Comparing the Distances of Different Intramuscular Gluteal Injection Sites to the Sciatic Nerve |
Author : Elif Yalcin*, Suna Kose and Mufit Akyuz |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Introduction: Sciatic nerve injury is a well-known complication of intra-muscular gluteal muscle injections. Affected individuals usually present with foot drop and this results in varying degrees of motor disability. There are different sites such as ventrogluteal, dorsogluteal that can be used for gluteal injections. In last years, the ventrogluteal site is accepted as a more safe and suitable injection site than dorsogluteal site. This study was carried out to compare the distance to the siatic nerve under the piriformis muscle of these different gluteal injection sites. The study also aimed to evaluate the muscle thicknesses at these injection sites. |

Neural Response During a Mechanically Assisted Spinal Manipulation in an Animal Model: A Pilot Study |
Author : William R. Reed*, Michael A.K. Liebschner, Randall S. Sozio, Joel G. Pickar and Maruti R. Gudavalli |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Introduction: Mechanoreceptor stimulation is theorized to contribute to the therapeutic efficacy of spinal manipulation. Use of mechanically-assisted spinal manipulation (MA-SM) devices is increasing among manual therapy clinicians worldwide. The purpose of this pilot study is to determine the feasibility of recording in vivo muscle spindle responses during a MA-SM in an intervertebral fixated animal model. |
