Lifting is a common task. This work typically requires muscle strength, especially the back muscles. However, this work carries a risk of back injury if performed incorrectly or inappropriately. Using a back muscle injur...

The accurate ascertainment of injury epidemiology within a target population is the first step in sports injury prevention. However, in regional collegiate American football leagues in Japan, collected surveillance data ...

Abstract Background In basketball, quadriceps strains and contusions are common due to the muscle’s role in knee extension and hip flexion, with the rectus femoris most prone to injury because it crosses both joints, m...

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in reduced core region function and shoulder pain among wheelchair users. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of modified dynamic neuromuscular stabilizati...

Background: The squat is a fundamental lower-body exercise that activates key muscles, including the rectus femoris, vastus medialis oblique, biceps femoris, and semitendinosus. Variations in angle and stability may inf...

Abstract Background The imaging and electrodiagnostic (EDX) characteristics of traumatic brachial plexus injury (TBPI) are incompletely reported. Objectives To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and EDX characterist...

# Background Capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency (CRMF) improves muscle extensibility and local tissue oxygen saturation in the trunk region. However, its effects on the lower extremities, particularly the rect...

Abstract Background Gait impairments following chronic neurological conditions, such as spinal cord injury (SCI), represent a major challenge for rehabilitation, with limited options to sustain functional recovery and pa...

ABSTRACT Background Thoracolumbar burst fractures with neurological deficits require decompression and stabilization. The spinous process‐splitting approach (SPSA) achieves neural decompression while preserving the pos...

Background: Health professions education is undergoing a paradigm shift from a predominantly curative focus towards prevention and health promotion, in line with global health priorities such as Sustainable Development ...

BackgroundComplex anal fistulas remain a surgical challenge due to their intricate anatomy, high recurrence rates, and potential for sphincter injury. We report a rare case of complex anal fistula with multiple external ...

Background and Objectives: Iraqi hospitals needs the services of nurses throughout the 24 hours including night time, and it is very necessary to study the impacts of night work on nurses in many aspects such as physic...

Abstract Background Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, is a leading cause of disability and frailty in older adults. Though primarily seen as a musculoskeletal condition, emerging evidence sugg...

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of different mobility aids during the early rehabilitation phase following surgical repair of acute...

Hamstring muscle injuries are among the most common lower-extremity injuries in active individuals. Hamstring injuries follow a consistent pattern with a consistent medical history, which includes a sudden, explosive ty...

Abstract Background Crush syndrome (consisting of hyperkalemia, acidosis, hypocalcemia, and acute kidney injury), is the second-most common cause of death in earthquakes, and a frequent cause of critical illness after bu...

Background: Repetitive Peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (rPMS) is an innovative neuromodulation technique that has gained attention for its potential therapeutic effects in both musculoskeletal and neurological disorders....

Latar Belakang. Perlekatan frenulum tinggi berdampak merugikan bagi jaringan periodontal maupun fungsi estetik. Perlekatan tinggi yang terjadi pada labialis superior, menimbulkan gingivitis dan sentral diastema yang menj...

BackgroundThis study investigated whether manual therapy applied to tendon organs ameliorated neuromuscular dysfunction in rats with spasticity induced by upper motor neuron injury associated with spastic cerebral palsy,...

BackgroundSarcopenia has a high incidence in older patients with sepsis and is closely associated with poor prognosis, but its metabolic characteristics under this specific stress state remain unclear. This study aims to...

Abstract Background Advanced footwear technologies (AFT) are popular for their potential performance benefits, though concerns about injury risks persist. Among various AFT features, sole thickness is particularly debate...

Abstract Background Childbirth can be psychologically traumatic for up to 44% of women. Determinants of a negative childbirth experience include loss of control and lack of emotional support or interaction with obstetric...

Background: As athletes develop, their motor patterns evolve from variable to adaptive neuromuscular control strategies, enabling precise execution of complex movements. Traditional linear biomechanical analyses of wrest...

Abstract Background Reports describing sciatic nerve injuries (SNI) and their outcome are scarce in veterinary medicine. Hypothesis Describe the causes of traumatic and iatrogenic SNI and evaluate which clinical and elec...
