Does self-myofascial release cause a remote hamstring stretching effect based on myofascial chains? A randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Background: The hamstring muscles are described as forming part of myofascial chains or meridians, and the superficial back line (SBL) is one such chain. Good hamstring flexibility is fundamental to ...
Sex differences in pre-season anthropometric, balance and range-of-motion characteristics in elite youth soccer players
(MDPI, 2022)
In soccer, injury epidemiology differs between males and females. It is clinically useful to know whether there are between-sex differences in selected characteristics relevant to primary injury risk ...
Effect of an unsupervised exercises-based athletics injury prevention programme on injury complaints leading to participation restriction in athletics: a cluster-randomised controlled trial
(MDPI, 2021)
Objective: To test the efficacy of the Athletics Injury Prevention Programme (AIPP) to reduce the percentage of athletes presenting at least one injury complaint leading to participation restriction ...
Biological roles and delivery strategies for ions to promote osteogenic induction
(Frontiers Media, 2021-01-14)
Bone is the most studied tissue in the field of tissue regeneration. Even though it has intrinsic capability to regenerate upon injury, several pathologies and injuries could hamper the highly orchestrated ...
Efects of occipital‑atlas stabilization in the upper cervical spine kinematics: an in vitro study
(Springer Nature, 2021)
This study compares upper cervical spine range of motion (ROM) in the three cardinal planes before and after occiput-atlas (C0–C1) stabilization. After the dissection of the superficial structures to ...
Correlation between physical performance and stabilometric parameters in older adults
(MDPI, 2022)
Background and Objectives: Falls are a common and serious threat to the health and independence of older adults. The decrease in functional capacity during aging means an increased risk of falls. To ...
A novel chitosan composite biomaterial with drug eluting capacity for maxillary bone regeneration
(MDPI, 2023)
Bone grafting is one of the most commonly performed treatments for bone healing or repair. Autografts, grafts from the same patient, are the most frequently used bone grafts because they can provide ...
Short-term effects of three types of hamstring stretching on length, neurodynamic response, and perceived sense of effort: a randomised cross-over trial
(MDPI, 2022)
Background: Stretching techniques for hamstring muscles have been described both to increase muscle length and to evaluate nerve mechanosensitivity. Aim: We sought to evaluate the short-term effects of ...
Thermal and current flow effects of a capacitive–resistive electric transfer application protocol on chronic elbow tendinopathy. A cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2021)
Lateral elbow tendinopathy, or “tennis elbow,” is a pathology that affects around 1.3% of the general population. Capacitive–resistive electric transfer therapy aims to provoke temperature and current ...
Early short-term postoperative mechanical failures of current ceramic-on-ceramic bearing total hip arthroplasties
(MDPI, 2020)
Although ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been shown to produce the smallest amount of wear volume in vitro as well as in vivo studies when used for total hip arthroplasties (THA), concerns about ...
