Validity and reliability of Glittre activities of daily living test in lower-limb prosthetic users.

Background: Functional capacity assessments have an important role in determining the level of mobility in lower-limb prosthetic users.

Objectives: Our aim was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Glittre activities of daily living (ADL) test in lower-limb prosthetic users.

Study Design: A cross-sectional study.

Comparison of the effects of low level laser and insoles on pain, functioning, and muscle strength in subjects with stage 2 posterior tibial tendon dysfunction: A randomized study.

Background: Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is known to be effective in tendinopathies. No study yet investigated the effect of LLLT on posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) in comparison to orthotic treatment.

Objective: The aim was to compare the effects of LLLT and insole application on pain, function and muscle strength in subjects with stage 2 PTTD.

The effect of brace treatment on pulmonary functions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: An 8-month follow-up study.

Background: The instant effect of a brace on pulmonary functions of patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is known. However, the permanent effects of its regular use are still unclear.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a brace in patients with AIS had a permanent effect on respiratory functions.
