In this scale, muscle strength is graded on a scale from 0 to 5. For evaluating the strength of the intrinsic hand muscles, a small modification to the standard MRC grading has been made so that grade 3 indicates ‘full active range of motion’ as compared to ‘movement against gravity’: [2]
Range of motion (or ROM) is the linear or angular distance that a moving object may normally travel while properly attached to another. In biomechanics and strength training , ROM refers to the angular distance and direction a joint can move between the flexed position and the extended position. [ 1 ]
Alternatively, ignoring the body language of dogs can pose as a threat for not only humans, but for dogs too. [1] [2] [10] Properly assessing body language can predict whether or not the dog will bite. [2] [10] Biting occurrences most often involve small children, where bites often affect facial areas. [2]
Zygodactyly (from Greek ζυγος, even-numbered) is an arrangement of digits in birds and chameleons, with two toes facing forward (digits 2 and 3) and two back (digits 1 and 4). This arrangement is most common in arboreal species, particularly those that climb tree trunks or clamber through foliage.
The heaviest dog was an English Mastiff named Zorba, which weighed 314 pounds (142 kg). [2] The tallest known adult dog is a Great Dane that stands 106.7 cm (42.0 in) at the shoulder. [3] External anatomy (topography) of a typical dog: 1. Head 2. Muzzle 3. Dewlap (throat, neck skin) 4. Shoulder 5. Elbow 6. Forefeet 7. Croup (rump) 8. Leg (thigh ...
In the United States, the prevalence of obese or overweight adult dogs is 23–53%, of which about 5% are obese; [22] [23] the incidence in adult cats is 55%, [23] of which about 8% are obese. [ 22 ] In Australia , obesity is the most common nutritional disease of pets; [ 24 ] the prevalence of obesity in dogs in Australia is approximately 40%.
The method is termed active spline model. [5] The model is devised on the basis of active shape model, but uses centripetal Catmull-Rom spline to join two successive points (active shape model uses simple straight line), so that the total number of points necessary to depict a shape is less. The use of centripetal Catmull-Rom spline makes the ...
