Results: The peak force values measured during mobilization were characterized by large intertherapist variability: coefficients of variation ranged from 40.97% to 77.49%.
Conclusion: Force parameters measured during dorsal glide mobilization were characterized by large intertherapist variability with high intrasession and poor intersession test-retest reliability.
Obesity is characterized by excessive fatty acid mobilization, giving rise to many obesity-related metabolic complications including insulin resistance [1], [2].
It is characterized by increased stiffness experienced during passive mobilization of a limb segment, irrespective of the direction of the mobilization.
Mobilization typically involves a slow and sustained application of iatrogenic force, while manipulation is characterized by a rapid application of iatrogenic force.
This new paradigm is characterized by instability, surprise sometimes bordering on chaos, improvisation, divergent thinking, emergent grassroots mobilization and ownership, irreverence and entrepreneurship.
Primary myelofibrosis is characterized by an extramedullary hematopoiesis with progressive hepato-splenomegaly resulting from the prominent mobilization of hematopoietic progenitors from bone marrow to spleen and liver.
Lactation is characterized by increased maternal basal metabolic rates, greater energy needs for milk production, and mobilization of fat stores [ 25, 29, 30].
However, early mobilization, often instituted on the same day as the surgical procedure, may be delayed by postoperative orthostatic-hypotension (OH) and intolerance (OI) which is characterized by symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, blurred vision or even syncope during postoperative mobilization [ 2].
The programme is characterized by a mix of household level outreach activities with community--level organizational tasks and social mobilization.
