Reliability of Dynamic Balance Test with A Mobile Application of Physics Toolbox Suite.

Although mobile applications are used as an alternative to expensive and difficult to access systems used to evaluate dynamic balance, existing applications have some shortcomings. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the Physics Toolbox Suite mobile application, which can obtain objective data for dynamic balance measurements in healthy adults, shorten the duration of measurements, and minimize the number of measurement equipment. The dynamic balance of 22 university students (9 male, 13 female, aged 20.

Can Stretching Your Hamstrings Unlock Your Jaw? Investigating the Surprising Connection Between Hamstring Flexibility and Jaw Function.

Background: The hamstring muscles play a crucial role in posture and movement, with interventions such as stretching and myofascial release commonly used to improve flexibility and muscle function. Emerging evidence suggests that targeting the hamstrings may influence distant structures like the masseter muscle through myofascial connections, highlighting the need for studies investigating these systemic interactions.

Aim: To assess the immediate effects of hamstring stretching alone or combined with myofascial release of the hamstring muscle on masseter muscle activity, pressure pain threshold, active mouth opening, hamstring flexibility, and forward head flexed posture in recreationally active participants.

Selective Activation of the Infraspinatus During External Rotation Exercises in Participants with Rounded Shoulder Posture: Comparison of Three Common Exercises and Muscle Architecture-Based Exercise.

: The infraspinatus muscle is critical for shoulder stability and external rotation, yet achieving selective activation during exercises remains challenging. This study explores the effectiveness of a novel muscle architecture-based position (MABER) compared to traditional exercises in individuals with rounded shoulder posture. This prospective, cross-sectional study evaluated the selective activation of the infraspinatus during external rotation exercises in participants with rounded shoulder posture.

Relationship between Central Corneal Thickness and Inter-eye Disease Severity in Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma.

Precis: Inter-ocular comparison of primary angle closure glaucoma subjects with asymmetrical and symmetrical visual field loss, revealed significantly thinner central corneal thickness and higher presenting intraocular pressure in the worse eye of the asymmetrical group.

Purpose: To compare the inter-ocular clinical and biometric parameters of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with asymmetrical and symmetrical visual-field loss at presentation.

Patient And Methods: Retrospective study in which the following clinical data were extracted: presenting intraocular pressure (IOP), gonioscopy, visual-field mean deviation (MD), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD) and axial length (AL).

Investigation of Avalanche Events Occurring in Palandöken Ski Resort.

The aim of the study is to examine the avalanche events that occurred in Erzurum Palandöken Ski Resort. Palandöken's topography makes it vulnerable to avalanches. Avalanches are the rapid and sudden flow of snow masses accumulated on slopes and are considered one of the natural disasters.
