External cepahlic version (ECV) of the fetus in breech position is a safe and relative simple obstetric intervention to reduce the incidence of caeserean section for breech position at term. Uterine relaxants can enhance the success rate of ECV with…
A home-based peripheral muscle training program (Five Basic Exercises program (5BX)) is more effective in [a] increasing exercise capacity (e.g. peak work rate) and [b] patients’ preferred occupational performance when it is preconditioned by…
