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.
As you can see, a lot of things can go wrong in the hip. For the next couple of weeks, I will be focusing on different aspects of the hip and how it relates to running injury and performance. Today, the focus will be on a common condition known as Piriformis Syndrome. The hip is a complex joint that requires sufficient mobility and stability to enable us to function in our daily tasks as well as perform athletic activities such as running. Having too little or too much mobility or not enough stability can cause problems. The key is to find the balance between the two.
