of the hip and the knee joints by 40--80 degrees, was assumed in a supine position. A transducer head was placed 25 mm inside the space between the 12th vertebra and the iliac crest, and the thicknesses were determined by repeated measurements (3 times) during the ADIM and resting period. After sonographic measurement, a horizontal line was drawn in the area, 1.5 cm away from the muscle--fascia junction of the paretic and the nonparetic sides, and the TrA, IO, and EO muscle thicknesses were measured sequentially[@r12], [@r13]^)^.

For the statistical analysis of the results, SPSS 15.0 for Windows was applied. For comparison of the thicknesses of the paretic and nonparetic side deep abdominal muscles of each group, an independent t-test was performed. In order to compare the thicknesses of the deepEriksson new book, which includes fine detail about a series of his love affairs, also tells of some of the disputes he had with Ferguson over United players on England duty.
