The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between several physical performance variables and bone parameters in a group of middle-aged men. 50 middle-aged men participated in this study. Body composition and bone variables were evaluated by DXA. Bone mineral density (BMD) was measured at the whole body (WB), total radius (TR), lumb...

Neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) is an abnormal development of bone in extra-skeletal tissues, related to neurological disease. NHO is frequently seen after traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury. NHO may also occur as a rare complication of Guillain Barre Syndrome (GBS). Here, we present a 39 year old man with an acute onset of GBS ...

Critical illness polyneuropathy and myopathy (CIPNM) is a disabling neuropathy that occurs in intensive care unit (ICU) subjects. It was hypothesized that a low serum level or deficiency of 25(OH)D might be associated with CIPNM. The aim of the present study was to ascertain the 25(OH)D serum level in subjects with CIPNM. Consecutive ICU patients a...

Objectives: This study examined performance fatigability and the patterns of neuromuscular responses for electromyographic (EMG) and mechanomyographic (MMG) amplitude (AMP) and mean power frequency (MPF) during bilateral (BL) and unilateral (UL) maximal, isokinetic leg extensions. Methods: Peak torque for each repetition and EMG and MMG signals fro...

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) on senile osteoporosis patients and their effects on the expression level of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP). Methods: 116 elderly patients with osteoporotic fracture were divided into DHS group (n=67) and PFNA group (n...

Objective: To translate and validate into Greek, the SARC-F questionnaire, a screening tool for sarcopenia. Methods: Questionnaire was back-translated and culturally adapted into Greek according to guidelines proposed by the World Health Organization. A convenience sample of 197 Greek elderly people (71.6±7.8 years, 68.5% women) was recruited, 64 o...

Objectives: To evaluate impact of first therapy session, containing functional electrical stimulation (FES) and therapeutic exercises (TE) on erector spinae (ES) and rectus abdominis (RA) force generation in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods: Five men with SCI were divided in two groups - FES+TE received concurrent FES on ES and RA and...

Objectives: Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is involved in the coordination of bone mass and adiposity. However, multiple NPY sources exist and their individual contribution to the skeleton and adiposity not known. The objectives of our study were to evaluate the effects of peripheral mesenchymal derived NPY to the skeleton and adiposity and to compare them t...

Objectives: To determine changes in neuromuscular performance throughout the menstrual cycle in females aged 18-25. Methods: Fifty physically active college females (25 on oral contraceptives (OC)) were recruited to participate. Data collection visits coincided with early-follicular (Fp), ovulatory (Op), and the mid-luteal (Lp) phases. Isokinetic p...
