Stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability in adults, causing residual sensorimotor deficits in many survivors. Patients may have different impairments according to laterality of injury, as well as different responses to some therapies.

This preliminary study sought to investigate motor learning in rehabilitation of stroke patients with non-immersive virtual environment by process (electroencephalography) and product (performance) measures in stroke patients with left and right cerebral hemispheres damage.

The study included 10 chronic stroke patients; 5 with left brain injury (LI), mean age 48.8 years (±4.76), and 5 with right brain injury (RI), mean age 52 years (±10.93). Patients were evaluated for electroencephalographic activity (alpha and beta frequencies) and performance (absolute error) in a darts game on XBOX Kinect (Microsoft®). Then they underwent a virtual darts game training task, 12 sessions for 4 weeks (acquisition stage). After training, they were revaluated (long-term retention).

RI group increased alpha power and decreased beta in ipsilesional areas, increased activation on left hemisphere and decreased the absolute error of performance; LI group increased right hemisphere activation and did not decrease the absolute error.

Patients with right brain injury reduce neural effort and errors after virtual darts training, which did not happen to patients with left brain injury. Therefore, the laterality of lesion should be considered in studies that use virtual reality for stroke rehabilitation.

To compare acute effects of isometric abdominal exercises performed with or without vibration on the electromyographic activity and cutaneous temperature in the abdominal region of physically active individuals.

A randomized controlled crossover clinical trial was undertaken in thirty volunteers who completed one unique session of two different protocols of interventions apart from a week from each other, in a two-week study protocol. The subjects were randomly divided in to two groups of 15 volunteers; both were assigned to perform board exercise (30s on the front, right and left lateral boards, with a rest interval of 2min). The first group performed it on a vibrating platform at a frequency of 30Hz for the first week, while the remaining participants executed the same exercise without stimulates vibration. Amcenestrant Estrogen antagonist In the second week the protocol was inverted. The outcome were surface electromyography (EMG) data for the rectus abdominis muscle (RAM) and cutaneous temperature (CT) of the abdominal region. Normality was accepted, and Student's t-tests were used to compare the measurements for dependents variables (P<0.05).

There were no differences in RAM activation and CT between protocols with or without vibration (P>0.05). CT increased (P=0.001) after both the exercises with and without vibration.

The results suggest that there were no effects in cutaneous temperature or muscle activation through the use of vibration associated with isometric abdominal exercises.

Pilates training has several well-known benefits for people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). However, its effect on functional balance is unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of pilates exercises on the functional balance of male patients with MS.

In the present parallel group randomized controlled trial, 30 men with MS were recruited from a local corrective exercise clinic in Tehran, Iran, and randomized into Pilates training group (N=15), and control group (N=15). At baseline, the age range was 25-40 years, and disability score index was 3-5.

The intervention group received Pilates exercises including the extension of the thoracic spine, abdominal strengthening, core stabilizing exercises, upper and lower limb, and posture exercises for 12 weeks.

Functional balance assessments including Berg's Balance Scale (BBS) test, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, and Functional Reach Test (FRT) were measured at the baseline and after 12 weeks.

At a 12-week follow-up, a significant between-group difference was observed in favor of the Pilates training group for the functional balance scores (P<0.05), while no adverse or harmful events were reported in any group.

Pilates training increases the functional balance of MS patients, and decreases known risk factors for falls among the patients in this group, which may have the potential to reduce therapeutic costs and can be considered as a complementary therapeutic approach for physical therapists and corrective exercise experts.

Infraspinatus is one of the main muscles that is involved in the subacromial impingement syndrome. link2 Dry needling and routine physical therapy can improve this syndrome. However, the dry needling technique is not well defined.

randomized controlled clinical trial, single-blind study.

Sixty-six patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome were recruited and randomly divided into three groups.

In 1st group; patients received deep dry needling technique in addition to routine physical therapy, in Hong's group; patients received Hong's dry needling technique in addition to routine physiotherapy and in third group; patient just received routine physical therapy.

