The various school of thoughts in manipulation presented different aproach in tackling manipulation. cyriax, maitland, kaltenburn presented their aproach. Kaltenborn translatoric movement; this are passive accessory movements that are divided into TRACTION ( separation) occurring perpendicular to the joint surface and GLIDING (parallel movement) which takes place parallel to the joint surface. Translatoric movement are used in both movement and treatment ( kaltenborn,1986. Cyriax contributi...
Abstract The effect of aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera seed on serum cortisol and body weights was investigated in 24 adult Wistar rats for 21 days. Dried Moringa oleifera seeds were powdered by an electric blender. With the aid of an oven regulated at 400C and water, the Moringa oleifera seed extract was produced. The extract was dissolved in 5% Tween 80 solution to produce aqueous extract with concentration of 200mg/ml. The rats with a mean body weight of 144±43.1g were divided into ...
