Objective: To explore the application value of DTI combined with DTT in brain function and volume in children with autism. Methods: A total of 616 children with autism diagnosed from January 2020 to December 2022 (ASD gr...

Abstract Background Elite female basketball players experience a high incidence of lower-limb injuries, yet evidence remains limited regarding the applicability of common functional performance tests in this population. ...

ABSTRACT Strength and conditioning professionals continuously seek innovative strategies to enhance neuromuscular performance. This study examined muscle activation in the rectus femoris (RF), vastus lateralis (VL), vast...

ABSTRACT Systematic studies involving technologies such as surface electromyography (sEMG) may provide important data that enable veterinarians to recognize musculoskeletal, ligamentous, and neurological alterations. The...

Ultimate Frisbee, a high intensity noncontact sport, poses significant injury risks due to the dynamic demands of sprinting, cutting, and jump landings. These injuries negatively impact athletic performance and carry pot...

Background: Despite the importance of investigating the effect of night shifts on the gait kinematics of nurses, the literature lacks sufficient evidence to evaluate this relationship. Therefore, the present study aimed ...

الملخص: أهداف البحث: هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى مقارنة أداء اختبار الصعود والنزول على الدرجة بين الطرفين السفليين المسيطر وغ...

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 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...
