Eligibility criteria consisted of:- shoulder pain of a musculoskeletal benign nature such as inflammation, arthritis, muscle trigger point overuse, impingement, and degenerative changes. ...
Results outside the normative values or a fall in one leg is a sensitive indicator of motor impairment, but it does not provide information about the nature of it. Possible causes include musculoskeletal problems (such as leg weakness), neuromuscular problems (e.g., Parkinson’s disease) or sensory impairments (e.g., somatosensory deficit). ...
Thus, results outside the normative values can be representative of a voluntary motor impairment, which can be influenced by several factors, such as biomechanical limitations, central movement disorders, sensory awareness, and fear [5]: Low values in direction control, maximum or endpoint excursion are indicative of limited range of motion, weakness, and other musculoskeletal ...
Significance Lifting from a seated position to a standing position is influenced by several musculoskeletal, movement control, and balance factors. Results outside the normative values can be indicative of reduced range of motion and flexibility in the lower extremity or trunk (thus the weight time transfer can be slower), reduced trunk and lower limb strength or movement ...
These results support the use of abaloparatide as the initial treatment in sequential therapy with ALN in women with PMO at very high fracture risk, a treatment paradigm consistent with recently updated clinical practice guidelines from organizations such as American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) and European Society for Clinical and Economic Aspects of Osteoporosis, Osteoarthritis ...
Keywords Chronic low back pain durability functional segmental stability multifidus muscle restorative neurostimulation Introduction Most cases of acute low back pain resolve spontaneously without treatment, but for chronic low back pain (CLBP), the prognosis is not favorable.1 Patients with CLBP often endure impaired quality of life, depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbance.2,3 ...
This led me to join the Raymond Purves Bone and Joint Research Labs in 2008, where I investigated a range of musculoskeletal pathologies, potential therapeutics and their mechanisms of action, including mesenchymal signalling cells (MSCs). ...
Chiropractic treatments are used widely across the world to treat many musculoskeletal pains. This form of alternative treatment can directly come in contact with one’s pain in his or her body. ...
Everyone at some time in their life has suffered from the throbbing, aching, and annoying pain of a headache. Headaches can be mild, or they can be severe and even debilitating. While most people experience a headache occasionally, others deal with recurrent head pain, sometimes experiencing headaches weekly, or even up to 15 or more times each month, as in the case of chronic ...

Lack of good posture for a short period of time might have minimal impact beyond a stiff neck or sore muscles, yet chronic exposure while working in a discomforting position can lead to the development of musculoskeletal disorders such as tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain and neck pain. ...
Also known as “regenerative injection therapy” (RIT), prolotherapy is a procedure used to treat musculoskeletal conditions including tendinopathies, osteoarthritis, and chronic pain of the cervical spine, lumbar spine, and pelvis (Sit et al. 2017). ...
The Lifting Intervention For Training Muscle and Osteoporosis Rehabilitation for Men (LIFTMOR-M) trial was designed to compare the efficacy and safety of two novel, supervised, twice-weekly, high-intensity exercise programs in middle-aged and older men with osteopenia and osteoporosis on musculoskeletal health and risk factors related to falls and fractures. The current report ...
Force myography sensors measure the localized pressure exerted by the wrist musculoskeletal complex on the band. The device outputs a unit called hand counts, which returns a count of one when the band senses arm movement before or after detecting both wrist activity (ie, relative wrist flexion or extension) and hand activity (ie, a change in the force myography signal pattern). ...
Based upon this review, it calls for increased organisational commitment to ergonomic policy and concludes with some suggested available resources.Keywords: ergonomics, ergonomic policy, mobile computing, nomadic work, musculoskeletal injuries, repetitive stress injuries, technology acceleration, risk management, technology deployment, technology use, computer use, information ...
These activities may cause Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to improper work postures. In this paper, a biomechanics approach is proposed to evaluate the work posture and provide a safe working environment. ...
