portal vein pulsatility index (PVPI) reflects systemic congestion and is influenced by both volume status and right ventricular (RV) function. The mean systemic filling pressure analogue (Pmsa), derived from a mathematical model, estimates

Effectiveness of the Muscle Energy Technique versus Neurodynamic Sliding on Hamstring Flexibility and Balance among Athletes

Journal of Health Science and Medical Research (JHSMR)
Objective: Muscle energy technique (MET) and neurodynamic sliding (NDS) are effective in improving hamstring flexibility. However, there is a dearth of information on the efficacy of these techniques for improving balance and regarding which is superior.

Diagnostic Accuracy of the Passive Straight Leg Raise Test in Detecting Compression of the Lower Lumbar Nerve Roots

The Internet Journal of Allied Health Sciences and Practice
Background: Lumbar nerve root compression is a pathological condition that occurs commonly in the low back pain population. Passive straight leg raise (SLR) is a clinical test widely used to confirm this pathological condition. Yet, its diagnostic accuracy needs further investigation.
