In addition, impaired stair negotiation associates with more than impaired strength, including functional impairments of cognitive load, sensory function and central motor coordination.
The characteristic symptoms include pain and tenderness, impaired sensation, often with numbness or hypersensitivity, impaired strength and reflexes, and abnormal circulation and decreased ability to sweat in the distribution of the inflamed nerve or nerves.
An important component of cardiac failure is dysfunctional skeletal muscle metabolism [ 38] and impaired strength - as reflected by handgrip strength [ 39].
The proximal lower extremities were more severely impaired: strength was 1/2 in the ileopsoas, and 1 in the quadriceps femoris and tibialis anterior.
Restricted activity, disability in Activities Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental ADL, impairments in general cognition and physical performance (e.g. impaired grip strength, impaired walking), co-morbidity, self-rated health, and depression/mood were evaluated.
After these adjustments were made, the avulsion type of injury was predictive of poor shoulder internal rotation strength (OR = 0.4, CI: 0.14 0.89; p = 0.03), impaired grip strength according to Jamar measurement (OR = 0.3, CI: 0.11 0.76; p = 0.01) and poor elbow flexion strength (OR = 0.3, CI: 0.12 0.79; p = 0.02) (Tables 4 and 5).
The fast-paced sport has grown to include athletes with all biomechanical impairment types as defined by IPC: impaired muscle strength, impaired passive range of motion, limb deficiency, leg length difference, short stature, hypertonia, ataxia and athetosis [2,5].
Anaemia is also associated with increased risk of falls and impaired muscle strength [ 63], executive function impairment [ 64] and dementia [ 65], hospital admission [ 66], and longer hospital stay [ 50, 66].
A correlation between the SHG intensity, fibrillar morphology, polarization anisotropy, and signal orientation with impaired mechanical strength has been reported in osteogenesis imperfecta [ 8].
As impaired muscle strength and balance are risk factors for falls, we examined the effects of hypnotic withdrawal on handgrip strength and balance in older adult outpatients during and after long-term use of temazepam, zopiclone and zolpidem (here collectively referred to as "benzodiazepines").
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Mamlūks were divided into two great rival houses the Faqāriyyah and the Qāsimiyyah whose mutual hostility often broke out into fighting and impaired the strength of the Mamlūks as a bloc.
