Shadow zone is an area where seismograph can not be detect earthquake after the seismic wave have passed through the earth. When earthquake strikes, seismic wave radiate out spherically from the earthquake's epicenter. At the angular distances of 104 degree to 140 degree from the earthquake focus, any direct P waves are not received.
Questions about bending over after Hip replacement. I just read in another thread a reminder of not bending over for 6 weeks after surgery. It has prompted this question. I guess I should ask the PT, but I'd also like input from folks who have been there. First, let me tell you about my job.
A number of factors determine return to work such as the type of procedure performed, the job description (ie manual labor, desk work), the commute etc. In general however, patients who undergo an anterior approach total hip replacement may feel capable of returning to deskwork within 2 weeks of the time of surgery. How long before I can take a bath or shower or go swimming? Unless otherwise instructed by Dr. Davidovitch you may shower 2 days after surgery provided the wound is dry. Bathing in a tub or swimming is not recommended for the first 2 weeks after surgery. How far can I bend forward after the hip is replaced? If an anterior approach hip replacement is performed, typically there are no restrictions on bending and patients may safely bend forward as much as they tolerate.
