Relationship between hip abductor muscle strength and frontal plane kinematics: a cross-sectional study in elite handball athletes
(MDPI, 2022)
Frontal plane kinematics of the lower limb could be especially relevant in the risk of injuries in handball (HB) athletes. An association between lower limb frontal plane kinematics and hip abductor ...
Combination of two manipulative techniques for the treatment of cervicogenic dizziness: a randomized controlled trial
(MDPI, 2022)
