Case report: Physical findings, physical therapy practice, and characteristics of disability of activities of daily living caused by obturator nerve palsy after neurotmesis.

The obturator nerve originates from the lumbar plexus and innervates sensation in the thigh and movement of the adductor muscle group of the hip. Reports on physical therapy for patients with obturator nerve injuries have been limited due to insufficient injuries, and there have been no reports on rehabilitation after neurotmesis. Furthermore, there are no reports on the status of activities of daily living (ADL) and details of physical therapy in patients with paralysis of the adductor muscle group.

Surface electromyographic activity of the erector spinae and multifidus during arm- and leg-ergometer exercises in young healthy men.

Ergometer exercise was considered a new loading method that can be used for participants who are unable to assume the core strengthening exercise posture commonly used to strengthen the erector spinae and multifidus. This study aimed to investigate with healthy participants whether arm and leg ergometers could be used for core strengthening exercises and whether different exercise sites would affect the results. The study was conducted with 15 healthy adult male participants aged 20-35 years.

Perception of Adherence to Daily Human Growth Hormone Treatments Among Pediatric and Adolescent Patients in Japan: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Physicians and Caregivers.

Background: Poor adherence to daily human growth hormone (hGH) treatment has been shown to be associated with poor clinical outcomes for growth hormone deficiency (GHD) patients. However, few studies have examined the perception of adherence to hGH treatment among both physicians and caregivers in Japan.

Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the perception of adherence for daily hGH treatment among physicians and caregivers of pediatric and adolescent patients treated with GH in Japan.
