Effects of Pilates on inter-recti distance, thickness of rectus abdominis, waist circumference and abdominal muscle endurance in primiparous women

BMC Women's Health, 2023
Background Pilates is expected to have a positive effect on women with weakened abdominal muscles after childbirth. Pilates may have a beneficial effect on the structure and function of the abdominal muscles in pregnant women. Therefore, the objective of

Microscopic and molecular aspects of skeletal muscle alterations in cerebral palsy

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Cerebral palsy, caused by non‐progressive brain injury, is frequently accompanied by skeletal muscle alterations. This review synthesizes current evidence from muscle biopsy studies, revealing cellular and molecular adaptations in muscle tissue. Abstract Cerebral palsy (CP), the most prevalent childhood‐onset motor disability, frequently entails ...

Imaging-based assessment of rectus abdominis muscle thickness in an adult population: evaluating possible anthropometric relationships

Studia Medyczne, 2014
Introduction: Very little attention has been paid to muscle architecture in the Sub-Saharan African environment, and the rectus abdominis muscle, being a stabilising agent in the trunk, should not be left out.

Effects of a 6‐week dynamic mobilisation exercise program on thoracolumbosacral kinematics in sports horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Background Dynamic mobilisation exercises (DMEs) are prescribed to support locomotor function, but knowledge of their longitudinal effect on thoracolumbosacral (TLS) spinal kinematics is limited. Objectives To evaluate the effect of a 6‐week DME program on TLS kinematics during standing reflexes, walking and trotting.

Morphology and osteo‐histology of the weigeltisaurid wing: Implications for aerial locomotion in the world's first gliding reptiles

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the morphology and osteo‐histology of the wing skeleton of the world's first gliding reptiles, showing how it differs from those of extant gliding lizards, yet is also convergently similar. These findings pave the way for future biomechanical studies on the gliding locomotion of these emblematic fossil animals. Abstract The Late

A comparative study of aging of the elastic fiber system of the diaphragm and the rectus abdominis muscles in rats

Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2000
In the present study the age-related changes of the striated muscle elastic fiber system were investigated in the diaphragm and rectus abdominis muscles of 1-, 4-, 8- and 18-month-old rats.

Development of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate anatomy, morphogenesis, segmental origin, and fiber formation of the abdominal musculature in the chicken embryo. We show that abdominal muscles arise from somites 24 to 28, and that the segmental identity of individual fibers in the abdominal muscle sheets is maintained.
