REHAB TIPS: Lumbar Stabilization

Training for Women??s Basketball

“…Devices such as these, along with elastic bands, are economical and provide excellent station drills with minimal equipment (i.e., performing body weight quarter squats, lunges, etc.). Stabilization training drills are well suited for timed workout stations because it is more critical to focus upon higher repetitions and the endurance capacity of stabilizing muscles (40). Stabilization exercises for the hip abductors and adductors can play a critical role in helping an athlete to dynamically reduce valgus moments that occur during a variety of weight-bearing skills.…”

Characterisation of decohesion/cracking of paint and coatings by electronic speckle pattern interferometry

“…2,3 Laser based NDT techniques are finding increasing applications in specialised areas such as surface characterisation, because of their high resolution and the non-contact nature of measurements. 4 Some of these techniques include laser scattering for surface roughness characterisation and laser holographic interferometry for detection of defects in surface modified layers/ coatings, such as cracks/decohesion.…”
