Binocular vision system calibration is extremely important in three-dimensional (3D) measurement. During the calibration process, the establishment of an appropriate objective function has a direct impact on the calibration accuracy. For common two-dimensional (2D) calibration methods, differences in 2D calibration and 3D measurement coordinate sys...

Background/Objectives: Stroke patients generally have balance and gait dysfunction due to decreased range of motion (ROM) and muscle strength of the ankle joint. A therapist can apply a floss band to enhance ROM, pain control, jump performance, strength, myofascial release, and recovery from fatigue. This study compared the immediate effects of flo...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the acute effects of three different warm-up protocols on jump performance in elite male handball players. Warming up with a traditional (TR) set of exercise was compared with balance (BA) and unbalanced (UN) activation protocols. Thirty-two male handball players (age 24.2 ± 4.7 (m ± SD) y, weight 84.4 ±...

The Modified Functional Reach Test (mFRT) was developed to assess sitting balance in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). No studies have explored which mFRT reach directions correlate with the center of pressure (CoP) variables in patients with motor-complete SCI (mcSCI). Addressing this gap is important for improving the clinical usefulness...

Background: Individuals with diabetes face a higher risk of mobility disabilities, frailty, and sarcopenia (physical health agility). Studies have shown an association between HbA1C levels and physical health agility status. There is less information available about the relationship with time in range (%) (TIR). The aim of this study was to evaluat...

Dementia involves the loss of cognitive abilities and impairs functional abilities in daily life. In motor imagery (MI) techniques, motor acts are mentally rehearsed without any overt body movements. The purpose of the randomized controlled trial was to examine the effects of MI on the motor function of older adults with dementia. Overall, 160 part...

Background: The presence of sensorimotor control deficits in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis compared to typically developed adolescents is supported by the literature but lacks reliability studies for assessment in this population. This study aimed to assess the reliability of eight sensorimotor control tests, in terms of static and dynamic balanc...

Balance deficits are present in a variety of clinical populations and can negatively impact quality of life. The integration of wearable sensors and machine learning technology (ML) provides unique opportunities to quantify biomechanical characteristics related to balance outside of a laboratory setting. This article provides a general overview of ...
