BACKGROUND: Whole-body vibration (WBV) is being used in rehabilitation and sport. Studies confirm its positive impact on muscle strength and power or regulating muscle hypertension. However, there are some uncertainties regarding its influence on postural stability. This issue seems particularly interesting in the case of individuals with generalized joint hypermobility (GJH), for whom proprioceptive training and muscle strengthening exercises are recommended while techniques that decrease muscle tension are not advised...

Introduction Humerus fractures are fairly prevalent in the general population, and their incidence increases with age. The majority of minimally displaced fractures may be treated with prompt rehabilitation. An interdisciplinary team strategy involving experienced musculoskeletal specialists, geriatricians, and skilled physiotherapists should be employed for optimal therapy. Rehabilitation is essential in coping with the consequences of the fracture. The greatest current information for shoulder rehabilitation comprises the use of counseling, exercises, and mobility of restricted joints to regain upper limb function...

BACKGROUND: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with unique differences in social interaction, communication, and a spectrum of behavioral characteristics. In the past, motor disturbance in individuals with ASD has not been considered a significant core deficit due to the predominant focus on sociability and communication issues. However, recent studies indicate that motor deficits are indeed associated with the fundamental symptoms of ASD. As there is limited research on the motor behavior of children with ASD, particularly in China, the objective of this study is to investigate the development of fundamental movement skills (FMS) in children with ASD and compare them to typically developing children...

Concussion can lead to various symptoms such as balance problems, memory impairments, dizziness, and/or headaches. It has been previously suggested that during self-motion relevant tasks, individuals with concussion may rely heavily on visual information to compensate for potentially less reliable vestibular inputs and/or problems with multisensory integration. As such, concussed individuals may also be more sensitive to other visually-driven sensations such as visually induced motion sickness (VIMS). To investigate whether concussed individuals are at elevated risk of experiencing VIMS, we exposed participants with concussion (n = 16) and healthy controls (n = 15) to a virtual scene depicting visual self-motion down a grocery store isle at different speeds...

Cerebral palsy (CP) manifests as atypical muscle tone, posture, and movement, and is classified into four main types: extrapyramidal (dyskinetic), spastic quadriplegia, spastic hemiplegia, and spastic diplegia. Patients with CP might move awkwardly because of this since it indicates that their muscles are tense. We report the case of a 13-year-old child who complained of soreness in his right calf muscle and trouble walking over the previous two years. His condition is recognized as spastic diplegic CP. This report aims to understand the impact of neurophysiotherapy procedures in the context of CP...

Aging is a primary risk factor for degenerative tendon injuries, yet the etiology and progression of this degeneration is poorly understood. While aged tendons have innate cellular differences that support a reduced ability to maintain mechanical tissue homeostasis, the response of aged tendons to altered levels of mechanical loading has not yet been studied. To address this question, we subjected young and aged murine flexor tendon explants to various levels of in vitro tensile strain. We first compared the effect of static and cyclic strain on matrix remodeling in young tendons, finding that cyclic strain is optimal for studying remodeling in vitro...
