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.
Piriformis syndrome symptoms consist of tenderness or pain in the buttock muscle which may radiate down the back of the leg into the hamstring muscles and sometimes even the calf muscles. It is common for pain to initially be confused with a hamstring strain or hamstring origin tendinopathy.
