Several studies have shown that pelvic alignment may alter in the presence of immediate foot hyperpronation induced by external forces. It is unknown whether these alterations are presented in chronic foot hyperpronation or not. It is also unknown if these potential postural changes could affect iliopsoas muscle size. Therefore, it appears necessary to carry out thorough research in this study. Twenty nine females with pronated foot posture and twenty seven females with normal foot posture participated in this study. The iliopsoas muscle was measured using ultrasound imaging (USI). Pelvic angle (PA) was measured using reflective markers and digital photography. Intrarater reliability of USI for the iliopsoas muscle thickness was also measured. The results indicated that the iliopsoas muscle thickness and the PA were not different in individuals with pronated foot compared to the normal foot group. However, a good intrarater reliability of USI was found for measuring the iliopsoas muscle thickness.

[article]  inJournal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies > 2018/3 (2018) . - pp.560-565 Titre : Multifidus muscle size changes at different directions of head and neck movements in females with unilateral chronic non-specific neck pain and healthy subjects using ultrasonography Type de document : Article Auteurs : Somayeh Amiri Arimi, Auteur ; Mohammad Ali Mohseni-Bandpei, Auteur ; Asghar Rezasoltani, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp.560-565 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteurs : HE Vinci Appareil locomoteur ; Cervicalgie ; Echographie-doppler Résumé : Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to compare the dimensions of cervical multifidus muscle (CMM) in different conditions. Methods Twenty five women with neck pain and 25 healthy subjects participated in this study. The dimensions of the CMM were measured at rest, 50% and 100% maximum isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC) at six directions of neck movements, using ultrasonography. Results The size of multifidus was smaller in patients than healthy individuals at rest state (P 0.05 in both instances). The most prominent CMM size change was observed during neck extension, flexion, ipsilateral lateral-flexion, and ipsilateral rotation, respectively (P Conclusions Results of the present study indicate that the size of CMM was decreased in patients with neck pain in rest state. The size of CMM changes in all directions of neck movements, although the most prominent was during neck extension. This points out CMM stabilization role's in different directions of neck movements.

Quadriceps architecture in individuals with patellofemoral pain: A systematic review / Zinat Ashnagar in Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, Vol. 25 (January 2021)  

[article]  inJournal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies > Vol. 25 (January 2021) . - p. 248-254 Titre : Quadriceps architecture in individuals with patellofemoral pain: A systematic review Type de document : Article Auteurs : Zinat Ashnagar ; Mohammad Reza Hadian ; Elaheh Sajjadi ; Mehrnaz Kajbafvala ; Gholamreza Olyaei ; Fariba Pashazadeh ; Asghar Rezasoltani Année de publication : 2021 Article en page(s) : p. 248-254 Note générale : doi:10.1016/j.jbmt.2020.08.007 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteurs : HE Vinci Atrophie ; Muscle quadriceps fémoral ; Syndrome fémoro­patellaire Résumé : Objectives: To identify differences in architectural parameters (size, fiber/pennation angle, fiber length, and echogenicity) of the quadriceps muscle, as a whole or any individual part of it, using imaging techniques in individuals with patellofemoral pain (PFP) compared to contralateral, asymptomatic limb or separate control group. Background: Quadriceps muscles imbalance and weakness were proposed as risk factors for developing PFP. Although the muscle architecture (size, pennation/fiber angle and fiber length) is highly associated with skeletal muscle strength, it is not clear whether atrophy or any changes in architectural parameters of the quadriceps are presented in the PFP patients. Methods: Observational studies in which the total size of the quadriceps or individual parts of it were measured using imaging techniques in the PFP patients were included in this review. Electronic databases (PubMed, SCOPUS, PEDro, CINAHL, WOS, and EMBASE) were searched between January 1990 and December 2019 with no restriction of language. Study selection and data extraction and quality assessment were conducted by two independent reviewers. Results: Five cross-sectional studies were eligible to include in this review. Three out of five included studies that assessed the total size of the quadriceps and reported no significant differences between the PFP and healthy control group. Two out of five of the studies assessed the total size of the quadriceps between the symptomatic and asymptomatic limb of the PFP patients and reported the statistical difference between limbs. Only one study measured the fiber angle of the VMO muscle at the patella. Controversial results were found between studies that assessed the size of individual parts of the quadriceps. Conclusion: Due to the controversial results of the included studies, this systematic review failed to draw a conclusion on the role of quadriceps atrophy in PFP pathology. The limitation in PFP literature considering pennation/fiber angle, echogenicity and fiber length of individual parts of the quadriceps muscle, rises the need for research that focuses on the biomechanical properties of the quadriceps in PFP patients.

Quadriceps force production during straight leg raising at different hip positions with and without concomitant ankle dorsiflexion / Saeed Mikaili in Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, Vol. 22, n° 4 (October 2018)  

[article]  inJournal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies > Vol. 22, n° 4 (October 2018) . - p. 904-908 Titre : Quadriceps force production during straight leg raising at different hip positions with and without concomitant ankle dorsiflexion Type de document : Article Auteurs : Saeed Mikaili ; Khosro Khademi-kalantari ; Asghar Rezasoltani ; Paris Arzani ; Alireza Akbarzadeh Baghban Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 904-908 Note générale : doi:10.1016/j.jbmt.2017.11.006 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteurs : HE Vinci Contraction musculaire ; Force musculaire ; Hanche ; Muscle quadriceps fémoral Mots-clés : Dorsiflexion Résumé : Objective: Due to the significant prevalence of knee disorders and patellofemoral pain syndrome, as well as the importance of quadriceps strengthening in knee rehabilitation programs, it is necessary to specify the best method to activate and strengthen the quadriceps muscles. The current study aimed at comparing the maximum generated isometric force during an active straight-leg-raising (SLR) maneuver in a sitting position by changing the hip rotational position with and without the simultaneous contraction of the ankle dorsiflexor muscles. Methodology: The current study was performed on 30 healthy males recruited with a non-random and available sampling method. The maximum generated force was measured during the SLR maneuver in six compound internal and external rotations and in a neutral position with and without ankle dorsiflexor contraction. The obtained generated force was analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA.

Khalkhali Zavieh ; Asghar Rezasoltani ; K. H. Khademi Kalantari ; A.

Force sense error is considered to be the difference between the produced target force and reproduced force. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of tactile sensory feedback in the lower leg on the perceived magnitude of force sense. Methods and materials: In this cross-sectional study, 18 healthy men (mean age 24.31 ± 3.94 years) were selected based on a simple randomized method. First, the quantity of force sense error of the knee extensor muscle group was measured before and after manipulating the tactile inputs of the leg. Then, methods A, B, and C were applied to measure force sense errors. In addition, the tactile impulses were manipulated in methods B and C by placing a piece of thick foam between the distal portion of lower leg among the subjects and the dynamometer. The tactile inputs remained intact during method A.
