To find an experimentâs dependent variable, you only need ask what the hypothesis is about. For example, an experiment testing the hypothesis âfertilizer A will increase the growth rate of sunflowersâ is primarily interested in the effect on different growth rates, making âgrowth rateâ the dependent variable.
Re: Piriformis causing foot and calf pain? YES!!!!!!!! When I started reading your post yesterday, piriformis was my first thought - not a slipped disc or anything like that. Beleive it or not, injuring or basically aggravating the piriformis can affect you in so many ways.
A simple physiological principle is that we need to stretch to maintain functional muscle length. Short, tight muscles can cause a number of problems including joint dysfunction, circulation problems, poor posture, and as in the case of piriformis syndrome, nerve entrapment.So, one solution to piriformis syndrome is to stretch regularly.y regular readers know that a subluxation is a stuck joint with neurological implications. In other words, subluxations hamper free movement and can cause nerve pain and/or dysfunction. Chronic or long-term subluxations, then, can lead to piriformis syndrome.
