This study evaluated whether the use of kinesio taping (KT) would enhance the effect of physical therapy in relieving pain, improving muscle endurance, and boosting functional capacity in adolescents with hemophilia who experience low back pain. Forty-five adolescents with hemophilia (age; 10-13 years) assigned randomly into three treatment arms; K...

To explore the expression of miR-204 in patients with Osteoarthritis (OA) and its effect on chondrocytes. Cartilage tissues of patients with OA, and normal cartilage tissues of patients receiving emergent traumatic amputation were collected. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to quantify the expressions of miRNAs. Chondrocytes of patients wit...

Age, Body Mass Index (BMI) and flexibility are factors affecting foot posture, which is poorly understood in young adults. The objective of this study is to discover the relationships among these factors. 252 healthy participants (106 males, 146 females) between the ages of 18 and 25 were selected. BMI and the Foot Posture Index - 6 item version (F...

The aim of the study was to test the effect of transecting the inferior alveolar nerve on the inorganic bone component of the rat mandible. 7-9 weeks old, male Wistar rats were used for the study. The animals were divided in 3 groups: control, experimental (nerve was transected) and sham (nerve was only prepared but not transected). After 4 weeks, ...

Stroke is a serious condition that leads to disability and death, which affects around 16 million people worldwide each year. The considerable loss of function after stroke is likely to impede walking ability. The current study was to understand the practices of physical therapists in Saudi Arabia and their perspectives on treatment to improve walk...

To examine sex differences in bone characteristics in competitive soccer players. 43 soccer players (male, n=23; female, n=20), and 43 matched controls (males, n=23; females, n=20), completed the study. Areal BMD (aBMD) of the total body, lumbar spine, and dual femur and tibiae volumetric BMD (vBMD), bone geometry, and bone strength variables (pQCT...

This study examined the time course of changes and patterns of responses in electromyographic amplitude (EMG AMP) and EMG mean power frequency (MPF) for the superficial quadriceps muscles during exhaustive treadmill runs within the severe exercise intensity zones (SIZ1 and SIZ2). The EMG signals for the vastus lateralis (VL), rectus femoris (RF), a...

The aim of this study was to assess ageing-related changes in middle-distance running kinematics and performance in master athletes. Male athletes (n=157; 57±13.3 years) competing in the 800- and 1500-m runs at the German Master Athletics Outdoor Championships 2018 were filmed and the bending-over angle, brake angle, leg-stiffness angle, propulsion...

to investigate the combined construction of injectable tissue-engineered bone with calcium phosphate bone cement composite (CPC) and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). The proliferation activity of BMMSCs encapsulated was detected by CCK8 method on the 7th day after its self-coagulation by CPC. qRT-PCR was used to detect the expressions o...

Collagen peptides (CPs) seem to exert beneficial effects on bone and may have a role as a treatment option. In the present randomized prospective study, we aimed to examine the efficacy, as expressed by changes in P1NP and CTX, and the tolerability of 3-month supplementation of calcium, vitamin D with or without bioactive CPs in postmenopausal wome...
