VALIDITY AND TEST-RETEST RELIABILITY OF MANUAL GONIOMETERS FOR MEASURING PASSIVE HIP RANGE OF MOTION IN FEMOROACETABULAR IMPINGEMENT PATIENTS.

Validity and test-retest reliability of manual goniometers for measuring passive hip range of motion in femoroacetabular impingement patients.

Abstract Background The aims of this study were to evaluate the construct validity (known group), concurrent validity (criterion based) and test-retest (intra-rater) reliability of manual goniometers to measure passive hip range of motion (ROM) in femoroacetabular impingement patients and healthy controls.Methods Passive hip flexion, abduction, add

Emergent gravity from vanishing energy-momentum tensor

Abstract A constraint of vanishing energy-momentum tensor is motivated by a variety of perspectives on Sunglasses quantum gravity.We demonstrate in a concrete example how this constraint leads to a metric-independent theory in which quantum gravity emerges as a nonperturbative artifact of regularization-scale physics.We analyze a scalar theory simi
