Accurate measurement of lower-limb kinematics in outdoor sports is challenging due to the limitations of marker-based motion capture and inertial sensors. This study evaluates a stereo camera–based 3D pose estimation p...

ABSTRACT The use of endo-exo prosthesis is an alternative to improve the quality of life of amputees, allowing correct distribution of body weight, reducing skin problems and pain related to the implant, and reducing lam...

IntroductionInjury assessment and forensic decision support are pivotal challenges in sports medicine, requiring advanced methods to interpret complex biomechanical and medical imaging evidence under uncertainty. This st...

ABSTRACT To examine the acute effect of gliclazide on exercise performance and recovery of muscle strength in healthy participants. We conducted a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled crossover clinical trial...

Despite decades of global attention, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) remain a significant challenge, with substantial personal and societal costs (1). The lack of progress in addressing this prevalent proble...

Introduction: The increase in the number of MSD cases in the construction industry is due to repetitive bending of the back, lifting and pushing/pulling with the arms, with lifting often being from a height lower than th...

Abstract Background Pediatric habitual patellar dislocation in extension (E-HPD) is a rare and specific form of patellar dislocation with limited reports in the literature. For children with immature epiphyses, the gold ...

Abstract Background There have been emerging clinical trials investigating the efficacy of synthetic-graft-augmented autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in recent years. Hamstring tendon and Li...

The study evaluated the influence of immediate physical therapy on the functional recovery of hind limbs of dogs with experimental cranial cruciate ligament rupture which underwent surgical extracapsular stabilization as...

Abstract Background Obesity in adults over 65 years is increasingly prevalent and linked to comorbidities like type 2 diabetes (T2D), hypertension (HTN), osteoarthritis (OA), and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), where cons...

Abstract Eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) impairs muscle function and recovery. While omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) supplementation has shown promise in mitigating EIMD, the role of their o...

This study focused on the switch leap to ring position in women's artistic gymnastics (i) to elucidate its technical characteristics and (ii) to exploratorily identify key factors, beyond basic technical criteria, that m...

The purpose of this study was to clarify whether plasma concentrations of GH and lactate (La) are concurrently elevated by resistance training under 15.4 % of hypoxic conditions. Six athletes (age, 21.6 ｱ 1.0 y; height...

Abstract Objective Considering the increased frequency of maternal deaths reported from 2001 to 2005 for Indigenous andmestizo women from the Ecuadorian rural area ofOtavalo,where the Kichwa people has lived for centur...

ABSTRACT Background Physical exercise is recommended for sarcopenia prevention and treatment. Patients with frailty often show poor tolerance. To achieve universal availability, electrical stimulation of skeletal muscles...

Abstract Background Tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSFs) are the pediatric equivalent of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. The optimal management of type II fractures remains debated, and both conservative and...

Abstract Background Musculoskeletal diseases, such as Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), can lead to altered joint mobility and changes in gait pattern. While marker-based motion capture systems are considered the gold...

Aim: Prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are severe complications of joint arthroplasty, and their management has become increasingly complex in the era of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to evaluate the microb...

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate, in a practical manner, the use of linear and angular measurements and different animal-performance indices in a study on the breed-specific conformation of Brazilian Sport Horses tr...

ABSTRACT This study evaluated isometric muscle strength (elbow and knee flexors and extensors), screen time, and their associations with individual and contextual factors in pediatric oncology patients. A portable dynamo...

Abstract The lower limb exoskeletons are used to assist wearers in various scenarios such as medical and industrial settings. Complex modeling errors of the exoskeleton in different application scenarios pose challenges ...

Purpose: To assess the viability of the peroneus longus tendon allograft (PLTA) as a suitable alternative to traditional allografts used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Methods: Surgery center logs w...

Introduction: This pilot study investigated the effects of ovariectomy-induced estrogen deficiency on the biomechanical properties of intact anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) in a porcine model, a biological condition t...

We report a case of a 14-year-old Asian male who presented with a Salter–Harris Type II injury of the proximal tibial epiphysis and a fibular fracture following a minor mechanism of injury. The patient was emergency tr...