Before, immediately after and 4 weeks after the intervention, pain, disability and the pressure pain threshold were measured.

The findings of this study indicated that in DDN group, pain and disability reduction was significantly more than two other groups. Although, the pressure pain tolerance increased in all three groups after treatment, but the increase between groups was not significantly different. link3 All study groups showed reduction in pain, while there was no significant difference between the three groups.

Pain and disability reduction in the DDN group compared to the other two groups may reveal the treatment with deep dry needling technique along with routine physiotherapy is more effective than receiving dry needling with Hong's technique or routine physiotherapy alone. However, there was no significant difference between the three groups in pressure pain tolerance threshold and pain reduction.

The modified Functional Movement Screen™ (mFMS) has been used to screen for mobility, stability, motor control, and balance in older adults, yet, its relationship to measures of physical fitness is not fully understood. The purpose of this study was to determine the association between mFMS scores and measures of physical fitness in older adults. A secondary aim was to determine physical fitness differences depending on mFMS Lower Body Motor Control Screen scores.

One hundred and eight older adults completed this cross-sectional study. Measurements of physical fitness included Handgrip Strength (HG), Back-Leg Strength Dynamometer (BLS), 8 foot Up and Go (8UG), Vertical Jump (VJ), Medicine Ball Throw (MBT), Chair Stand (CST), Arm Curl (AC), and 6-Minute Walk test (6MW). The mFMS consisted of four screens Shoulder Mobility Screen (SMS), Deep Squat (DS), Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR), and a Lower Body Motor Control Screen (LB-MCS). Spearman's R correlations determined associations between physical fitness tests and mFMS scores (DS, SMS, ASLR). Independent t-tests or Mann Whitney U tests determined whether individuals who passed the LB-MCS displayed higher physical fitness scores.

The DS was significantly correlated with all fitness measures (p<0.05). Higher DS scores were associated with better HG (r=0.31), BLS (r=0.49), VJ height (r=0.54), MBT (r=0.41), CST (r=0.57), AC (r=0.30), 6MW (r=0.50), and 8UG (r=-0.61) performance. Individuals who passed the LB-MCS displayed superior BLS, 8UG test, and 6MW test performance (p<0.05).

Higher DS scores are associated with higher physical fitness scores. Individuals who passed the LB-MCS displayed better physical fitness scores. Practitioners may desire to use the mFMS to measure physical fitness in older adults.

In this quarterly overview, we included studies from 19 countries, including Pakistan, Iran, Spain, Israel, the US, Australia, Turkey, the UK, China, Italy, Germany, Brazil, Denmark, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, India, New Zealand, and Thailand. As encouraging as it may be that myofascial pain is being considered worldwide, it is frustrating how many studies do not include a proper control group making them not very useful. It is not clear why researchers would go through the trouble of setting up a study, which requires many hours of work and dedication, and not produce a meaningful paper for clinicians and researchers alike. Fortunately, several papers are high quality studies. This overview covers 39 basic research studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, clinical studies, and a few case reports.
This study aims to develop a standard number of repetition at angular velocities of 60°/sec and 180°/sec and define the difference of number of repetitions between genders.

One hundred ninety-six athletes (judo, volleyball, Greco-Roman wrestling, runners, and gymnastics) were involved. Concentric-concentric isokinetic muscle strength of the knee flexor-extensor muscles of the athletes were performed with an ISOMED 2000 isokinetic dynamometer. The evaluation test protocol consisted of 10 repetition of knee flexion-extension at 60°/sec and 30 repetitions at 180°/sec.

Athletes performed with maximal knee flexion strength at their second and third trial at 60°/sec and third-forth trial at 180°/sec. It was found that 2 repetitions and 2-3 repetitions were needed for knee extension peak torque at 60°/sec and 180°/sec respectively. The difference between the genders was significant at 60°/sec for knee flexion and extension on the dominant side; at 180°/sec for knee extension on the dominant and non-dominant side.
