Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation is a common intervention after ACL reconstruction. Since different types of exercise can influence muscle and kinematic parameters in diverse ways, the training order between the knee and ankle joints may also change gait parameters.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether the training sequence of the knee and ankle joints (knee followed by ankle training or vice-versa) in an ACL reconstruction (ACLR) rehabilitation program has any effects on knee extension and flexion torques.
Study Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial.
Introduction: High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) was recently introduced to the physiotherapy field as a treatment option for patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, evidence about its effectiveness on pregnant women with CTS is sparse.
Objectives: Recently, high-intensity laser therapy has been used in the therapeutic protocols for pain management. We aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of high-intensity laser therapy versus other different modalities for improving lateral epicondylitis symptoms.
Methodology: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis on prospective randomized controlled trials from PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Science Direct until June 2021 using relevant key words.
Unlabelled: Chronic ankle instability (CAI) is frequently developed due to failure of the functional rehabilitation after acute ankle sprain. So, there is a need for an alternative way by which we can begin neuro-muscular control retraining sooner.
Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effect of 6-week Single-limb Balance Training Program of the non-affected side on the Overall Stability Index (OASI), Antero-Posterior Stability Index (APSI), and the Medio-Lateral Stability Index (MLSI) of the affected side in females with unilateral CAI.
