Comment on Durall, Davies, Kernozek, et al

Article Abstract:

The author examines the statistical analysis used by researchers in their study of arm elevation and finds it failing to address the balance between types 1 and 2 errors. He is also concerned with a lack of accounting for potential differences between genders in their study, though he commends the study overall.

Determining meaningful changes in pelvic-on-femoral position during the Trendelenburg test

Article Abstract:

A study determines the minimal detectable change (MDC) in pelvic-on-femoral (P-O-F) position of the stance limb during the Trendelenburg test. The results indicate that a P-O-F position change less than 4 degrees indicates no change in performance of hip abductor muscles examined by Trendelenburg test.

Correlations between hip strength and static foot and knee posture

Article Abstract:

A study to examine the relationship between hip-muscle strength, angle, and foot pronation was conducted. The results indicated a reduced strength of the hip abductors relative to adductors was associated with increased pronation at the foot.
