Comparison of Ankle Proprioception Between Pregnant and Non Pregnant Women
Pregnant women report falls especially during their third trimester. Physiological changes along with ligament laxity can affect the joint proprioception in this population. This study was conducted to compare the ankle proprioception between pregnant and non pregnant women. Thirty pregnant and 30 non pregnant women were included in the study and the position of ankles were recorded by a digital camera placed 60 cms away from the feet of the subject. UTHSCSA Image tool software version 3.0. was used to measure the difference between the initial and the final angle. The median repositioning error in the pregnant group was 11.6 (7.6, 12.4) degrees and the median repositioning error in the non-pregnant group was 4.2 (2.1, 6.3) degrees. There was a statistically significant difference in ankle joint proprioception between pregnant and non pregnant women
A probabilistic approach to reduce the route establishment overhead in AODV algorithm for manet
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETS) is a collection of wireless nodes without any
infrastructure support. The nodes in MANET can act as either router or source
and the control of the network is distributed among nodes. The nodes in MANETS
are highly mobile and it maintains dynamic interconnection between those mobile
nodes. MANTEs have been considered as isolated stand-alone network. This can
turn the dream of networking "at any time and at any where" into reality. The
main purpose of this paper is to study the issues in route discovery process in
AODV protocol for MANET. Flooding of route request message imposes major
concern in route establishment. This paper suggests a new approach to reduce
the routing overhead during the route discovery phase. By considering the
previous behaviour of the network, the new protocol reduces the unwanted
searches during route establishment processComment: International Journal of Distributed and Parallel Systems (IJDPS)
