Correlation between power elbow flexion and physical performance test: a potential predictor for assessing physical performance in older adults
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: With the increasing number of older adults and their declining motor and cognitive function, it is crucial to find alternative methods for assessing physical functionality. The Short Physical ...
Quadriceps and gluteus medius activity during stable and unstable loading exercises in athletes. A cross-sectional study
(John Wiley & Sons, 2023)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the muscle activation of the vastus medialis, vastus lateralis, and gluteus medius during different strength and stability exercises with a water tank compared with ...
Correlation between physical performance and tensiomyographic and myotonometric parameters in older adults
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: To examine the correlation between physical performance and muscle strength and the variables obtained from tensiomyography and myotonometry. Methods: Fifty-two older adults able to complete ...
Precision and safety of ultrasound-guided versus palpation-guided needle placement on the patellar tendon: a cadaveric study
(MDPI, 2023)
For decades, needling interventions have been performed based on manual palpation and anatomic knowledge. The increasing use of real-time ultrasonography in clinical practice has improved the accuracy ...
Immediate effects of TECAR therapy on gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscles with spastic hypertonia in chronic stroke survivors: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2023)
Background: The aim of this study was to assess changes in muscle properties after a single session of capacitive and resistive energetic transfer (TECAR) therapy on spastic gastrocnemius and quadriceps ...
Skull fractures by glass bottles tested on cadaveric heads
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Head trauma is frequently related to the misuse of drinking vessels as weapons. Forensic reports usually evaluate these blunt injuries as having occurred in scenarios where the alcohol intake is high. ...
Assessment of the 4-meter walk test test-retest reliability and concurrent validity and its correlation with the five sit-to-stand test in chronic ambulatory stroke survivors
(Elsevier, 2023)
Background: The 4-meter walk test (4-MWT) is a widely used measure to assess gait speed in the elderly but has not been validated for stroke survivors to date. Objectives: To assess the test-retest ...
Changes in the sprint, vertical jump and quadriceps strength after a capacitive resistive electric transfer therapy intervention - a randomized clinical trial
(MDPI, 2024)
Generating large mechanical power during actions such as sprinting or jumping is a crucial factor in many sports. These types of actions require a good warm-up activation. Capacitive-Resistive Electric ...
Kinematic analysis of human gait in healthy young adults using IMU sensors: exploring relevant machine learning features for clinical applications
(MDPI, 2024)
Background: Gait is the manner or style of walking, involving motor control and coordination to adapt to the surrounding environment. Knowing the kinesthetic markers of normal gait is essential for the ...
Cognitive enhancement strategies for older adults: an evaluation of different training modalities to improve executive function- a systematic review and meta-analysis
(MDPI, 2024)
(1) Background: The aging population is expected to triple by 2050. Executive functions decline with age, impacting daily tasks, and this is associated with neurodegenerative diseases. Aerobic and ...
