Heeled shoes increase muscle activity during gait in healthy females: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Altered muscle activity during gait can change the function of the musculoskeletal system and increase the risk of injury. This systematic review and meta-analysis study aimed to investigate the effect of wearing heeled shoes during gait on muscle activity.

Research Question: Does wearing different heeled shoes (low: 1.

Adding Neurofeedback Training to Neuromuscular Training for Rehabilitation of Chronic Ankle Instability: A 3-Arm Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Neurofeedback training (NFT) can aid in the treatment of the abnormal patterns of the brain brought on by physical injury, enhancing cognitive and behavioral abilities. The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of combining neuromuscular training (NMT) and NFT (NMT+NFT) with NMT alone in rehabilitating athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Hypothesis: NMT+NFT will be more effective than NMT alone.

Eight-Week Inspiratory Muscle Training Alters Electromyography Activity of the Ankle Muscles During Overhead and Single-Leg Squats: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of 8-week inspiratory muscle training on activity in the ankle muscles of athletes with chronic low-back pain. A randomized controlled trial involving 45 men and women with chronic low-back pain was carried out. Electromyography activity in the tibialis anterior, peroneus longus, gastrocnemius medialis, and gastrocnemius lateralis muscles of the dominant leg was recorded.

Inspiratory Muscle Training in Rehabilitation of Low Back Pain: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Context: People with chronic low back pain (CLBP) suffer from weaknesses in their core muscle activity and dysfunctional breathing. Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) was recently developed to treat this condition.

Objectives: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of IMT on core muscle activity, pulmonary parameters, and pain intensity in athletes with CLBP.

Reduction of postural sway in athletes with chronic low back pain through eight weeks of inspiratory muscle training: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postural control and respiratory function are mechanically and neuromuscularly dependent on each other. The present study was conducted to determine the effects of inspiratory muscle training on postural sway in athletes with chronic low back pain.

Methods: Twenty-four patients were randomly selected as the experimental group and 23 patients as the control group.

Effect of respiratory muscle training session on ankle muscle activity in athletes with chronic low back pain performing overhead squats: a randomized controlled trial.

Aim: The current study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a respiratory muscle training session on ankle muscle activity in athletes with chronic low back pain performing overhead squats.

Methods: The current double-blind, randomized, controlled trial was conducted on 24 patients randomly selected as the training group and 23 patients as the control group. The training group received the respiratory muscle training protocol.
