Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) is a technology that can be used for therapeutic purposes.It exploits low intensity and pulsed mechanical waves in order to induce regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects on biological tissues, such as bone, [1] cartilage, and tendon. [2]
A microcurrent electrical neuromuscular stimulator or MENS (also microamperage electrical neuromuscular stimulator) is a device used to send weak electrical signals into the body.
The case was handled in Montana, where Canada Drugs bought another company in 2009 for its drug inventory and customer list. [7] In 2017, the six men were arrested in Manitoba and British Columbia under Canada's Extradition Act on June 14 and 15, respectively. [9] They were subsequently released on bail.
On inspection the clinician looks for signs of: trauma; previous surgery ()muscle wasting/muscle asymmetry; edema (swelling) erythema (redness); ulcers – arterial ulcers tend to be on the borders / sides of the foot, neuropathic ulcers on the plantar surface of the foot, venous ulcers tend on be on the medial aspect of the leg superior to the medial malleolus.
The Paraná maneuver makes use of a proprioceptive reflex to test venous-muscle-pump- induced flow. (A proprioceptive reflex is a response to a perceived stimulus, especially with regard to movement and position of the body.) [ 19 ] A slight push to the waist triggers a muscle contraction in the leg to maintain posture.
The FCC created the Medical Implant Communication Service (MICS) in 1999 "in response to a petition for rule making by [Medtronic, Inc.] to permit use of a mobile radio device, implanted in a patient, for transmitting data in support of the diagnostic and/or therapeutic functions associated with an implanted medical device."
Moving target indication (MTI) is a mode of operation of a radar to discriminate a target against the clutter. [1] It describes a variety of techniques used for finding moving objects, like an aircraft, and filter out unmoving ones, like hills or trees.
Involuntary extension of the "normal" leg occurs when flexing the contralateral leg against resistance. To perform the test, the examiner should hold one hand under the heel of the "normal" limb and ask the patient to flex the contralateral hip against resistance (while the patient is supine), asking the patient to keep the weak leg straight while raising it.
