The amplitude (on a relative scale) of the cochlear filter shown for the physiological position-frequency map f ( d ) = K e − d l − S with K = 20, 000, S = 200, l = 6.6 and parameter c = 4.
For the compression tests the femur was first positioned in the 0° position, then in the physiological 9° position of the femur with a calibrated wedge.
Given that the gingival margin's physiological position may be 0.5 to 2.0 mm coronal to the cemento-enamel junction [7, 8], the reference point for clinical recession is obscured by the gingiva itself.
Piglets are four-legged animals and their physiological position is the prone position, during which ventral segments are 'dependent.' In patients lying in the supine position, ventral segments of lower lobes are non-dependent.
In the resting position, the muscles are slightly contracted and EMG activity is greater than in the physiological resting position.
To our knowledge, there is not much written about the physiological meniscal position in the asymptomatic knee free of radiographic OA [ 30] and in particular its potential change over time.
The testing of the specimens followed the standardized sequence: first 4-point bending tests [anterior posterior (AP), posterior anterior (PA), lateral medial (LM) and medial lateral (ML ], then torsion tests [internal rotation (IR) and external rotation (ER)] followed by axial compression tests in the 0° (0°) and in the physiological 9° position (9°) of the femur.
Although muscle activity cannot be avoided in this (or any other) physiological position, it simulated a common situation of "physical rest" of the participants, as taken during daily life.
The intended position of the implant was all the way towards the posterior longitudinal ligament, since that would place the center of rotation in the physiological anterior-posterior position.
The following conditions are regarded as postural defects: abnormal shape of the physiological spinal curvatures, asymmetrical positioning of the shoulder or pelvic girdle, disturbance of the knee joint axis and abnormal shape of the foot arches.
